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

Çanakkale on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at CKZ

Çanakkale Province sits where the Aegean meets the Dardanelles, and the local table follows the water. A private jet menu for Çanakkale starts with fish: sea bream, sea bass and red mullet, grilled or baked, with the lemon and herb sauce packed apart. Our inflight menu also draws on the region's olive oil, which ends up in mezze, stuffed vine leaves and a warm eggplant dish that survives the oven well.

Private jet food from this part of Turkey is built on tomatoes, sheep's cheese and the soft, sweet peaches the area is known for in summer. These local specialities travel as private jet platters: a mezze board served chilled, a fish plate finished in the oven. Gourmet inflight meals keep the Aegean character without a long galley procedure, and private jet snacks such as roasted nuts, dried figs and Turkish delight round the order out for Çanakkale.

Çanakkale's cooking is Aegean first, with the straits shaping what lands on the plate: anchovy, mussels, grilled octopus and herb-heavy salads. We turn these local specialities into a private jet menu that holds in a drawer and re-plates cleanly. Private jet food for a short Turkish stop is usually cold plates, a hot fish or lamb main with the sauce apart, and fruit from the local orchards.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Çanakkale (LTBH)

At Çanakkale, business jet catering usually starts with a corporate or charter party of four to eight heading for the peninsula. Corporate jet catering here is often a cold Aegean lunch and a hot fish main, with a private jet chef available for a bespoke menu. VIP flight catering for owners and charter flight catering for brokers follow the same brief: type, galley, guest list. Luxury inflight catering stays simple: fresh produce, olive oil, grilled fish, packed for the oven you actually have.

Special meals & dietary requirements: in-flight catering at Çanakkale Airport

Turkish cooking gives a strong head start on special meals: olive oil vegetable dishes make vegan plates simple, and halal is the default for lamb and chicken. Kosher meals are sealed and sourced separately, gluten free versions swap bulgur and bread for rice, and allergen free plates are cooked on their own board, with nuts and sesame the ingredients to watch in local dishes. Kids meals stay plain: grilled chicken, rice, fruit.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Çanakkale Airport (CKZ)

At LTBH, crew catering is simple to order: tell us the number of pilots and cabin crew and we pack accordingly. Crew meals and flight crew meals are on request, billed with the catering. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are kept apart from the guest food, in crew meal boxes with clear labels. Different meals for pilots are available so the captain and first officer never share a dish, and cabin crew meals can follow the same plan.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Çanakkale Airport (LTBH)

At LTBH the handover happens at the aircraft or the FBO, whichever the handling agent confirms. FBO catering and handling agent catering follow the same route: the van passes the gate, ground handling catering staff escort it, and the food goes aboard. The general aviation terminal is the meeting point, and catering delivery to the FBO is arranged with the tail and the slot.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Çanakkale Airport

On the LTBH apron, the type of aircraft sets how the galley gets loaded. Light and midsize jets take galley catering by hand through the door; larger cabins may need a high loader for airside catering delivery, arranged through your handling agent. We ask for the type and the galley layout so aircraft provisioning matches the oven and the drawer you have.

About the airportLTBH / CKZ

Aviation catering and business aviation at Çanakkale Airport (CKZ)

Çanakkale Airport serves Çanakkale Province in north-western Turkey, with a single terminal and limited commercial traffic. Airport catering for business jets is arranged through the FBO or your handling agent, and the FBO services on the field are modest but sufficient for light and midsize aircraft. General aviation use is steady rather than busy, and the field's elevation of 23 ft makes it an easy place to turn a jet.

Business aviation

As a business aviation hub, Çanakkale is minor but useful, a quiet alternative for owners avoiding bigger Turkish airports. Ground handling services are arranged through the agent for each tail. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for private jets come to the aircraft, aviation catering for business aviation catering requests is routine, and executive jet catering for visitors is common in summer. Diplomatic flight catering is occasional, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are ordered with the rest.

Customs & food import

Turkish customs require declaration of food entering the country, and meat and dairy products are tightly restricted. FBO services and ground handling services on the field present the paperwork for aircraft provisioning at Çanakkale, and the food travels sealed. Plan catering locally to keep the box clean for inspection on departure and arrival.

★★★★☆BUSINESS JET

“Despite a tight boarding window, we wanted the 10 guests at Çanakkale Airport to enjoy beef fillet with roasted potatoes without a complicated cabin service. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the sandwiches clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. There was enough information about the canapés to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the in-flight catering arrangements.”

Julia A. | FBO operator

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“My order at LTBH covered fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 11 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a changing departure schedule. The Galley Girls updated the side dishes in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. We checked the salads against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. I would discuss vip inflight catering with them again, especially when crew briefing needs careful coordination.”

“Breakfast was already sorted; at CKZ, the next request was roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables for 2 guests, with an evening cabin service to work around. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the crew provisions to be packed accordingly. This experience of private jet catering gave us a useful reference for managing written menu details on another departure. We left the side dishes stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

Çanakkale in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation or government flight into Çanakkale?+

Cost for an official flight starts with who is on board: heads of delegation, security, press. Each group may need a different menu, and a bespoke private jet chef menu is priced per dish. Seasonal fish, imported wine-free alternatives and sealed meals all shift the figure, so we quote after the brief.

What is the lead time for an empty-cabin repositioning flight out of Çanakkale?+

Empty-cabin flights need very little, usually a cold box for the pilots and some water. At LTBH the quiet slots mean the handover through your handling agent is rarely contested. Last-minute orders are handled, and local produce such as fruit and cheese is easy to find.

What do customs mean for catering ordered here for the return leg?+

Customs matter most on the way back: what leaves Turkey as provisioning may not be allowed to enter another country unopened. We ask for the arrival airport so the order avoids restricted items like raw meat or fresh cheese. A sealed, labelled box handled by your agent keeps the inspection short.

Can you bring food from home through Turkish customs into Çanakkale?+

Customs in Turkey look closely at where food comes from, and bringing your own can lead to confiscation. Çanakkale's small terminal means fewer staff, but the same rules apply. If you want something particular from home, tell us and we try to source an equivalent locally.

Is catering part of a charter when the crew is waiting on the ground at Çanakkale?+

Charter agreements rarely include catering, and Çanakkale is no exception. Waiting on the ground for guests changes what the crew wants, usually something hot and filling, but it is still a separate order. We deliver to the aircraft through your handling agent.
