Aviation catering — Seiyun, Yemen
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at Seiyun (OYSY / GXF)
GXF (IATA) · OYSY (ICAO)
Because the wide-body reference code sets the terms of every loading plan here, the sequence has to be fixed before the aircraft is on stand, not while it sits there. That reference code lets us plan hi-loader boarding to galley height for wide-body movements through Seiyun, and inflight catering, in-flight catering and the uplift itself run from one ops desk rather than several.

Inflight catering lead times at GXF
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at OYSY / GXF
The wide-body reference code held at Seiyun sets the sequence: every catering uplift is planned to reach the galley door in the order the cabins are loaded, not the order it leaves the kitchen. Ramp access is arranged before the aircraft is on stand, so the convoy crosses the apron on a fixed path rather than a improvised one. That path, not the food itself, is what the loading window at OYSY actually measures.
Between the flight kitchen and the stand at Seiyun sit screening, an escort and apron traffic, and the galley catering plan is built against the worst case among the three rather than the average one. Each cart is sealed at the kitchen and the seal is checked again at the aircraft, with a temperature log kept at both ends of the run. A single named coordinator carries the catering uplift from departure to handover and signs it over at the galley door, so the chain of custody has one name on it, not several.
One seal, one signature, one coordinator: the load is accounted for door to door.
Airline food supplier for OYSY rotations
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Seiyun
The flight kitchen that provisions Seiyun runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, and that combination is what lets airport catering here move from a written order to a sealed cart without handing the work between separate premises. HACCP governs the production floor from intake to loading, and airport catering in Yemen is planned against that same standard rather than a lighter one for smaller movements. Every tray set leaves the kitchen already built to the cabin and the mission it is going to.
The team behind government flight catering at Seiyun is the same named group on every rotation, not a rotating pool drawn in as volume requires. Each member holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to household service standards as well as to airline ones. That consistency is what lets a repeat state or royal movement through OYSY be handled without briefing a new crew each time.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Seiyun airport
Commercial aviation catering written per cabin at GXF
Menus at Seiyun are written to the cabin, to the mission and to the season rather than to a single fixed standard applied everywhere. Where local sourcing is possible, the specification draws on regional produce in general terms, from dairy to orchard fruit, without fixing the plan to a single supplier. Inflight catering at OYSY closes with fully documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, each one labelled per passenger and per cabin before it is sealed. That documentation travels with the tray set, not separately from it.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Seiyun are plated to a written specification rather than assembled on the day, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request against the standing order. VIP flight catering here is filed and checked before the cart is sealed, so the presentation on the day matches the specification on file.
Business cabins
Business cabins at GXF run on multi-choice hot service built to oven-ready formats sized to the aircraft's own galley, boxed as tray sets rather than plated individually. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so cabin crew meals never share a tray with the passenger service.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Seiyun are documented per passenger rather than assumed from the booking class, covering household, religious and medical needs alongside the full set of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Yemen produced to these codes is built on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, keeping halal and kosher sets apart from the general service.

Airside airport catering at Seiyun, Yemen
Seiyun is rated to a wide-body aerodrome reference code on a single runway, and that combination shapes every catering plan around one stand rather than a bank of them: a delegation becomes a documentation exercise, and a peak movement becomes a sequencing one rather than a capacity one. Traffic through OYSY is planned rotation by rotation rather than against a fixed daily pattern.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader from our kitchen to the galley door, with our own crew on the ramp for the full run rather than handing the cart to a general ground agent partway. Airport catering at Seiyun is planned stand by stand, and airline catering in Yemen more broadly runs off that same single loading plan rather than a separate one for each carrier.
What we commit to on this station is the same wherever it is flown: one coordinator named for the movement, carts sealed at the kitchen, and a signed handover at the aircraft, with aviation catering in Seiyun and in-flight catering at OYSY both run to that one commitment.
Airline, charter and VVIP catering at Seiyun (GXF)
01
Government and state flight catering at Seiyun
We work the 3000 m runway at Seiyun as the limit that keeps this station to narrow and mid-size wide-body movements, and government flight catering here is built around that same constraint rather than around unlimited aircraft size. Delegations and official movements travel with a protocol file documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the ramp, and the uplift sealed before it ever leaves the kitchen, ready for a head of state movement as readily as a smaller official one.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at OYSY
A 3000 m runway at Seiyun sets the working envelope for every private airliner using the field, and it holds a written household specification on file between movements rather than rebuilding one each time. Royal flight catering at this station covers BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations alike, with halal sets and other royal household requirements produced against that same specification on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at GXF
A wide-body movement operating under charter, ACMI or wet-lease arrangements can be boarded here because Seiyun holds a wide-body aerodrome reference code rather than a narrower one. Charter flight catering at GXF then covers group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering at Seiyun is staged in the order the galleys are laid out on board.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Seiyun
The 3000 m runway at Seiyun, short enough to rule out the largest wide-body types, still lets scheduled and diverted narrow and mid-size wide-body traffic operate through the field on the reference code held here. Carriers running this station as an outstation draw on ad hoc airline catering for one-off requirements, on outstation catering for a standing weekly order, on diversion catering when a rotation lands unplanned, and on technical stop catering across a multi-leg pattern, with crew meals and pilot meals boxed to the same roster throughout Yemen.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at OYSY
On the same wide-body-rated field that serves the scheduled and charter traffic through Seiyun, business aviation is handled by a dedicated branch rather than folded into the main rotation. Private jet catering in Seiyun reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift.

“Our sports movement through Seiyun (GXF/OYSY) required tour operator charter catering on a tight schedule. Final numbers changed late and the team adjusted without making the process difficult. A good partner for sports charter operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Irene — Freighter Operations Manager
“Our flight through Seiyun (GXF/OYSY) required evacuation flight catering with limited preparation time. They kept the menu simple, respected the special requirements, and delivered exactly when the aircraft was ready to receive it. Strong support for a demanding operation. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Abdullah — Airport Services Coordinator
“For a cargo sector from Seiyun (GXF/OYSY), we arranged freighter crew meals for the operating crew. The order was simple, filling, clearly labeled, and delivered in a format the crew could load without delay. We would use them again for another cargo sector. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Ask operations directly →Can you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights through Seiyun?
Yes, VIP flight catering and government flight catering both run here under a documented protocol, with a named coordinator and a sealed uplift from kitchen to stand.
What halal, kosher and special meal codes does Seiyun airport produce?
We produce halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes, each one recorded against SPML coding and labelled per passenger before it is sealed.

The hi-loader run from kitchen to galley door is planned once the specification is confirmed, and how far in advance that has to happen depends on the cabin count and the mission; last minute airline catering is still worked where the loading window allows it.
How do you reach private jet catering at OYSY?
OYSY traffic on the business aviation side is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, with FBO catering carried on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Do you publish an airline catering cost for Seiyun?
Yes, though only as a quotation rather than a fixed list: cabin count, specification and loading window at Seiyun are confirmed first, and the desk returns a price against them.
