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

Private jet catering with local specialities from Gaziemir

The İzmir Province table is Aegean rather than Anatolian: olive oil used as a main ingredient, wild greens, herbs, seafood, and a lot of vegetables served at room temperature. That suits a private jet menu well, because most of it travels chilled and finishes on the plate with no cooking on board.

For an inflight menu from Gaziemir we lean on local specialities that hold their shape in a drawer. Zeytinyağlı dishes (vegetables braised in olive oil and served cold), stuffed vine leaves, thick yoghurt with herbs and a fig or mastic dessert all do. Private jet food from this region reads as fresh because it is built for the cold route, not rescued by reheating.

Boyoz, the İzmir pastry, and gevrek, the local sesame ring, are the breakfast pieces passengers ask about first. For private jet platters we pair them with cheese from the Aegean, olives and seasonal fruit. Gourmet inflight meals are the hot course, finished in the aircraft oven; private jet snacks are the figs, nuts and small pastries kept in reach.

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

The produce around İzmir decides what is good in a private jet cabin: sea bass, bulgur, artichokes in season, thick Aegean yoghurt. Private jet catering at Adnan Menderes (LTBJ/ADB) starts from those ingredients and from the type on your ramp slot. In-flight catering for a leisure charter to the coast is light and cold; for a corporate rotation it is more structured. Executive jet catering, aviation catering and cabin crew meals are all ordered through one call or email, 24/7.

Special meals

Special meals for every diet: in-flight catering at Adnan Menderes International Airport

Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are handled as a procedure, not a label. İzmir cooking relies on sesame, nuts, yoghurt and wheat in places that are easy to miss, so special meals from Adnan Menderes are cooked on separate boards and sealed per seat. Kids meals, vegan menus and halal requests are common on Aegean rotations, and we ask for the full restriction list when the order is placed.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Gaziemir (ADB)

Whoever flies out of Gaziemir eats between sectors, so crew meals are built to be eaten fast. Flight crew meals can be a grilled chicken and rice plate; pilot meals are packed as two different dishes when the operator asks. Crew catering is ordered on request and invoiced like any other order, cockpit meals are kept simple, crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, different meals for pilots are available, and cabin crew meals are separate.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Adnan Menderes International Airport

FBO catering at Adnan Menderes is a handover, not a delivery run: food is passed to the FBO, taken to the aircraft by your handling agent and loaded on your slot. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with the general aviation terminal and ground handling catering follows airside rules; handling agent catering means one contact for access and for the aircraft.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Adnan Menderes International Airport (ADB)

At Adnan Menderes the aircraft type decides how food reaches the cabin. A light jet takes a few boxes and one drawer; a larger airliner-based VIP aircraft needs galley catering built to its trolley and carts, with airside catering delivery coordinated with the handling agent at the apron. Aircraft provisioning for those types is planned from the galley layout, door height and whether a high loader is needed, so we ask for the tail and type before anything is packed.

About the airportLTBJ / ADB

General aviation and airport catering at Adnan Menderes International Airport (ADB)

Adnan Menderes International is the main airport for İzmir and the Aegean coast, and airport catering here supports both scheduled and business traffic. General aviation is handled in a dedicated terminal, FBO services and ground handling services keep corporate and charter flights moving, and the field works as a business aviation hub for the western Turkish coast.

Business aviation

The mix at Adnan Menderes shifts by month: events and summer holidays on the coast, corporate trips in spring and autumn. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are written for each flight, aviation catering and business aviation catering use the same packing standards, executive jet catering fits the smaller cabins, diplomatic flight catering goes through the protocol office, and cabin crew meals are part of the same request.

Customs & food import

Turkey applies its own rules on food import and on animal products, so we use local prepared food and recommend not bringing raw meat or dairy from abroad. Leftover food on arrival elsewhere follows that country's rules, which is why we size orders to the sectors flown.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“The 3 passenger portions of fresh fruit and breakfast pastries were the easy part; managing a tight boarding window at Adnan Menderes International Airport took more planning. With private jet catering menu, careful attention to portion planning matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls prepared the crew provisions for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. Keeping the fruit plates aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

Chloe F. | Chief flight attendant

Global 7500

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Food presentation mattered to our 8 guests, but several individual meal preferences also had to be considered when organising grilled salmon with a lemon dressing at LTBJ. The Galley Girls labelled the crew provisions in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. Keeping the salads identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the private aviation catering arrangements.”

Gabriel O. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Getting prawn salad and small fruit plates ready for 6 guests at ADB required an order that accounted for several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls grouped the sandwiches by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The desserts were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes. I would discuss business jet catering with them again, especially when storage requirements needs careful coordination.”

Gaziemir in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Adnan Menderes?+

The local product moves the number most. Figs, olives and mezze keep it moderate; seafood and lamb raise it. Ask us to price two menu versions side by side and compare them for the same headcount.

What is the lead time for special meals at LTBJ?+

Kids meals, vegan menus and halal requests at Adnan Menderes follow the same path: restriction first, dish second. Lead time is shorter when the brief is clear, and we do take late changes.

What are the customs rules for catering on a long leg out of Adnan Menderes?+

A long leg raises one customs question: what happens to food that is not eaten. At Adnan Menderes the safest approach is to order for the sectors flown, so little is left to declare on arrival abroad.

Can you bring food on board at Adnan Menderes?+

Bringing your own food is possible in principle, but customs and food safety rules apply and nothing here replaces a cold chain. For an early slot we recommend ordering through us so the galley is stocked before engine start.

Is catering part of a charter into Gaziemir?+

The charter price does not include meals at LTBJ. If you want food on board, you order it with us, and we size it to the aircraft and galley you will actually use.
