Aviation catering — Yazd, Iran
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Yazd (OIYY / AZD)
AZD (IATA) · OIYY (ICAO)
The single runway at Yazd, cleared to wide-body reference code, sets a loading window that our flight kitchen plans against rather than around, so inflight catering here runs on one measured sequence from seal to stand. AERO GOURMET provides in-flight catering and inflight catering for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights, boarding wide-body cabins by hi-loader straight to galley height.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Yazd (AZD)
The loading window at this station is measured, not promised: from the moment a cart is sealed at our kitchen to the moment it clears the galley door on the wide-body stand. Ramp access is held on our own clearance rather than requested rotation by rotation, which keeps the catering uplift moving on the same sequence whatever the traffic on the apron that day. Nothing about the timing is estimated after the fact; it is logged as it happens.

Between our kitchen and the stand at AZD sit screening, escort and apron traffic, and it is that convoy, not the food, that decides whether a loading window holds. We plan the catering uplift against the worst case on that route rather than the average one, so a delay in escort or a queue at the checkpoint does not become a delay at the galley door. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, and the galley catering that reaches the aircraft carries one signature closing the load, naming the person who handed it over and the time it happened.
One sealed cart, one route, one signature — from our kitchen to the galley door.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Yazd, Iran
The flight kitchen behind AZD runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard from intake to load-out. Airport catering OIYY is organised so that a wide-body multi-class rotation and a single VIP sector draw on the same cold chain rather than two separate systems. That structure is what lets airport catering at Yazd take on a government movement and a scheduled rotation from the same kitchen on the same day without either one waiting on the other.
The team that handles government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned as availability allows. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the kitchen and the ramp, and is trained to the royal household standards that a protocol movement is checked against before it boards. That continuity is what keeps the paperwork travelling with a sealed uplift consistent from one rotation to the next, at Yazd and wherever the same aircraft is next provisioned.
VIP flight catering menus for AZD departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at OIYY / AZD
Menus at Yazd are written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed catalogue, so a scheduled rotation and a single VIP sector draw on the same kitchen without either being treated as the exception. Inflight catering here starts from produce typical of this part of Iran — orchard fruit, dairy, regional dates — worked into formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, whether that is a tray set, a meal box or a plated course. Cycles move through the weeks so a repeat rotation is not served the same set twice running, while the specification behind it, the packaging and the labelling, stays fixed. Every set carries documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical information, labelled per passenger and per cabin so the crew can match it against the manifest at boarding.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Yazd (OIYY) are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request for a protocol or private movement. VIP flight catering here is built so the presentation on the day matches what was filed against the standing order, course for course.

Business cabins
Business cabins at AZD run on multi-choice hot service built to a cabin specification, boxed into oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in their own tray sets alongside the passenger load, boarded together so the roster and the manifest close at the same time.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets produced for Yazd cover household, religious and medical requirements documented per passenger, from halal and kosher to the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Yazd handles these on a separate production line, sealed before it joins the main load, so a protocol movement and a scheduled rotation never share a tray run.

Flight catering airside delivery at Yazd airport
Yazd handles scheduled, charter and government traffic off a single wide-body-rated runway, which means a delegation movement and a peak departure wave draw on the same stand capacity rather than separate infrastructure. That mix turns a state visit into a documentation problem as much as a loading one, and a repeat charter rotation into a question of holding the same specification twice running rather than reinventing it.
The uplift here moves from our flight kitchen to the wide-body stand under ramp access held on our own clearance, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Airline catering OIYY and aviation catering OIYY run off that same route, so airport catering in Yazd is planned stand by stand rather than adapted after the aircraft has parked.
On every rotation the commitment is the same: one coordinator named to the movement, carts sealed at the kitchen, and a signed handover at the galley door — in-flight catering Iran-wide is built on that single chain of custody, and inflight catering AZD is no exception to it.

“We needed an airline catering broker at Yazd (AZD/OIYY) and the support was excellent. They understood airline operations and kept communication short, clear, and useful. Very convenient for operational coverage. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

What operations gets asked every week about Yazd.
Ask operations directly →Can you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at AZD, and under what protocol?
Government flight catering and VIP flight catering at this station run under a documented protocol file per passenger, with security-cleared staff and a sealed uplift closing the chain of custody before departure.
Which lead time applies for an order into OIYY, and how late can the specification change?
The sealed cart leaves our kitchen on a fixed route to the stand, and how far in advance an order is placed sets how late the specification can still change; last minute airline catering is handled case by case against that route rather than refused outright.
How do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal in Yazd?
Yazd's GA terminal and the FBOs on the field receive FBO catering on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, dispatched from the same kitchen that provisions the wide-body stands.
What halal, kosher and IATA special meal codes are produced at AZD, and how are they documented?
We produce halal, kosher and the full range of SPML codes on a separate line, with each set of special meals labelled per passenger and matched against the manifest before boarding.
Do you publish what airline catering costs at OIYY?
Yes, by quotation: airline catering cost here depends on cabin count, specification and the loading window requested, and the desk returns a figure once those are known.
