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 Zahedan for your inflight catering

Zahedan sits in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, in Iran's far southeast, and the table here is a different one from Tehran or Shiraz. A private jet menu for Zahedan leans on charcoal grilling, long-grain rice and flatbread baked fresh the same day, with dates and nuts for the snack drawer. Local specialities in this region include Baluchi-style grilled lamb and chicken with heavy spicing, saffron and barberry rice, and stewed dishes that reheat well in a small galley oven.

For an inflight menu, that means private jet food that survives a drawer: kabab koobideh and joojeh packed dry with the tomato apart, chelo rice sealed separately, sangak or lavash wrapped flat. Private jet platters of dates, pistachios, almonds and fresh herbs travel without any fuss and work as private jet snacks for the cabin. Gourmet inflight meals here are less about plating tricks and more about getting the Zahedan basics right: rice that is not wet, meat that is not dry, bread that is warm when you open it.

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

Zahedan International sits at 4,564 ft in the dry eastern edge of Sistan and Baluchestan, and that elevation and dry air decide what a tray looks like once it is in the drawer. Private jet catering at OIZH is built around that: grilled meats that hold, rice that stays loose, bread that does not go leathery. For inflight catering and in-flight catering on this field, we cook and pack for the galley you actually have, and hand over at the FBO. Aviation catering here also covers business aviation catering for operators crossing Iran's east, executive jet catering for short corporate hops, and diplomatic flight catering for protocol movements. Cabin crew meals ride in the same order, clearly marked.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Zahedan International Airport (ZAH)

A business jet catering brief at Zahedan is usually small and clear: four to eight on board, a short stay, a local menu. Corporate jet catering here favours grilled lamb or chicken, saffron rice and fresh flatbread, packed to match the galley. For VIP flight catering and charter flight catering, our private jet chef can shape a bespoke menu around dietary cards. Luxury inflight catering at OIZH means getting simple things right: dry kabab, sealed rice, herbs apart.

Head of state flight catering follows the same line: menu approved first, then cooked, sealed and handed over. VIP aviation catering for delegations uses neutral packaging and no outward labelling. State visit aircraft catering at OIZH keeps one point of contact from order to ramp.

Special meals

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Zahedan International Airport (OIZH)

Special meals at Zahedan International follow the kitchen's reality, not a menu line. Eastern Iran cooks with nuts, dairy and wheat flatbread in most dishes, so allergen free and gluten free orders are packed on a separate board and sealed in their own box. Halal is the default for local meat; kosher meals are brought in pre-sealed and handled to the aircraft unopened. Vegan plates lean on rice, lentils, herbs and vegetable stews, and kids meals use plain rice, grilled chicken and bread without spice.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Zahedan International Airport (ZAH)

On a turnaround at Zahedan, the crew eats last and fast. Crew meals here are a separate order, billed as such. We pack flight crew meals as boxed grilled chicken and rice, pilot meals as two different plates, and cockpit meals in sealed boxes that survive the jumpseat. Crew catering and crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, and different meals for pilots are available if your operator policy asks for it.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Zahedan International Airport

FBO catering at Zahedan is handed over at the general aviation terminal or to your handling agent, who opens the right gate for the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is booked against your slot and tail. Ground handling catering at OIZH works best when the handler knows the apron position; handling agent catering runs through that same person.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Zahedan International Airport

What the aircraft is decides how boxes reach the cabin at OIZH, from a hand-carried tray to a loader at the door. A light jet takes a few boxes by hand through the cabin door, while a larger cabin or a wide-body charter may need a high loader pulled alongside. For galley catering at OIZH, we ask the type and tail so the packing list matches the galley: how many ovens, how much drawer space, whether a trolley fits. Airside catering delivery runs through the handling agent, who clears the ramp access. Aircraft provisioning at ZAH is planned around the apron position the FBO gives you.

About the airportOIZH / ZAH

About Zahedan International Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Zahedan International is the main airport of Sistan and Baluchestan Province. Airport catering at OIZH works with a modest general aviation set-up: a few FBO services, a handling agent and ground handling services sufficient for private and government traffic.

Business aviation

As a business aviation hub for the Iranian southeast, Zahedan International sees executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering more than scheduled traffic. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are ordered ahead around the weather. Aviation catering and business aviation catering use the same local ingredients, and cabin crew meals are boxed and labelled apart.

Customs & food import

Customs on food at Zahedan follow Iranian rules: alcohol and pork products are prohibited, and imported meat and dairy need clearance. In practice, locally prepared catering avoids most of the paperwork, and we deliver it sealed to the aircraft.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Food presentation mattered to our 2 guests, but different crew meal preferences also had to be considered when organising mini sandwiches and individual desserts at OIZH. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the canapés readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. The order made private jet catering services feel manageable because the written menu details had been considered beforehand. That left time to check the sandwiches properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“We kept the passenger brief simple at ZAH: prawn salad and small fruit plates for 12 guests, organised with limited fridge space in mind. I want a private jet catering company to understand cabin service sequence, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls labelled the starters in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. We could distinguish the canapés at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“What impressed me at Zahedan International Airport was how a request for mini sandwiches and individual desserts was handled despite a revised passenger count. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience. The Galley Girls prepared the sandwiches for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. We could finish the sauces as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”

The Zahedan International questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a return leg ordered at Zahedan?+

A typical question from crews: do you charge extra to order the way back from here? No, you simply order it as a second line. How much does private jet catering cost for that return? That comes from the menu you pick, whether kebab with rice or simple platters, plus the number of seats. We quote both legs together if you send them together.

What is the lead time for catering at Zahedan when the weather window is tight?+

A shifting weather window makes lead time less about a number and more about what is ordered. Simple local menus, grilled meat, rice and flatbread, can be organised around the new slot, and last-minute orders are handled. Kosher, allergen free or imported items are the ones to flag first.

Do customs rules at Zahedan depend on the aircraft and its galley?+

The question we hear is whether a bigger galley changes customs. It does not change the rule, but it changes the order: more drawers mean more sealed boxes, more ovens mean more hot items. Customs for local catering at Zahedan are simple; imported items face Iran's food import rules.

Can you bring food to Zahedan under Iran's customs and import rules?+

Crews ask if they can carry food to Zahedan. The answer depends on the food: dry items may pass, meat and dairy often do not. Our approach is to supply it locally and deliver to the aircraft, so import rules are not your problem.

Is catering part of a charter when flying into Zahedan, and what local product goes on the menu?+

No, a charter does not carry catering with it. At Zahedan, you place a separate order and it is invoiced like the rest. If you want something local on the plate, saffron and barberry rice is the dish that most reads as eastern Iran.
