Aviation catering — Sir Bani Yas, United Arab Emirates
Airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Sir Bani Yas (OMBY / XSB)
XSB (IATA) · OMBY (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code assigned to Sir Bani Yas sets the ramp for full three-cabin uplift, and our kitchen boards it by hi-loader straight to galley height rather than at the foot of the aircraft. That single fact governs everything on this page: inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering here move on wide-body volume with airside handling built for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet departures.

Aircraft catering handover at the galley door, Sir Bani Yas
Sealed at our kitchen and driven under ramp access straight to the aircraft, the load at Sir Bani Yas moves as one tracked unit rather than a delivery left at the foot of the steps. Every cart that crosses the apron is logged against the same catering uplift record, from seal to signature. On the wide-body stand at OMBY, the hi-loader closes that gap by reaching galley height directly, which is the whole difference between boarding and dropping off.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at Sir Bani Yas sit screening, an escort vehicle and apron traffic crossing the same taxi lanes, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst of the three rather than the best case. Chain of custody is kept unbroken from the seal at the kitchen door to the signature at the galley: nobody outside the loading crew touches the carts in between. Temperatures are logged at sealing and logged again at handover, and the same paperwork that opens the galley catering run closes it, so a delayed rotation never travels on an unverified load.
One coordinator, one sealed load, one signature: nothing crosses the apron unrecorded.
Crew meals and pilot meals for Sir Bani Yas airport departures
Airline food supplier crews cleared for XSB
Sealed output from our flight kitchen feeds the wide-body stand at Sir Bani Yas from hot production, pastry and a cold larder run under one roof, with a protocol line kept separate for household and government work. Airport catering at XSB is built around that single site rather than a network of subcontracted kitchens, which keeps one HACCP standard governing every tray from oven to cart. The same production plans the cold chain into the loading window, so airport catering at OMBY never depends on a second facility to close a rotation.
The team assigned to government flight catering at Sir Bani Yas is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in for the day. Each member carries a security clearance on file, sits on the fixed access list for the protocol line, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement requires. That continuity is what lets a sealed uplift travel with a documented chain of custody rather than a fresh briefing each time.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Sir Bani Yas (XSB)
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at OMBY
Menus at Sir Bani Yas are built to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, drawing on the country's produce where it fits the specification: dairy, fish and orchard fruit sourced to season rather than named by dish. From passenger meal boxes through to a full VVIP set, inflight catering here runs on a written specification rather than a set menu card, so a single fleet can carry three different service levels on the same rotation. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, not applied as a blanket substitution. That documentation travels sealed with the load, so the labelling on the cart matches the labelling on the tray it opens.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Sir Bani Yas are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the operator, so the same presentation repeats across a multi-leg rotation.
Business cabins
Business cabins at OMBY receive multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft, boxed as tray sets ready to load. Crew meals travel on the same rotation: cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster, not carved out of the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at Sir Bani Yas, covering halal and kosher sets plus the full range of IATA special meal codes. Produced on a separate protocol line and sealed before it leaves that line, inflight catering here keeps every dietary set traceable back to the passenger it was built for.

Flight catering airside delivery at OMBY / XSB
With one runway and a wide-body reference code, Sir Bani Yas takes scheduled, charter and government traffic through a single stand rather than a bank of gates, which turns every arrival into a documentation and sequencing exercise rather than a volume one. A delegation on that stand means protocol paperwork checked before the cart moves; a charter rotation means the loading sheet driving the sequence instead.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the ramp under airside delivery, escorted across the apron to the wide-body stand and boarded by hi-loader directly to galley height. Airline catering at OMBY and aviation catering at Sir Bani Yas run off the same ops desk, with inflight catering in United Arab Emirates and airport catering in United Arab Emirates both planned stand by stand rather than gate by gate. In-flight catering at XSB carries no separate track for ad hoc work: it is scheduled against the same board.
One coordinator holds the rotation from seal to signature, with sealed carts and a signed handover closing every load before departure.
Government, royal and charter flight catering at XSB
01
Government and state flight catering at OMBY
A private airliner cleared for a head of state movement finds the same wide-body reference code and hi-loader access here as any scheduled operator, which is what lets government flight catering at Sir Bani Yas run without a special-case ramp plan. Delegations and official movements are handled with a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the load, and the uplift sealed at catering at OMBY before it ever leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at XSB
On the wide-body stand at Sir Bani Yas, a 2826 m runway supports the private airliners this segment flies: BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations, boarded to the same galley height as any scheduled aircraft. Royal flight catering here is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal sets and other household dietary requirements produced on request rather than improvised on the day.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at Sir Bani Yas
Sequencing three full cabins through a single wide-body stand is the constraint every charter rotation at Sir Bani Yas is built around, since the reference code here allows no second stand to spread the load across. Charter flight catering serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions, with charter flight catering at XSB counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out.

Airline and ad hoc catering at OMBY
A wide-body reference code governs the single stand at Sir Bani Yas, and it sets what an outstation carrier can plan against here. Ad hoc airline catering covers carriers running this station as an outstation, with outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering worked off one duty roster, AOG included; crew meals in Sir Bani Yas and crew meals in United Arab Emirates travel on the same rotation, and ad hoc catering at XSB extends across a multi-leg pattern without a second booking.

Private jet and FBO catering at XSB
The runway at Sir Bani Yas measures 2826 metres, which keeps business aviation traffic working the same apron as the wide-body stand rather than a separate strip. Private jet catering at OMBY reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal directly, moving on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, through our dedicated business aviation branch: FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering all run off that one desk.

“We requested galley ready meals at Sir Bani Yas (XSB/OMBY) and the packaging worked very well onboard. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. The crew appreciated how easy it was to load. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★☆Scheduled airline
Sara — Turnaround Coordinator
“Our operation through Sir Bani Yas (XSB/OMBY) included a tech stop request at short notice. They understood the operational language and did not need every change explained twice. A very useful service for ad hoc flying. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Grace — VIP Account Manager
“We used the team for business jet catering at Sir Bani Yas (XSB/OMBY) on a VIP trip. Everything was easy to check and load, and the passenger requests were prepared exactly as ordered. Exactly what I want from a private aviation caterer. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

The same named coordinator and cleared crew run every VIP flight catering and government flight catering rotation here, with protocol paperwork checked before a cart is sealed.
Does XSB offer private jet catering delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal?

Where can an operator find airline catering cost for a rotation through OMBY?
A signed specification sheet is what a quotation is built from, covering cabin count, menu tier and the loading window, and the desk returns pricing against that document rather than a published list.
At what point does Sir Bani Yas need the final specification for an order to still change?
Booking the loading window is the first step in the sequence, and the cabin count and menu detail can still be revised after that slot is confirmed, right up to the cutoff the desk sets for that rotation.

On every order routed through the protocol line, halal, kosher and the full SPML range are produced on a separate run and labelled per passenger before sealing.
When does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at XSB?
Once the hi-loader is cleared onto the stand, the sealed cart is raised directly to galley height, which is airside delivery without a ground transfer at the foot of the aircraft.
