Aviation catering — Hanak, Saudi Arabia
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Hanak (OERS / RSI)
RSI (IATA) · OERS (ICAO)
With one wide-body-rated runway of 3,700 metres, Hanak clears the aircraft this station's inflight catering is built to serve, from scheduled turnarounds to a diverted wide-body needing an unscheduled uplift. In-flight catering here moves from a sealed kitchen to the galley door by hi-loader, boarded direct to the aircraft rather than staged at the foot of the stand.

Catering uplift timing at Hanak airport
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at RSI
Ramp access at Hanak is the variable this section measures, not a promise: the sealed cart leaves our kitchen, crosses the apron and reaches the galley door on one timed run. The timeline below shows the minutes that run counts, stage by stage, rather than a lead time we quote in advance. Every uplift at this station carries the same sequence, whatever the mission on the stand that day.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at OERS sit screening, an escort through the airside gate and whatever apron traffic the runway's single movement lane is carrying that hour. We plan the galley catering run against the worst of those three, not the average, so a delay on any one of them does not touch the departure. The chain of custody stays with one coordinator from seal to signature, and the catering uplift is logged twice: once when the cart is sealed at the kitchen, once when it is opened at the aircraft.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen door to the aircraft's signature.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving Hanak (RSI)
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for OERS
The flight kitchen behind Hanak runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, all held to the same HACCP standard from intake to seal. Airport catering in Hanak is planned around the station's single wide-body-rated runway, which concentrates every rotation onto one movement lane and makes the kitchen's own sequencing, rather than the ramp, the variable that sets the loading order. Airport catering OERS and the flight kitchen RSI answer to the same specification whether the uplift is a scheduled turnaround or an unscheduled diversion.
The team that handles government flight catering at this kitchen is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned per aircraft. Security clearance sits on file for each of them, they are named on the airside access list, and they are trained to the household standards a royal or state movement requires before the seal is ever broken. That same crew carries the paperwork travelling with a sealed uplift from the kitchen door to the aircraft, whatever cabin count the rotation carries.
VIP flight catering menus for Hanak, Saudi Arabia departures
VVIP catering to a written specification at Hanak airport
Menus at Hanak are written to the cabin and the mission, not printed from one fixed card: a scheduled turnaround, a state delegation and a wide-body charter each take a different structure off the same kitchen. Inflight catering here draws on Saudi Arabia's own produce where the season allows it, working dates, dairy and Red Sea fish into courses built for tray or plated service rather than naming a dish in advance. Inflight catering in Hanak runs the same seasonal adjustment through both the main cabin tray set and the forward-cabin plated course, so the calendar shifts the menu, not the standard behind it. Every dietary and religious set carried on that structure is documented per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed, so the label on the tray matches the record held at the kitchen.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Hanak take VIP flight catering plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a set card. Presentation is filed against that standing order so a repeat movement through RSI receives the same course, course for course.
Business cabins
Business cabins at OERS take multi-choice hot service built to the cabin specification and boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the aircraft's own galley. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel in the same run, sealed apart from the passenger trays and boxed to the working roster carried at RSI.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Hanak, household, religious and medical alike, are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed. Halal and kosher sets, together with the full range of IATA special meal codes, are produced on a separate line at OERS and closed out before that line ever meets the main inflight catering run.

Flight catering airside delivery at Hanak
Hanak carries a mixed traffic profile across its single wide-body-rated runway, so a scheduled turnaround, a government delegation and an unscheduled diversion can all be working the same stand inside one day. That mix turns catering into three separate problems at once: a delegation is a documentation load, a peak rotation is a capacity load, and a repeat carrier is a consistency load, and the station's single movement lane means none of the three can be solved by spreading them across parallel stands.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by hi-loader, boarded direct to galley height rather than staged at the foot of the stand, with ramp access held on our own badges through the airside gate. Airline catering at OERS is planned stand by stand rather than terminal by terminal, since the wide-body reference code governs a single position at a time. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here run off one ops desk regardless of which segment is boarding, and aviation catering at RSI keeps the same coordinator on the ramp from seal to signature.
Airport catering across Saudi Arabia's Hanak field commits to one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts logged at both ends, and a signed handover at the aircraft door.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at OERS
01
Government and state flight catering at Hanak
OERS clears delegations and official movements through the same single wide-body stand every other rotation uses, so a state visit shares the ramp sequence rather than a separate position. Government flight catering at this station documents the protocol file per passenger, assigns security-cleared staff to the movement, and seals the uplift before it leaves the kitchen, whatever head of state aircraft is on the stand that day.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at OERS
Hanak's single wide-body stand takes a private airliner, BBJ, ACJ or wide-body VIP configuration, on the same ramp sequence as a scheduled carrier rather than a separate apron. Royal flight catering at RSI is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced against that same record on request, so a repeat rotation receives an identical course set each time.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at RSI
A single wide-body-rated runway means every charter movement through Hanak, ACMI, wet-lease or group, shares one stand sequence with the rest of the day's traffic, so the loading order is set by arrival, not by segment. Charter flight catering at OERS covers wet-lease and ACMI operators, group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering staged this way keeps a multi-leg rotation on the same galley order at every stop.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Hanak
With a single wide-body-rated runway carrying every movement through RSI, an unscheduled diversion lands on the same stand a scheduled carrier was due to use, so ad hoc airline catering here is built around one shared position rather than a spare gate. Outstation catering and diversion catering in Hanak run off the same duty roster as a technical stop, with technical stop catering and crew meals in Hanak boarded on one sealed run regardless of notice, and crew meals OERS follow the identical duty-roster sequence whatever the mission on the stand that hour.

Private jet and FBO catering at OERS
The same wide-body-rated runway that clears scheduled and charter traffic through Hanak also carries the business aviation movements worked from the field's GA terminal and the FBOs on site. Private jet catering at this station is run by our dedicated branch, delivered to the ramp handler serving those positions, with FBO catering held to the same cold chain and the same paperwork as a full airline uplift, business aviation catering and business jet catering included.

“I asked for airline catering IATA standards at Hanak (RSI/OERS) because we had limited time to reset the galley. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Good attention to the operational side of catering. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Bruno — Ground Services Manager
“We used the team for outstation at Hanak (RSI/OERS) during a tight turnaround. The uplift was organized around our revised departure and reached the aircraft without delaying the turn. We appreciated how easy the coordination was. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Natalia — Private Flight Coordinator
“For our business jet at Hanak (RSI/OERS), I arranged business jet catering with a few passenger-specific requests. The team was responsive to a late change and the final order still arrived looking polished. Reliable, responsive, and easy to work with. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
