Aviation catering — Zahedan, Iran
Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Zahedan (OIZH / ZAH)
ZAH (IATA) · OIZH (ICAO)
Two runways, the longest at 4280 metres, put a wide-body reference code behind every uplift AERO GOURMET boards here, so a full three-cabin load clears the apron on one movement rather than a split delivery. Inflight catering and in-flight catering at this station are boarded by hi-loader to galley height, with uplift staged airside from a sealed kitchen run before the aircraft is on stand.

Aircraft catering lead times at ZAH
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at OIZH / ZAH
The loading window at Zahedan runs on a fixed sequence rather than a clock started at the stand: sealing at the kitchen, escort across the apron, handover at the galley door. Ramp access at OIZH is held on badges we control end to end, so the convoy is never queued behind unrelated ground traffic. Every OIZH catering run is logged at both ends of that sequence, not estimated from the last one.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Zahedan sit screening, an escort convoy and apron traffic that shares the same two runways as every wide-body movement here. We plan each catering uplift against the busiest of those constraints rather than the average one, so a delayed escort or a diverted taxi route never becomes a delayed galley. Chain of custody runs from the seal applied at the kitchen door to the signature taken at the aircraft, with the temperature log closing that ZAH catering run at both ends rather than one. Galley catering handover is confirmed in writing before the cart leaves our custody, not after.
One sealed convoy, one signature, from our kitchen door to the galley at Zahedan.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for OIZH
Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Zahedan
Airport catering in Zahedan is produced under one roof rather than assembled from separate suppliers: hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line sit together so a multi-class order and a sealed government file move through the same building. That structure is what lets airport catering OIZH hold to HACCP procedure across every line at once, rather than auditing each output separately. Flight kitchen ZAH output is planned to the wide-body reference code this station carries, so a full three-cabin rotation is never split across two production runs.
The team behind government flight catering at Zahedan is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Security clearance is on file for each of them, access to the kitchen and the ramp is controlled by list rather than by badge alone, and household service standards are trained rather than briefed on the day. That same team carries the chain of custody paperwork that travels with a sealed uplift from the kitchen door to the aircraft.
Kosher inflight catering and dietary sets at Zahedan airport
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at ZAH
Menus at Zahedan are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed list, so a scheduled rotation and a VVIP movement do not share a plate specification by accident. Inflight catering Zahedan draws on the region's produce where the route allows it, working orchard fruit, dairy and fish into a seasonal frame rather than a fixed printed card. Every special set, from a household requirement to a documented allergen restriction, is labelled per passenger and per cabin before it leaves the kitchen. Halal, kosher and medical sets are produced on separate lines and sealed to the same standard as the main cabin service.
First & VVIP cabins
The sealed cart behind First and VVIP cabins at Zahedan carries a written plating specification rather than a standing menu, so caviar and à-la-carte service on request are filed against that order before the trolley leaves the kitchen. VIP flight catering OIZH is checked against that same file at handover, not against memory.
Business cabins
The galley cart fitted for business cabins at ZAH takes multi-choice hot service built to the aircraft's own galley dimensions, boarded in oven-ready trays rather than reheated on arrival. Crew meals Zahedan and crew meals OIZH are boxed separately, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals kept to a distinct roster count from the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
The protocol line at Zahedan produces household, religious and medical requirements documented per passenger rather than by cabin average, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering ZAH on this line is sealed separately before it joins the main convoy to the aircraft.

Stand-side catering uplift at Zahedan, Iran
Zahedan carries a wide-body aerodrome reference code across two runways, the longer running 4280 metres, so the traffic that files through this station ranges from scheduled sectors to charter and government movements on the same stands. A government delegation here is treated as a documentation problem before it is a cooking one, and a peak wave of wide-body departures is treated as a capacity problem solved by sequencing rather than by rushing a line.
Uplift moves from our flight kitchen to the aircraft by hi-loader, boarded directly to galley height rather than dropped at the foot of the stairs, with airside delivery timed against the two-runway traffic pattern rather than a fixed clock. Airline catering in Zahedan runs off one ops desk that tracks every stand assignment as it is issued, and aviation catering OIZH is loaded in the sequence the galleys are laid out rather than in the order it left the kitchen.
On every rotation the same coordinator signs for the load, the carts are sealed before they leave the kitchen, and airport catering Iran standards apply to that seal regardless of which cabin or which mission is on the stand that day. In-flight catering ZAH closes on one signature, not a shared one.

Airline and ad hoc catering at OIZH
Two runways and a wide-body reference code let Zahedan take scheduled and diverted wide-body traffic on the same stands, which is what ad hoc airline catering here is built around rather than a fixed roster. Outstation catering and technical stop catering run off the same duty desk as diversion catering, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation with tray sets held to one standard.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at ZAH
The same wide-body ramp that takes scheduled traffic at Zahedan also serves the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field, on the loading sequence our own branch runs for business aviation. Private jet catering Iran and FBO catering here follow the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, never a separate standard.

“We needed an airline catering partner at Zahedan (ZAH/OIZH) and the support was excellent. They coordinated locally, sent useful updates, and kept the final uplift aligned with our revised schedule. We would use the service again without hesitation. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Valentina — VIP Flight Operations Manager
“I arranged VIP flight catering in Zahedan for our departure from ZAH/OIZH. Everything arrived fresh, well presented, and easy for the cabin crew to organize before boarding. A very easy service to use at this station. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Leo — Charter Services Manager
“Our passenger profile required SPML at Zahedan (ZAH/OIZH), with several different dietary restrictions. The team confirmed the dietary details carefully and there was no confusion when the order arrived. That attention to detail makes a big difference onboard. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

We run VIP flight catering and government flight catering to a documented protocol file, held per passenger with cleared staff on every rotation.

The same sealed cart and hi-loader route used for airline uplift also reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on identical paperwork.
How is airline catering cost worked out for a rotation at ZAH?
ZAH quotations are built from cabin count, specification and loading window rather than a fixed price list, and our desk returns one after those details are confirmed.
Where is the lead time recorded for an order routed through OIZH?
The loading schedule filed with our ops desk records how far in advance an order must be placed, and how late a specification can still change before sealing.
