EDO (IATA) · LTFD (ICAO)
The 3000 m runway at Edremit clears wide-body movements onto a single wide-body stand, so a full three-cabin rotation is boarded from one point rather than several. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here move by hi-loader to galley height, an uplift staged airside rather than left at the foot of the aircraft.

In-flight catering, sealed cart to galley door, Edremit, Turkey
The wide-body reference code held at Edremit sets how a full uplift is staged before it ever reaches the aircraft. Ramp access is booked against the same slot as the aircraft's own turnaround, so the catering uplift moves on the apron in step with fuel, cabin cleaning and baggage rather than after them. Nothing at LTFD waits on a queue it does not control.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Edremit sit screening, an escort through the airside gate, and whatever apron traffic the turnaround wave brings with it. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of those three, not the average of them, because a single wide-body stand leaves no second slot to fall back on. Chain of custody runs from the seal at the kitchen door to the signature at the galley: temperature is logged when the cart is sealed and logged again at handover, and galley catering only clears the aircraft once both entries match.
One sealed cart, one signature, from our kitchen to the galley door.
Airline food supplier kitchen serving EDO
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at LTFD / EDO
The wide-body reference code held at Edremit governs a kitchen built to provision a full three-cabin rotation rather than a single galley cart. Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line sit under one roof, so airport catering in Edremit does not depend on a chain of separate suppliers meeting at the stand. Flight kitchen output at EDO runs to HACCP, and airport catering at Edremit is planned against the same wide-body baseline as the ramp itself.
Government flight catering at Edremit is handled by the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Security clearance is held on file, each person sits on a fixed access list, and the team is trained to royal household standards for documentation and conduct around a sealed uplift. Catering at LTFD for this kind of movement carries a signed handover at every stage, from the kitchen door to the galley.
VIP flight catering menus for LTFD departures
VVIP catering to a written specification at Edremit
Menus at Edremit are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed offer, so a scheduled service and a state movement are not served from the same fixed sheet. Inflight catering in Turkey draws on the country's produce where the flight profile allows it, dairy, orchard fruit and fish sourced in general terms rather than to a named grower or a single dish. Every set is labelled per passenger and per cabin against allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements before it leaves the kitchen. VIP flight menus and charter flight menus both run from the same production line, only the specification changes.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at LTFD are plated to a written specification held on file between rotations, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, not reworked from scratch on each movement.
Business cabins
Business cabins at EDO run on multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately and loaded to the roster alongside the passenger tray sets.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary sets at Edremit are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical requirements alongside halal and kosher production and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering of this kind is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line.

Flight catering airside delivery at Edremit (EDO)
Edremit works scheduled, charter, VIP and government traffic across a single wide-body stand, which turns every delegation into a documentation task and every peak wave into a capacity one rather than a scheduling one. Airport catering in Turkey at this scale means the desk plans the paperwork before it plans the tray count.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, boarded directly to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft. Ground handling on the apron is coordinated with our own loading crew, so inflight catering at LTFD and aviation catering at EDO run off one ops desk rather than two separate ones.
One coordinator is named to each rotation, the carts are sealed at the kitchen, and the handover at the aircraft is signed before airline catering in Edremit is considered closed.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at LTFD / EDO
01
Government and state flight catering at Edremit
On the wide-body stand at Edremit, a delegation aircraft is worked to the same reference code as any scheduled movement, which keeps the protocol paperwork separate from the ramp constraint rather than adding to it. Government flight catering for state visits and official delegations is documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared personnel, and sealed before it leaves the kitchen for a head of state movement.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at LTFD
Working a private airliner off the single wide-body stand at Edremit means sequencing the household load ahead of any competing turnaround, since there is no second stand to hold it on. Royal flight catering and VVIP catering for BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP aircraft run to a written household specification kept on file between movements, halal and household dietary requirements included on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at EDO
The runway at Edremit measures 3000 metres, long enough to clear a wide-body charter movement onto the stand without a weight restriction limiting the load. Charter flight catering here serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, charter flight catering at EDO staged in the order the galleys are laid out for a multi-leg pattern.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Edremit
A wide-body operating on the single stand at Edremit can be boarded as an outstation rotation without a second kitchen involved. Ad hoc airline catering here covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg pattern; the menu cycle changes week to week, the tray standard does not.

Private jet and FBO catering at LTFD
Our kitchen provisions the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field at Edremit off the same 3000 m runway that clears the wide-body stand, so a business jet movement is worked from the same production line rather than a separate one. Private jet catering at EDO reaches the ramp on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, business aviation catering and business jet catering included.

“Our ops team used the service at Edremit (EDO/LTFD) as an airline catering partner. They understood airline operations and kept communication short, clear, and useful. Very convenient for operational coverage. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Hugo — Charter Flight Coordinator
“We used the service for airline catering in Edremit on a VIP rotation through EDO/LTFD. The menu selection was good and all special requests were clearly identified. A very easy service to use at this station. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Cecilia — Freighter Duty Manager
“For our flight from Edremit (EDO/LTFD), the cabin order included multiple special meals. Each item was clearly identified, separated from the standard meals, and easy to check before boarding. That attention to detail makes a big difference onboard. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Business jet catering questions at LTFD
Pilot meals and loading questions at LTFD
What operations gets asked every week about Edremit.
Ask operations directly →At what point does airline catering reach the aircraft at EDO?
Airside delivery starts at the sealed kitchen door and ends at the galley, boarded directly by hi-loader rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft.
Working within a single wide-body stand, do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at LTFD?
There are FBOs on the field and a GA terminal at Edremit, and FBO catering reaches both on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Can a specification for Edremit still change close to departure?
Lead time depends on the cabin count and the mission, but how far in advance an order is placed matters less than how late it can still be amended; even last minute airline catering is worked against the sealed handover, not against a fixed cutoff.
How much does airline catering cost at Edremit Airport?
The standard applied is the same on every rotation, so airline catering cost depends on cabin count, specification and loading window rather than on the type of flight; the desk returns a quotation against those three.
EDO: do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights, and under what protocol?
The hi-loader that boards a scheduled cabin also carries VIP flight catering and government flight catering, sealed and handled under the same protocol whatever the mission.
