Aviation catering — Arar, Saudi Arabia
Hi-loader airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Arar (OERR / RAE)
RAE (IATA) · OERR (ICAO)
AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering at a wide-body reference code field where the aerodrome takes wide-body movements on a single runway, so a full three-cabin uplift can be planned without a smaller stand forcing a split load. In-flight catering here is boarded by hi-loader to galley height, straight from the kitchen door to the aircraft, with no tray set left standing on the ramp.

Aviation catering timeline, order to boarding, at Arar
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at Arar, Saudi Arabia
Ramp access at Arar is planned before the seal is broken, not negotiated once the truck is on the apron: our crews book the slot, our escort clears it, and the cart moves only when the stand is confirmed. What actually happens between the kitchen and the galley door is measured against that plan, not estimated after the fact, and a catering uplift here answers to a written sequence rather than a rough window. That sequence starts on the kitchen floor and ends at the aircraft door, with nothing improvised on the apron in between.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Arar sit screening, an escort and the ordinary traffic of a single-runway apron, and none of it is left to be worked out on the day: the route, the checkpoint and the handover point are fixed before the cart leaves the kitchen. We plan the galley catering run against the worst case on that route, not the average one, because a chain of custody that only holds on a quiet day is not a chain of custody at all. Temperature is logged when the load is sealed and logged again at handover, and the catering uplift closes on a signature at the galley, not on a delivery note left at the foot of the aircraft.
The convoy is the risk in this operation, never the food on it.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for Arar (RAE)
Airline food supplier crews cleared for OERR / RAE
The flight kitchen behind Arar runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to provision a single-runway field rated for wide-body movements. Airport catering at RAE is produced to HACCP standard from intake to seal, so a tray set leaving the cold larder carries the same documented cold chain as one leaving pastry. That single roof is what lets airport catering at OERR answer a multi-class order and a protocol order off the same production floor, on the same morning, without one queue holding up the other.
The team that handles government flight catering at Arar is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained to the household standards a royal or state movement is held to. That continuity is what lets a repeat mission be worked to a standing written specification rather than a fresh briefing each time. Every uplift they seal carries the same chain of custody, from the production floor to the signature at the aircraft door.
VIP flight catering menus for OERR departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Arar
Menus for Arar are written to the cabin and the mission first, then to the season: a VIP flight menu plated for First differs from a charter flight menu run at volume through Business and main cabin, and both are built off the same specification rather than improvised per rotation. Local sourcing draws on Saudi Arabia's own dairy, orchard fruit and regional produce where the route and the season allow it, worked into a menu cycle rather than a fixed card. Inflight catering here closes on the paperwork as much as the plate: every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed. That documentation travels with the load, not behind it, so the crew can match tray to passenger without opening a sealed unit to check.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Arar are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request rather than fixed to a single card. VIP flight catering here is signed off tray by tray before the cart is sealed, so the presentation the specification describes is what boards.
Business cabins
Business cabins at OERR run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boarded as tray sets rather than plated at the seat. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so a change in headcount does not touch the passenger load.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements at Arar are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line from the main cabin run and sealed before it ever leaves that line.

Flight catering airside delivery at Arar (RAE)
Arar takes scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body-rated runway, which means a delegation arriving alongside a charter rotation is a documentation problem before it is a capacity one: passenger counts and protocol files have to be matched to the right cart, not just the right stand. Aviation catering at OERR is planned around that mix rather than around a fixed peak, because the traffic here does not repeat in the same order twice.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader from a sealed cart, staged from our kitchen to the stand and boarded to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. In-flight catering at OERR runs on ramp access held on our own crew's badges, with an escort covering the route from the kitchen door to the loading point on every rotation. Inflight catering at Arar is planned stand by stand for that reason, not on a fixed schedule.
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, so that airport catering at Arar carries one named responsibility from kitchen to aircraft rather than several.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at OERR / RAE
01
Government and state flight catering at RAE
A wide-body reference code lets Arar take the aircraft class a head of state movement typically flies, and government flight catering here is built around that capability rather than around a fixed schedule. Protocol is documented per passenger, staff are security-cleared and listed on the access roster, and the uplift is sealed at the kitchen before it moves to catering at RAE for boarding.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Arar
On the 3050 metre runway at Arar, a private airliner — BBJ, ACJ or wide-body VIP — can be worked without the load split across two movements. Royal flight catering here is held to a written household specification kept on file between rotations, with VVIP requirements, halal sets and household dietary requests produced against that same standing document rather than a fresh brief each time.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at OERR
A single runway rated for wide-body traffic means a charter loading plan at Arar has to be sequenced around one movement at a time rather than spread across parallel stands. Charter flight catering at Arar for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions is a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, with charter flight catering at RAE staged in the order the galleys are laid out on a multi-leg rotation.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at RAE
A single wide-body-rated runway gives Arar the reach to take a scheduled widebody alongside an ad hoc diversion on the same day, and that mix is what this card is built for. Carriers running RAE as an outstation draw on outstation catering and ad hoc airline catering off one duty roster, with diversion catering and technical stop catering covered on the same terms, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Arar
The runway measures 3050 metres, and that reach lets business aviation share the same wide-body-rated field as scheduled and charter traffic rather than a separate strip. Private jet catering at Arar is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, run through our dedicated business aviation catering branch as FBO catering and business jet catering.

“Our team used the service at Arar (RAE/OERR) for state visit aircraft catering with strict timing and handling requirements. Special meals and crew items were clearly separated, and the aircraft-side handover was smooth. We would trust the team again for a similar movement. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★☆Charter operator
Anwar — Flight Operations Coordinator
“For a VIP rotation through Arar (RAE/OERR), we used the team for VIP airliner catering. The order was organized by service and passenger request, which saved us time before departure. I would happily use them again on a VIP rotation. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Luca — Airline Operations Manager
“We booked hajj charter catering at Arar (RAE/OERR) for a large group departure. Meal counts were accurate, halal requirements were clearly managed, and the delivery was organized for a quick uplift. We would use the service again for a similar charter. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Airline catering services FAQ for OERR
Outstation catering and access questions at OERR
What operations gets asked every week about Arar.
Ask operations directly →Do you take last minute airline catering orders for flights through Arar?
Yes, subject to lead time on the specification: how far in advance an order is placed decides how much of the menu can still change, and a same-day adjustment is worked against what production has already sealed.
Documented per passenger or held on file, how are dietary sets produced at Arar Airport?
There is a separate production line for halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes (SPML), each one documented per passenger before the cart is sealed.
RAE — do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
The same sealed cart and hi-loader-equivalent handling used for an airline uplift carries FBO catering to every operator on the field, on one cold chain and one set of paperwork.
At what point does airline catering cost get fixed for a rotation through OERR?
The sequence starts with cabin count and specification, then the loading window and any protocol requirement, and the desk returns a quotation once those are confirmed rather than publishing a fixed price list.
