Your private jet chef covering Mehrabad International Airport

Kian Rahimi cooks every government and delegation order that leaves THR, working to the confidentiality protocol the manifest requires. Volumes scale to the brief — a principal and two aides, or a delegation of thirty — and the handover is timed to the security sequence your handler runs. He answers directly: you send the passenger count, the galley type, and any dietary restrictions; he returns the menu, the delivery window, and the allergen list for every dish. No intermediary, no cascaded brief.

Background

Altitude and pressurized air flatten aroma and mute salt perception. Rahimi compensates by building layered acidity into rice preparations, adjusting saffron concentration upward, and timing the plating of herb garnishes to preserve volatile oils until service. Stews and braises are finished with sharper notes than ground service would call for—dried lime, sumac, verjuice—so that flavour arrives intact when the guest tastes. Each tray is assembled to survive the cabin environment without losing definition.

Lead time and order protocol for THR departures

Mehrabad sees peak departures mid-morning and early evening; your order is timed against the published slot list and the handler's fuelling sequence. To order private jet catering for a departure from THR, allow eighteen hours' lead time for a full menu, less where the brief is simpler. A private jet catering quote is returned within two hours of your message, listing every dish, every allergen, and the delivery window. Late changes are absorbed where the production schedule allows; crews are briefed on oven capacity and refrigeration limits per aircraft type before the door closes.

Jet catering Tehran

PPR restrictions at THR often require early coordination with handling, which means your inflight catering timeline starts well before wheels-up. The kitchen preparing your order operates with dedicated cold rooms and separate prep posts for pâtisserie, garde-manger, and hot production. Every dish is cooked to align with your departure slot, plated, sealed, and moved through documented cold-chain control from pass to transport. Allergen protocols are marked on every label, and same-day capacity allows adjustments when schedules shift. Business aviation catering for Mehrabad International Airport is built around theConstraintProcedure you're working within—not against it.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Mehrabad International Airport

Every order for THR is written to your brief: breakfast trays that hold through a morning departure, cold plates for a long daytime leg, mains that reheat in the galley oven you nominate, desserts portioned to the seat count. Crew meals travel on the same delivery. Every item carries literal allergen labelling — dairy, gluten, tree nuts, shellfish — so cabin crew can answer passengers directly. Packaging is chosen to fit the refrigeration and oven space available on the aircraft type you declare.

Saffron rice with barberries

Holds texture under refrigeration and reheats evenly in compact galleys on medium-haul flights.

Pomegranate and walnut stew

Prepared in advance, chilled for transport, and suitable for warming on departure day.

Fresh pistachios and dried mulberries

Sourced seasonally, packed for ambient storage, and ideal for light service or extended flights.

Airside delivery

Airside delivery at Mehrabad International Airport

If the slot moves, the delivery moves with it. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering for THR are packed in a dedicated facility, loaded into temperature-controlled vehicles, and delivered airside by badged drivers. Handover is at the FBO you nominate or ramp-side at the aircraft door, at the time you set. For wide-body aircraft, high loader access is confirmed at the time of order where available, serving galley doors at height. Government and head-of-state flights receive the same airside protocol: confidential manifests, delegation volumes handled without disclosure, handover secured to your specification.

Seasonal produce sourced near Tehran
Inflight catering — Iran

Flight catering prepared for departures from THR

You no longer build a private jet menu weeks ahead. Orders for THR are taken as the slot firms, timed to the produce bought that week and the galley capacity of the aircraft. What arrives cold holds through a long leg; what reheats is plated to fit the oven you nominate. Your inflight menu reflects the season — what the market gives this month, portion sizes set to the passenger count you confirm. Delivery is coordinated with your FBO: badged access, temperature-controlled vehicles, handover at the aircraft door or the desk you nominate, against the sequence your handler runs.
