Aviation catering — Khasab, Oman
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Khasab (OOKB / KHS)
KHS (IATA) · OOKB (ICAO)
A single wide-body reference code governs every stand here, which means one loading plan covers scheduled, charter and government movements without a second standard. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering off that plan, boarding wide-body cabins by hi-loader to galley height, airside, with uplift sequenced to each rotation rather than to the terminal clock.

Airport catering order window at OOKB
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Khasab
Ramp access at KHS decides how a catering uplift is sequenced, because the wide-body reference code that governs the apron leaves one route from our kitchen to the galley door. We hold that route to a fixed order rather than a fixed clock: seal, convoy, clear the checkpoint, board. Every rotation through Khasab is worked to that same sequence, whatever the mission behind it.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Khasab sit a security checkpoint, apron traffic and the hi-loader approach, and the chain of custody on a catering uplift is planned against the worst of those three, not the average. A single galley door on the wide-body reference code means the convoy has one approach to hold, so the escort and the screening are timed to that approach rather than to a general window. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at the galley catering handover, with a signature closing the load at both ends of the route.
One sealed route, one signature, from our kitchen to the galley door.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for Khasab airport
Airline food supplier crews cleared for KHS
The flight kitchen at KHS is built around the single wide-body reference code that governs the airfield, so hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line sit under one roof rather than split across outstations. Airport catering here runs as one sequenced output rather than several parallel kitchens, which keeps a multi-class load consistent from the first tray to the last. That same production line carries the HACCP standard the whole airport catering operation is audited against, uplift after uplift.
The team that handles government flight catering at Khasab is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster drawn in on the day. Security clearance is held on file for each of them, they sit on a fixed access list, and they are trained to the household service standards a royal or state movement expects. That continuity is what lets a single wide-body stand carry protocol work without a second, separate crew being built for it.
VIP flight catering menus for Khasab (KHS) departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at OOKB
OOKB's cabin menu range is built to the mission first and the season second: a scheduled rotation, a charter group or a state movement each carry a different service pattern before a single dish is chosen. Inflight catering here draws on the produce of the wider Gulf region in general terms — dairy, fish and orchard fruit worked into the tray set rather than named as a single dish. Every menu is written against a specification held on file, so a repeat rotation through Khasab sees the same standard rather than a new brief each time. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin before the tray leaves the kitchen.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at OOKB are plated to a written specification, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a single set menu. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so the presentation is repeatable across rotations, not improvised on the day.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Khasab run on 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 in Khasab, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, alongside the passenger tray sets.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at KHS are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher production and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Flight catering airside delivery at OOKB / KHS
Khasab handles scheduled, charter and government traffic across one wide-body reference code, which turns a delegation into a documentation task and a charter wave into a capacity task on the same single stand. That reference code is also why airport catering at Khasab is planned stand by stand rather than terminal by terminal: there is one apron pattern to work around, not several.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader from our kitchen to the galley door, with ramp access held on our own cleared badges rather than borrowed for the day. Airline catering in Oman, inflight catering at Khasab, in-flight catering at OOKB and aviation catering at KHS all run off that same route and the same ops desk, whatever the segment behind the booking.
One coordinator carries the rotation from seal to signature, with sealed carts and a signed handover closing every load at Khasab.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at KHS
01
Government and state flight catering at Khasab
Our kitchen works to the 2,500 metre runway as the fixed constraint on every arrival, and government flight catering at OOKB is built inside that same constraint rather than around a separate terminal. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff are security-cleared against a standing access list, and the uplift for a head of state movement is sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Khasab
The wide-body reference code held at Khasab carries a household specification of its own, kept on file between movements rather than rebuilt for each one. Royal flight catering at KHS covers private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VVIP configurations — with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request, catering at OOKB held to the royal household standard on repeat rotations.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Khasab
A wide-body aircraft on an ACMI rotation is boarded here against the same reference code that governs the scheduled traffic, so a group charter carries no separate handling standard. Charter flight catering in Oman covers wet-lease operators and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, charter flight catering at KHS staged in galley order for multi-leg patterns.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Khasab
A single 2,500 metre runway, and every arrival that uses it moves through the one wide-body reference code that sets how a rotation is sequenced on the ground. Ad hoc airline catering at OOKB covers carriers running this station as an outstation, with outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering worked off one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg pattern, while crew meals at Khasab travel on the same load.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Khasab
On the same wide-body reference code that governs the airfield, business aviation is worked through the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field rather than a separate ramp. Private jet catering at OOKB is delivered there by our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all drawing on the one kitchen.

“Our sports movement through Khasab (KHS/OOKB) required tour operator charter catering on a tight schedule. The order included different meal types and snacks, but the cabin crew could identify everything immediately. We would book them again for another team movement. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Agnes — Operations Controller
“We arranged military charter catering at Khasab (KHS/OOKB) for a non-routine passenger movement. Communication with operations was efficient and the order was adapted quickly when our timings moved. Strong support for a demanding operation. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Mauro — Ground Services Manager
“Our freighter crew needed freighter crew meals at Khasab (KHS/OOKB) during a short turnaround. They respected the unusual timing and kept communication direct with our ops team. We would use them again for another cargo sector. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Crew meals, lead times and access at Khasab (KHS)
What operations gets asked every week about Khasab.
Ask operations directly →Does OOKB support private jet catering delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal?
Every movement on the field, whether airline, charter or business aviation, is worked from the same kitchen, so private jet catering at Khasab reaches the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field on the same cold chain as an airline uplift. FBO catering here is sealed and logged exactly as a wide-body tray set is.
Are VIP, VVIP and government flights catered here, and under what protocol?
The coordinator assigned to a movement holds the file from booking to signature, so VIP flight catering and government flight catering at Khasab run under one named protocol rather than a shared roster. Security clearance, an access list and a sealed handover apply to every royal or state rotation.
Who documents halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes at Khasab Airport?
For every passenger on the manifest, halal, kosher and the full set of SPML codes are logged against the booking before the tray is produced. Special meals are built on a separate line and sealed apart from the standard tray set.
At what point does an order have to be placed for KHS, and how late can the specification change?
The loading window is set first, then the menu and any special meal codes are confirmed against it, and a specification can still move up to that window without resetting the loading plan. Lead time depends on the cabin count and the mission, so the ops desk confirms how far in advance a given rotation needs to book.
