Catering to your aircraft in Gaziantep.
Corporate and charter traffic at LTAJ is mostly small to midsize cabins, so the galley decides the menu. We pack Gaziantep specialities by seat, with the oven dishes marked and the cold ones in the drawer.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Gaziantep Province is the home of Turkish pistachio and of baklava made with it, and a private jet menu for Gaziantep Oğuzeli starts there. An inflight menu here is built from local specialities: thin-layered baklava with green Antep pistachio, katmer for a late breakfast, lahmacun cut small for the cabin, and kebab that keeps its smoke when re-plated. Private jet food from this region leans on herbs, pomegranate molasses, sumac and walnut, so each dish travels as its own element and is assembled only when the seatbelt sign goes off.
For GZT, the Gaziantep private jet menu is a short list of dishes that travel well. Local specialities from the province include beyran soup, yuvalama, and ayran, and each is packed apart from its garnish. The inflight menu for Gaziantep should respect the galley: pastries and cold mezze ride in the drawer, meat goes to the oven only when the aircraft has one, and private jet food from this area keeps its sauces in separate pots. Gaziantep is the name guests recognise, so we use it on the card.

Gaziantep Oğuzeli (LTAJ) is a 2,315-foot field in the Antep pistachio belt, and the food leaving the city for a jet reflects it: baklava, lahmacun, spiced kebab, fresh herbs. Private jet catering here is built from those local products, then packed so a cabin crew meals tray and a guest tray each survive the galley you actually have. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for GZT run through your handling agent, and aviation catering for business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering follows the same plane-side procedure.
Business jet catering and corporate jet catering at Gaziantep usually start with the cabin size and the number of covers. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same brief, and luxury inflight catering here means Antep pistachio pastry and a well-cooked kebab. A private jet chef can write a bespoke menu around the guest list and the galley, whether the party is two executives or ten.
For government flight catering into Gaziantep, the protocol brief comes first. Head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are prepared by a small named team, sealed and handed over at the aircraft with discretion.
Gaziantep cooking leans heavily on pistachio, walnut, sesame and dairy, so allergens are the first thing we check here, not the last. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are built from the diet card and the seat plan: each is cooked on its own board, sealed, and marked by seat number, not name.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
On request, crew meals at GZT are packed for the crew room and the flight deck. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately, crew catering suits a long turnaround, cockpit meals are easy to eat in the seat, crew meal boxes are marked CREW, and different meals for pilots can be arranged.
At LTAJ, FBO catering is a handover at the aircraft. Ground handling catering is arranged with your agent, handling agent catering depends on a security pass and an escort, and catering delivery to the FBO and the general aviation terminal ends at the aircraft steps.
Aircraft size decides how we load at LTAJ. A light or midsize jet takes its catering through the door by hand; a larger cabin may need a high loader at the stand. We confirm the type with your handling agent so galley catering is staged correctly and airside catering delivery meets the aircraft rather than the other way round. Aircraft provisioning for a long-range cabin is packed in stacked, labelled boxes in galley order.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Gaziantep Oğuzeli is the business aviation hub for Gaziantep Province in southeastern Turkey: a regional international field at 2,315 ft where general aviation traffic runs alongside scheduled flights. Airport catering for a private aircraft is arranged through the general aviation side, with FBO services and ground handling services keeping the apron calm and the turnaround orderly.
As a business aviation hub for the Antep trade belt, LTAJ sees steady industrial and commercial travel rather than a peak season, and that rhythm shapes the orders. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here are written for small and midsize cabins; aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the cabin size and the covers. Executive jet catering suits the visiting delegations, diplomatic flight catering follows protocol, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are added on request.
Turkish customs control imported food, meat and dairy above all, so catering for an aircraft leaving Gaziantep is best sourced locally. Fresh Antep produce clears as ordinary provisioning, which keeps the paperwork light for a business aviation hub that handles few formalities of its own.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Choosing poached fish with steamed rice for 4 people at GZT was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with an evening cabin service. We changed the quantities of starters, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. We checked the side dishes against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. The order made business aviation catering feel manageable because the portion planning had been considered beforehand.”
“The 3 passenger portions of a cold lunch with cheese and fruit were the easy part; managing a late menu amendment at Gaziantep Oğuzeli International Airport took more planning. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the crew provisions to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the snack boxes properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. Our brief for jet catering was met with a sensible plan for crew briefing.”
“For 5 passengers departing from LTAJ, the agreed menu was grilled salmon with a lemon dressing; our main consideration was different crew meal preferences. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of side dishes with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. I appreciated the emphasis on catering handover throughout the VIP flight catering arrangements. We also checked the sauces before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”
Think of cost as a list: Antep baklava, kebab, mezze, crew boxes, each priced separately. A last-minute passenger change at GZT means one more line, not a new quote. We confirm the total with you before the aircraft is closed.
Lead time for private jet catering in Gaziantep is set by your handling agent's access process. Once the agent has the delivery details, the order moves; last-minute orders are handled, and Antep specialities are always cooked fresh.
Turkish customs control what food comes into the country, and what you take out of Gaziantep is simply local and fresh. Winter fog or snow can move a departure at LTAJ, so we keep the order flexible and re-time delivery with your agent.
Can you bring food at GZT? Within Turkish customs rules, yes, but few dishes beat Antep pistachio pastry made the same week. We pack it dry and cold so it survives the galley better than anything imported.
Is catering part of a charter into LTAJ? No: it is a separate order. Special meal requests go on it, each marked by seat number and handled apart from the other trays.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
