Aviation catering — Antalya, Turkey
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Antalya (LTAI / AYT)
AYT (IATA) · LTAI (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code held here means a loading plan built around galley height, not curb height, so multi-class rotations board without a stand-side compromise. Inflight catering at LTAI and in-flight catering at AYT move by hi-loader straight to the cabin door, with uplift staged from the flight kitchen to the apron on one sealed run.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aircraft catering lead times at AYT
Aviation catering from sealed cart to galley door at LTAI / AYT
Every uplift at AYT is sealed at the kitchen before it moves, then held under ramp access rather than handed over at the aircraft steps. The catering uplift is escorted onto the apron and boarded by hi-loader straight to galley height, with the run timed against the stand assignment rather than a fixed clock. What the window measures is the interval between that seal and the signature that closes the load at the aircraft.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Antalya sit screening, escort and the ordinary traffic of a working apron, and the galley catering plan is built against the worst of those, not the best case. The chain of custody runs on one named responsibility from the moment the cart is sealed to the moment the crew signs for it at the galley, with no handoff in between that is not logged. Temperatures are read and recorded at sealing and again at handover, so the catering uplift arrives with its own written proof rather than a verbal assurance.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley, nothing unlogged between them.
Airline food supplier for LTAI rotations
Cleared crews behind government flight catering at Antalya
Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell sit under one roof at the flight kitchen behind AYT, run to a HACCP standard that governs every tray leaving it. Airport catering in Antalya draws on that single site rather than a scattered set of subcontracted lines, so a multi-class rotation is built and checked in one place before it moves. Airport catering at LTAI and the flight kitchen at AYT operate as the same facility, which keeps the cold chain unbroken between production and the apron.
The team behind government flight catering at Antalya is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rotating roster assembled per booking. Each member carries security clearance on file and sits on the access list before a delegation movement is even confirmed, trained to household standards on the paperwork that has to travel with a sealed uplift. That continuity is what protocol officers check first when catering at LTAI is asked to cover a repeat mission.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Antalya airport
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at AYT
Menus at AYT are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, so a scheduled rotation and a VVIP movement leave the same kitchen on different specifications. Inflight catering at AYT draws where the facts allow it on regional produce — dairy, orchard fruit, fish from the coast — worked into the season rather than fixed to a single supplier. Passenger meal boxes, crew sets and VIP flight menus are planned from the same production line but built to their own cabin brief, First, Business and main cabin each carrying its own tray specification. Every dietary and religious requirement is documented per passenger and per cabin, so a special set is traceable back to the seat it was built for.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Antalya are plated to a written specification rather than an open brief, with à-la-carte service available on request for a repeat rotation. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order so a returning aircraft is served to the same brief every time, at LTAI as much as anywhere else on the network.
Business cabins
Business cabins at AYT run on multi-choice hot service built to a fixed cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals at LTAI and cabin crew meals are set apart from passenger trays, and pilot meals travel boxed to the roster, with crew meals in Turkey handled to the same tray standard throughout.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Antalya are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets produced on a separate line before they are sealed. Halal and kosher trays, alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes, form part of the inflight catering in Turkey that this station produces to that same standard.

