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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Malatya (MLX)

Malatya Province is apricot country, and a private jet menu from LTAT leans on it: dried Malatya apricots cut into a cheese plate, fresh fruit in season, apricot compote served apart for the sweet course. Local specialities travel well in a galley when you know how each one finishes. Inflight menu items from Malatya Erhaç: lamb with bulgur pilav, which goes to the oven with the sauce in its own pot, and stuffed vine leaves, which stay chilled and are re-plated cold.

Private jet food from Malatya is honest and regional. Think of the apricot, the walnut, the lamb and the lentil soup of Malatya Province, adapted so nothing needs a stove on board. The inflight menu for Malatya Erhaç can include kaysı tatlısı style apricot desserts, a bulgur salad that stays chilled, and a lamb dish that finishes in the galley oven. These local specialities are the reason a private jet menu for Malatya reads differently from any other. Local specialities of Malatya, nothing generic.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Malatya Erhaç Airport (LTAT)

Apricot country, high and dry: that is Malatya Erhaç in July, when the trays ship from orchards and the cabin smells of the fruit. Private jet catering at MLX starts from what Malatya Province actually produces and what a galley can finish. Inflight catering here, and in-flight catering on the return leg, is written by former VIP flight attendants. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are handled as one order, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering included, with cabin crew meals marked CREW.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Malatya Erhaç Airport (MLX)

A business jet catering brief at Malatya Erhaç is usually a short one: four to eight seats, a morning or afternoon slot, a request for something that tastes like the region. Corporate jet catering here means an apricot and cheese board, a lamb main for the oven and a sweet course apart. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the season, and VIP flight catering for charter flight catering or luxury inflight catering follows the same method.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Malatya Erhaç Airport (MLX)

Official flights into Malatya need discretion more than spectacle. Our government flight catering uses a small named team, traceable ingredients and sealed trays marked by seat. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are cleared with the protocol office; VIP aviation catering for lesser delegations follows the same route.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Malatya Erhaç Airport (LTAT)

Dietary meals at Malatya Erhaç are a procedure written for the local kitchen: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals, plus kids meals, each sealed and numbered by seat. In Malatya Province the usual traps are wheat in the bulgur, nuts in the apricot desserts and dairy in the pilav, so we name them in the brief before anything is cooked. Halal is simple here; kosher needs a sealed supplier arrangement agreed beforehand.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Malatya Erhaç Airport

Whoever flies into Malatya will want to eat something local. Crew meals are a catalogue item, ordered on request and invoiced with the rest. Flight crew meals and cabin crew meals share the box format, pilot meals are packed for the flight deck, and cockpit meals can be two different dishes for captain and first officer. Crew catering is marked CREW, and crew meal boxes are separate from the guest trays. Different meals for pilots are never an extra question.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Malatya Erhaç Airport

FBO catering at Malatya Erhaç means the trays arrive where your crew expects them: the general aviation terminal or the handling agent's door. Catering delivery to the FBO follows the field's access rules, and ground handling catering is coordinated with your handling agent so the aircraft is reached at your slot. Give us the contact for handling agent catering and the tail number.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader delivery for jet catering at Malatya Erhaç Airport (MLX)

At LTAT, the aircraft in front of you settles how the galley gets loaded. On a light jet the trays go through the door by hand; on a larger cabin the handling agent may bring a high loader to the apron. Galley catering is packed to fit the aircraft's own drawers and ovens, and airside catering delivery follows the FBO's access rules. For aircraft provisioning on a larger type, give us the tail, the galley layout and the seat plan, and we pack carts that match.

About the airportLTAT / MLX

About Malatya Erhaç Airport (LTAT): aviation catering and general aviation

Malatya Erhaç serves a province known for apricots, a plateau field where general aviation shares the apron with scheduled traffic. Airport catering for business visitors is built around what Malatya produces, and FBO services and ground handling services decide where the trays are received. The field sits at 2,828 ft, so cold mornings and dry air are normal.

Business aviation

LTAT is a small business aviation hub for eastern Turkey, where general aviation, FBO services and ground handling services all meet at one terminal. Inflight catering for an executive jet catering request starts with the apricot, the walnut and the lamb. In-flight catering and aviation catering orders are handled the same way for every flight. Business aviation catering, diplomatic flight catering, crew meals and cabin crew meals all go on one invoice line by line.

Customs & food import

Turkish customs restrict imported meat and dairy, so catering prepared in the country avoids the question. For general aviation arrivals, the handling agent at LTAT handles clearance, and ground handling services follow the same field rules; confirm current rules with them before departure. Waste from the galley follows local rules too, and FBO services can advise on where it goes.

★★★★☆BUSINESS JET

“The cabin briefing at LTAT included 3 passenger meals, a request for vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection, and instructions addressing limited fridge space. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the fruit plates to arrive in separate meal boxes. I could hand the sauces to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. For our team, the strongest part of their airport catering was how they handled portion planning.”

Patrick P. | FBO operator

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Choosing a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides for 6 people at MLX was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a family lunch request. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of breakfast portions with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. There was enough information about the crew provisions to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. With inflight catering, careful attention to storage requirements matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Alejandro U. | Chief flight attendant

Gulfstream G700

★★★★☆ROYAL FLIGHT

“It was the packing plan I cared about at Malatya Erhaç Airport, with 7 servings of a charcuterie board and fresh bread and a short ground stop to consider. The Galley Girls grouped the starters by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. The galley preparation stood out more than any sales pitch about in-flight catering. We left the sauces stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”

Ordering for LTAT, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Malatya Erhaç?+

Think of the order as a plate list, not a flat fee. For a private jet catering order at MLX, a cold board of apricots, walnuts and cheese sits at the lower end, while a full hot service with a sweet course sits at the upper end. A long turnaround lets you ask for more courses; a short one favours items that go from drawer to plate. We price the menu you pick.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at LTAT?+

For a head-of-delegation or government flight into MLX, the order starts with a conversation: who flies, what they eat, who receives the trays. Last-minute orders are handled, and we answer by phone or email day and night. The earlier the brief, the cleaner the handover.

What do customs say about inflight catering in Turkey?+

Customs in Turkey treat food arriving on board with caution. A repositioning leg with no passengers still carries the same rules for what stays in the galley. Local catering avoids imported meat and dairy entirely. If you land at Malatya Erhaç empty to pick up guests, order here and keep the galley clean of anything that would have to be declared.

Can you bring food on board at Malatya Erhaç?+

Yes, passengers sometimes carry their own boxes. The better answer for a return leg is to order from Malatya: dried apricots, walnuts and a cold lamb plate travel well, and they come handed over at the aircraft already packed. Your own cooler may meet a customs officer first.

Is catering part of a charter into Malatya?+

No. The charter covers the aircraft and the crew, not the food, so is catering part of a charter into LTAT? Never. You order catering separately at Malatya Erhaç and it is invoiced separately. Because Turkey restricts imported meat and dairy, ordering locally also keeps customs out of it.
