Aviation catering — Urmia, Iran
Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Urmia (OITR / OMH)
OMH (IATA) · OITR (ICAO)
A 3249 m runway at Urmia clears wide-body movements, so a full three-cabin uplift boards here rather than waiting for a diversion airport with spare capacity. Our inflight catering and in-flight catering run off one kitchen close to the apron, with hi-loader boarding to galley height and airside handling for every uplift, and the same crew handles aviation catering for scheduled, charter, government and private jet operators moving through Urmia (OITR).

Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at OITR / OMH
The wide-body stand at Urmia is worked to one sequence rather than a general schedule, and ramp access is what makes that sequence possible: our crews move through the same gate as the ground handling teams, not around them. Every catering uplift here is tracked from the kitchen seal to the aircraft signature, with no unescorted stage on the apron. That sequence is what a hi-loader delivers and a delivery van at the foot of the stairs cannot.

Between our kitchen and the OITR stand sit a security checkpoint, an escorted apron transit and the wide-body loading sequence itself, and the galley catering plan is built against the slowest of the three, not the fastest. Nothing moves airside without an escort, and nothing is loaded without a chain of custody that starts at the kitchen seal. Every cart is temperature-logged when it is sealed and logged again at the galley door, and the loading sheet carries a signature at handover, matching the catering uplift record kept for the rotation. That signature, not the clock, is what closes the load at Urmia.
One coordinator owns the load from the kitchen seal to the signature at the galley door.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for OITR

Airline food supplier crews cleared for Urmia
Airport catering at OITR is provisioned from a kitchen built around hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell, run to HACCP standard from raw intake to sealed cart. That structure is what lets airport catering in Iran move a full wide-body rotation and a single-passenger VIP tray off the same production floor without either slowing the other. The cold chain holds from the larder to the aircraft door, and the flight kitchen at OMH is built to keep it that way across a multi-class load.
Government flight catering at Urmia runs through the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned as availability allows. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the ramp and is trained to the household and protocol standards a state or royal movement requires. That continuity is what lets a repeat mission through Urmia be handled to the same specification the file already holds, without briefing a new crew each time.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Urmia airport
VVIP catering to a written specification at OMH
Menus produced for Urmia departures are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than issued from one fixed list, so a scheduled service, a state movement and a wide-body charter each leave the kitchen on a different specification. Inflight catering here draws on regional produce where the season allows it, using dairy, orchard fruit and fish sourced within Iran rather than shipped in against the calendar. Every menu is cross-checked against documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements before it is plated, labelled per passenger and per cabin so the crew can match tray to seat without a second check. That labelling discipline is what lets a mixed-cabin, multi-class load leave the kitchen correct the first time.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Urmia carry VIP flight catering plated to a written specification held on file rather than reissued for each rotation, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. Every presentation is checked against that specification before the tray set leaves the kitchen, so the standard travelling to OITR matches the one agreed at booking.

Business cabins
Business cabins moving through OITR take multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, and cabin crew meals in Iran follow the same tray-set discipline as the passenger load leaving Urmia.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger for movements through OMH, with halal and kosher sets produced on a separate line before they are sealed. The full range of IATA special meal codes is available, and inflight catering in Iran is built to carry each one without altering the standard tray running alongside it.

Cold chain and HACCP for aircraft catering at Urmia (OMH)
Flight catering airside delivery at Urmia, Iran
Urmia carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body-rated runway of 3249 metres, and that mix sets the catering plan more than any single flight does: a state delegation is a documentation problem, a charter wave is a capacity problem, and a repeat scheduled rotation is a repetition problem the kitchen solves by holding one specification on file. Airline catering and aviation catering at OITR both run off the same ops desk rather than separate teams, so a diversion or an ad hoc uplift is worked without a handoff between systems.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by airside delivery and hi-loader to galley height, with our own crews on the ramp rather than a delivery left at the foot of the stairs. In-flight catering at OMH is staged from the kitchen seal through an escorted apron transit to the stand, so the loading sequence is the same whether the flight is a scheduled service or a one-off charter. Inflight catering in Urmia and airport catering at OMH both draw on that single route, which keeps the cold chain intact from kitchen to cabin door.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover at the galley door.

“For a last-minute requirement at Urmia (OMH/OITR), we contacted them as our airline catering broker. They understood airline operations and kept communication short, clear, and useful. A good partner to have when the usual supplier is not available. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Hector — Cabin Operations Lead
“I arranged VIP flight catering in Urmia for our departure from OMH/OITR. The order was confirmed quickly, delivered on time, and packed exactly as requested for the aircraft. Good local support for a VIP operation. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Government flight department
Idris — Presidential Flight Coordinator
“I requested kosher airline meals for passengers departing Urmia (OMH/OITR) and the labeling was excellent. All requirements were followed and the cabin crew could see immediately which meal belonged to which passenger. A good experience with complex dietary requests. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at Urmia airport
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Urmia airport
What operations gets asked every week about Urmia.
Ask operations directly →What is the lead time for an airline catering order at OMH?
We work to a standing specification wherever one is on file, so last minute airline catering is handled against that record; for a new account, how far in advance you file changes the level of customisation we can confirm before departure.
With one wide-body-rated runway at OITR, how much does airline catering cost?
There is no published price list: a quotation depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window requested, and the desk returns a figure once those are confirmed for the rotation.
Can you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal in Urmia?
A single kitchen covers both sides of the field, so FBO catering reaches every FBO on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Do you handle VIP flight catering and government flight catering at Urmia Airport?
Yes, under a documented protocol file: security-cleared staff, a sealed uplift, and the load matched to the household or delegation specification held on record.
How are halal, kosher and special meal codes produced for flights through OMH?
OMH departures carry halal and kosher sets produced on a separate line, with the full range of SPML codes documented per passenger before the tray set is sealed.
OITR — do you deliver airline catering airside, and how does the uplift reach the aircraft?
A hi-loader carries every uplift to galley height, so airside delivery here means boarding at the aircraft rather than a handoff at the foot of the stairs.
