Catering to your aircraft in Bandar Abbas.
At 22 ft above the Gulf, OIKB asks one thing of a menu: that it survives heat. We pack Hormozgan seafood and rice dishes for the galley you have, handed over at your FBO.
We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Bandar Abbas is Hormozgan's port city, and the private jet menu here follows the water. Gulf prawns, hamour and sultan ibrahim fish come to the inflight menu as the local specialities, with the sauce packed apart so a fillet survives the climb. Private jet food from this coast leans on saffron rice, dates, pomegranate and sour citrus: private jet platters of grilled fish with herbs, cold mezze, and gourmet inflight meals finished by you in the oven. Private jet snacks stay simple: dried fruit, pistachios, date sweets. Heat is the constraint across Hormozgan Province, so cold items travel chilled and are re-plated cold.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Bandar Abbas International sits at 22 ft on the Strait of Hormuz coast, where heat and humidity decide what survives a drawer. Private jet catering at OIKB/BND is cooked for that climate: chilled where it must be, sauce apart where it should be. For inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering alike, the brief starts with the galley you actually have. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow the same rule, and diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are planned with the handling agent.
Business jet catering at Bandar Abbas usually means a few passengers, a light or midsize jet, and a galley with a small oven. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here are built around Gulf fish and saffron rice, with charter flight catering kept simple for the turnaround. Luxury inflight catering is written by our private jet chef as a bespoke menu around your seat plan, cold items chilled and hot items sauce apart.
At OIKB, state visit aircraft catering is a procedure, not a label: the menu is approved, the team is named, trays are sealed and marked by seat. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering all pass through the same quiet process, discretion included.
Special meals at Bandar Abbas start with the local kitchen: seafood, nuts and sesame turn up in sauces and rice toppings, so allergen free means a separate board and a separate box. Halal is the local default, kosher and vegan are planned ahead with sealed packaging, gluten free works well around rice dishes, and kids meals are simple plates marked by seat.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
On request, crew meals for a Bandar Abbas departure sit on the same invoice as the guest trays. Flight crew meals are packed in boxes, pilot meals can differ between captain and first officer, and different meals for pilots are written on the order. Crew catering and cockpit meals are made to eat one-handed, crew meal boxes are marked CREW, and cabin crew meals can be added when the attendant eats on the ground.
FBO catering at OIKB ends at the aircraft door: the trays are passed over at the FBO apron with your handling agent standing by, and the order is written around your slot, not ours. Catering delivery to the FBO is booked through the general aviation terminal on the Bandar Abbas ramp. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering follow whichever stand you are given that day.
At Bandar Abbas the aircraft type decides the loading: a light jet takes trays by hand through the door, while a large-cabin or VIP widebody may need a high loader at the apron. For galley catering we ask for the type and the galley layout first. Airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning for a bigger cabin is split into trolleys and boxes to match the galley.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Bandar Abbas International serves Hormozgan Province as an airport catering point on the Strait of Hormuz, with a general aviation ramp used by business and government flights. Your handling agent books the FBO services and the ground handling services for the ramp.
As a business aviation hub, Bandar Abbas sees inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders for charter, executive and government movements. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering favour seafood and cold mezze in summer heat, diplomatic flight catering goes through protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip.
Iran restricts the import and carriage of certain foods, and the arrival country adds its own rules on meat, dairy and fresh produce. Sealed, listed catering handled through the handling agent keeps customs simple; plan ahead for pork, alcohol and unsealed animal products.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Packing yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 4 passengers at OIKB needed careful thought, especially given a small galley worktop. With business jet catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the main courses into shallow trays that were easy to handle. The salads were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation.”
“The 10 passenger portions of poached fish with steamed rice were the easy part; managing an evening cabin service at BND took more planning. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the fruit plates, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The sandwiches were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the business aviation catering arrangements.”
“We kept the passenger brief simple at Bandar Abbas International Airport: yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 8 guests, organised with a small galley worktop in mind. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the desserts and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. We could account for the fruit plates before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. I appreciated the emphasis on portion planning throughout the jet catering arrangements.”
It depends on who sits where: principals, advance team and crew each get different trays on a government flight. At Bandar Abbas, a fish-led menu costs more than vegetarian mezze, and the quote lists each tray so nothing surprises you at invoicing.
A passenger count that moves is normal here. Send the revised number to the same contact, 24/7, and the order is rewritten. Last-minute orders are handled; items like fresh hamour depend on what the market has that day.
Catering that leaves Bandar Abbas travels sealed and is declared through your handling agent. On a long leg with two services, we box each service separately so leftovers can be binned cleanly under the destination's food rules.
An empty cabin needs no galley service. Bringing your own food is possible; ordering crew meals from us means they are labelled CREW, sealed and easy to explain to customs.
Catering sits outside a private jet charter at OIKB; you order it and it is invoiced as its own line. Your handling agent controls airside access, so the delivery is booked with them.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
