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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Yazd (AZD)

Yazd Province is a desert, brick-and-wind-tower country, and its food travels well because much of it was made for caravans. A private jet menu for Yazd leans on saffron, rosewater, pistachio and dried fruit, with an inflight menu that keeps rice and stews separate from garnish. Private jet food from here is sturdy: slow-cooked meat, flatbread and herbs that survive a galley oven. The local specialities are best shown as private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks, so each guest gets a small, clearly named portion in the drawer.

What Yazd does best is sweets and slow cooking, and both suit a galley. The private jet menu can open with qottab, baqlava and sohan-style brittle as private jet snacks, then move to saffron rice and stewed lamb as gourmet inflight meals. Private jet food in Yazd Province is dry-climate food: cured, sugared, spiced, rarely fragile. We list local specialities by how they ride in a drawer, with the inflight menu written around what finishes in a small oven and what is served chilled on private jet platters.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Shahid Sadooghi Airport (OIYY)

A tail landing at OIYY in summer meets desert air before anyone opens the door, so the first question for private jet catering in Yazd is how cold dishes ride the apron. We pack in-flight catering for the galley of your type, with local saffron, dates and sweets from the old city and sauces kept apart. Business aviation catering at Yazd is commissioned like anywhere else: aviation catering for passengers, executive jet catering for owner trips, diplomatic flight catering for official arrivals, and cabin crew meals boxed separately.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Shahid Sadooghi Airport (AZD)

A corporate jet into Yazd usually flies light: a few seats, one small oven, an owner who knows what he likes. For corporate jet catering and business jet catering at OIYY we start from that galley and write the menu around saffron, lamb and pistachio sweets. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same logic, with luxury inflight catering touches only where the drawer and oven can carry them. A private jet chef drafts the bespoke menu, and the food is ordered and invoiced as its own item, apart from the aircraft.

Diplomatic and state visit aviation catering in Yazd (OIYY)

Government flight catering at Yazd runs through protocol, not preference. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are cleared before cooking begins, with a named team and discreet handover. For state visit aircraft catering, traceability and sealed packing are standard.

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Shahid Sadooghi Airport (AZD)

Yazd cooking leans on rice, lamb, nuts and sweets, so the places an allergen hides are nuts in pastry, wheat in flatbread and dairy in syrup. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are handled as a procedure with a separate board and box, and special meals and kids meals are packed marked by seat number.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Shahid Sadooghi Airport

On the desert apron at OIYY the hand-off happens at the FBO or the general aviation terminal, and your handling agent opens the gate. FBO catering for Yazd is agreed against your parking position, so catering delivery to the aircraft goes straight to the cabin door without a second stop. Ground handling catering rules on the apron decide who may carry what, and handling agent catering is arranged around your slot. Tell us the tail and which door the crew will open, and we pack accordingly.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Shahid Sadooghi Airport (OIYY)

The type of aircraft decides how the galley is loaded at Yazd: a light jet takes its galley catering through the main door, a larger cabin may need a high loader for airside catering delivery. Tell us the tail and the galley, and aircraft provisioning is planned from there.

About the airportOIYY / AZD

About Shahid Sadooghi Airport (AZD): airport catering for business aviation

OIYY is Yazd's gateway: a desert airfield at 4,054 ft with general aviation access and basic FBO services. Airport catering here is handled through ground handling services and the general aviation terminal.

Business aviation

Yazd draws heritage and desert travel, so business aviation hub traffic is light but steady. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered like anywhere else; aviation catering for owner flights, business aviation catering for corporate trips, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are all handled on request.

Customs & food import

Iran restricts the import of food and bans alcohol and pork products, so menus at Yazd are planned to comply. Customs inspection is handled through your handling agent, and a local order avoids most import paperwork.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“What impressed me at Shahid Sadooghi Airport was how a request for chicken skewers with a couscous salad was handled despite a revised passenger count. The Galley Girls kept the fruit plates separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. It made a difference to have the salads ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. This experience of in-flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing written menu details on another departure.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“For 10 passengers departing from OIYY, the agreed menu was chicken skewers with a couscous salad; our main consideration was a tight boarding window. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the breakfast portions to be packed accordingly. This experience of vip inflight catering gave us a useful reference for managing packing arrangement on another departure. Our colleague could take over the starters without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Keeping the galley organised at AZD meant planning fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 3 guests with two separate meal services in mind. Our brief for private jet catering was met with a sensible plan for storage requirements. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the breakfast portions had been grouped. We could account for the starters before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”

What crews ask before YazdAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a summer departure from Yazd?+

Ask about private jet catering cost and the honest answer starts with what your passengers will actually eat. Yazd's departures cluster in spring and autumn, and orders from those windows tend toward fuller menus, quoted from the seat plan.

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

Galley size sets the lead time in practice: a small oven means fewer hot courses, a bigger galley allows more. Order as the schedule allows, and last-minute orders are handled at OIYY.

What are the customs rules for inflight catering in Iran?+

Food-import rules at Yazd mean anything you carry in is inspected, and certain items are excluded outright. Ordering locally avoids the problem: we supply a menu that fits the rules and goes straight to the aircraft.

Can you bring food from home onto the aircraft at Yazd, or do you recommend local pistachios and sweets?+

Bringing food is possible, though it adds a customs step. Yazd's own sweets, nuts and saffron are a better fit for the galley and need no declaration from you.

Is catering part of a charter into Yazd?+

No, charter and catering are two contracts. We invoice food separately, and the slot and turnaround length tell us how to pack it.