Flight catering airside delivery at Antalya, Turkey
Antalya handles scheduled, charter and government traffic across three runways, and that mix sets three different catering problems side by side: a delegation calls for documentation before it calls for food, a peak charter wave calls for capacity across several stands at once, and a repeat rotation calls for the same specification produced without drift. Airline catering in Turkey at this station is planned around whichever of those three the rotation on the ramp actually is, not a single fixed routine. The uplift travels from the flight kitchen to the apron under ramp access held on our own clearance, boarded by hi-loader to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft, with a loading crew assigned to the stand rather than shared across several at once.
Aviation catering at LTAI and in-flight catering in Turkey run off one operations desk that tracks the stand, the slot and the loading sheet together, so a delayed rotation is reworked rather than delayed twice. Inflight catering in Antalya and airport catering in Turkey are coordinated from that same desk, which is what keeps a wide-body turnaround and a smaller ad hoc movement from competing for the same loading crew.
One coordinator carries the rotation from kitchen seal to stand-side handover, with sealed carts and a signed confirmation closing every load.
Airline, charter and VVIP catering at Antalya, Turkey
01
Government and state flight catering at Antalya
Our kitchen runs the 3,400-metre runway here as the reason a head of state aircraft can be worked at Antalya without a routing compromise, which is what government flight catering depends on before protocol is even discussed. Delegations and state visits are handled on a documented file per passenger, with security-cleared staff and the uplift sealed before it leaves the kitchen, ready for whichever terminal the movement is assigned.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at LTAI
The 3,400-metre runway supports the private airliners this segment actually flies — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — without a length constraint standing between the aircraft and the stand. Royal flight catering at Antalya is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request and royal household continuity carried across repeat rotations rather than rebuilt each time.
Royal & VVIP flights →
03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at AYT
Wide-body charter aircraft board here because the reference code held at this field covers them on the same stands as scheduled traffic, with no separate arrangement needed for a group movement. Charter flight catering at Antalya covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, sports team and tour operator movements, and multi-leg patterns, with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet before charter flight catering at AYT closes the load.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Antalya
The 3,400-metre runway at AYT keeps wide-body diversions and technical stops landable here rather than routed elsewhere, which is exactly the traffic ad hoc airline catering has to be ready for on short notice. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering all draw on the same duty roster, with crew meals at AYT and crew meals at Antalya boxed to the roster whatever the reason for the stop, and ad hoc airline catering at LTAI and outstation catering at LTAI run off that one standing arrangement rather than a fresh setup each time.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at LTAI
Alongside the wide-body stands, the same reference code covers the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field, so private jet catering at LTAI moves on the identical cold chain and paperwork as a wide-body uplift. FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering are all delivered to the ramp handler serving that side of the field rather than split across separate standards.

“We were looking for a dependable airline catering partner in Antalya (AYT/LTAI) and the process was straightforward. They understood airline operations and kept communication short, clear, and useful. A good partner to have when the usual supplier is not available. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Alain — Flight Dispatch Coordinator
“I arranged private jet catering in Antalya for our departure from AYT/LTAI. The menu selection was good and all special requests were clearly identified. Good local support for a VIP operation. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Ethan — Station Services Coordinator
“For our flight from Antalya (AYT/LTAI), the cabin order included multiple kosher airline meals. All requirements were followed and the cabin crew could see immediately which meal belonged to which passenger. A good experience with complex dietary requests. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”

Aircraft catering questions at AYT
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Antalya airport
What operations gets asked every week about Antalya.
Ask operations directly →Where does airline catering cost get set for flights through AYT?
Every quotation is built from the loading sheet on file for the rotation, covering cabin count, specification and the loading window required, since airline catering cost is not published as a fixed list. The desk at AYT returns a figure against that specific brief rather than a generic rate.
Whose special meal requirements are produced and documented at LTAI?
For every passenger flagged with a dietary or religious requirement, halal and kosher trays are produced on a separate line and matched to the full set of IATA SPML codes. Special meals are logged per seat so the record travels with the aircraft, not just the tray.
When is airline catering delivered airside rather than handed over at a terminal gate in Antalya?
As soon as the loading sheet is confirmed against the stand, the uplift moves under ramp access straight to the aircraft rather than to a terminal counter. Boarding is completed by hi-loader to galley height on the same run.
Does Antalya Airport support private jet catering delivered to the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field?
Every FBO on the field and the GA terminal itself receive private jet catering on the same cold chain and paperwork as a wide-body uplift. FBO catering here is coordinated through the ramp handler rather than arranged separately per operator.
At what point does a specification for AYT need to be locked in before departure?
The order sequence starts with cabin count and mission type, which sets the lead time the kitchen needs to produce and seal the uplift. Last minute airline catering is still worked where the loading window allows it, but how far in advance a full specification is confirmed is what protects a complex rotation from a late change.
