Private jet catering at Qeshm International Airport (OIKQ / GSM), Qeshm(Dayrestan)

Catering to your aircraft in Qeshm(Dayrestan).

Qeshm sits at 45 ft on an island in the Strait of Hormuz, and the cabin usually wants Gulf seafood, dates and warm bread. We cook and pack it for the galley you actually have, and hand it over at the aircraft.

Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

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.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Local specialities from Qeshm(Dayrestan) for your inflight catering

Hormozgan is a fishing coast, and the private jet menu for Qeshm follows the boats. Hamour and kingfish are grilled or baked with tomato and spice, then packed so the skin does not steam soft in the drawer. Our inflight menu leans on ghalieh mahi, the tamarind and herb fish stew of the south, sent with the rice in a separate tray and the sauce in its own pot.

Private jet food from this coast is generous with sour and spice: tamarind, dried lime, coriander, chilli. Local specialities such as sweet date halva and island bread travel well, and we cut them per passenger. For a Qeshm departure in Hormozgan Province, we write the private jet menu around what the galley can hold and what the cabin will actually finish.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Qeshm International Airport (OIKQ)

Hot, humid air off the Gulf is the first thing the galley meets at Qeshm International, and it decides what travels well. Private jet catering for OIKQ is built around that: grilled fish held apart from its sauce, dates and nuts for the long sit, rice in sealed trays. Our inflight catering is packed by former flight attendants, and our in-flight catering for GSM leaves the final re-plating to you. Aviation catering here means business aviation catering for operators crossing the island, executive jet catering for owners on the Hormuz run, and diplomatic flight catering when protocol asks for it. Cabin crew meals are ordered with the trip and invoiced with it.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Qeshm International Airport for VIP flights

Business jet catering at Qeshm is shaped by who flies in: traders on the free-zone circuit, owners visiting the Hormuz coast, and corporate jet catering for teams surveying the island. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around Gulf seafood and saffron rice, tailored to the galley and the seat plan. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering arrive packed and labelled, and luxury inflight catering here means well-handled fish rather than excess.

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Qeshm International Airport (OIKQ)

Government flight catering at Qeshm is organised around protocol rather than menu. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering use named staff, sealed trays and a confirmed handover at the aircraft. VIP aviation catering for officials follows the same discretion, with menus cleared through the delegation's office before cooking.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Qeshm International Airport (OIKQ)

Qeshm cooking is built on fish, rice and dates, which makes some diets easy and others careful. Halal is the default on the island; kosher needs sealed trays arranged in advance. For vegan, gluten free and allergen free orders we work from the seafood, sesame and nut load of each local dish and keep those boards and pots apart, with the diet card on the lid and the seat number marked. Kids meals and other special meals are written into the same plan.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Qeshm International Airport

Crew meals for a Qeshm turn are ordered with the trip and invoiced like the rest of the order, on request only. Flight crew meals and pilot meals come in boxes that eat well from a jumpseat: rice and grilled fish, a cold plate for the heat of the apron, fruit and water. Cockpit meals are packed apart from the cabin trays, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator wants captain and first officer on separate dishes. Crew catering at OIKQ is written for a short ground stop, and crew meal boxes carry a CREW label so nobody takes a passenger tray.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Qeshm International Airport (GSM)

FBO catering at Qeshm arrives at the general aviation terminal in a sealed van and is handed to the crew or the handling agent at the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged against the slot, and ground handling catering follows the apron access rules. Handling agent catering is coordinated so the van, the pass and the driver are cleared before arrival.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Qeshm International Airport (GSM)

Aircraft at Qeshm range from light jets to larger VIP types, and the galley decides the loading. Galley catering starts from the type and the oven count: a light jet takes a few drawers by hand, a larger cabin may need a high loader at the door. Airside catering delivery runs through the handling agent, who clears the van onto the apron. Aircraft provisioning is agreed against the slot, the door height and the seat plan, not at the gate.

About the airportOIKQ / GSM

About Qeshm International Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Qeshm International is the main airport of Qeshm island, sitting 45 ft above sea level in Hormozgan Province. Airport catering here serves a free-zone economy, and general aviation traffic is mostly private and charter. FBO services and ground handling services are limited but functional, and the airport acts as a small business aviation hub for the Hormuz coast.

Business aviation

Qeshm's inflight catering and in-flight catering are written for a Gulf climate: chilled in summer, hot rice and stews in winter. Aviation catering and business aviation catering reach the aircraft through the handling agent. Executive jet catering suits owners on short regional hops, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request.

Customs & food import

Iran regulates imported food closely, and customs at Qeshm works through the handling agent. We source locally, avoid carrying raw products across borders, and confirm each delivery with the agent before the aircraft lands. For the order it means fish, rice and dates from the region, not imported specialities.

★★★★★CHARTER

“Having 9 guests request a cold lunch with cheese and fruit at OIKQ meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for two separate meal services. I appreciated the emphasis on written menu details throughout the private jet catering menu arrangements. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the fruit plates into sealed meal containers that were easy to handle. We placed the main courses in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Menu approval at GSM covered yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 6 guests, leaving us to organise the service around different crew meal preferences. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the main courses before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. We could account for the desserts before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. Our brief for private aviation catering was met with a sensible plan for packing arrangement.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Breakfast was already sorted; at Qeshm International Airport, the next request was mini sandwiches and individual desserts for 4 guests, with a tight boarding window to work around. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the sandwiches clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. It was useful to see the sauces listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. The order made business jet catering feel manageable because the written menu details had been considered beforehand.”

What crews ask before Qeshm(Dayrestan)Asked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Qeshm International?+

Think in services, not in a flat price. A long leg with two services on board needs a starter, a main and a dessert, each packed to survive the drawer; a short flight needs far less. Private jet catering at Qeshm International is quoted after we see the seat plan and the menu you want.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Qeshm?+

Ask when the product is the question. Gulf shrimp and hamour are usually available, so a repositioning flight with an empty cabin rarely needs notice beyond the slot. The lead time stretches when you want sealed kosher dishes or a custom menu. Last-minute orders are handled.

What about customs when catering a flight into Qeshm?+

At OIKQ, catering customs is mostly about who opens the gate. The handling agent holds airside access, so we send them the vehicle and the order. Iran restricts several imported foods, which is why our menus use local fish, rice and dates.

Can you bring food on board yourself at Qeshm?+

Yes, but check customs and the operator's policy first. A night departure or an early morning slot leaves no time to fix a shortfall, and Qeshm has few options at that hour. We cook for the aircraft and mark every tray.

Is catering part of a charter into Qeshm?+

Catering is a separate order at Qeshm, billed apart from the charter. A return leg ordered from here for the way back is common: we pack both legs, label them, and hand over the first set at the aircraft.
