Aviation catering — Erzincan, Turkey
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Erzincan (LTCD / ERC)
ERC (IATA) · LTCD (ICAO)
The wide-body reference code held at this station governs every hi-loader we bring to the stand, boarding straight to galley height rather than staging trays at the foot of the aircraft. That single method carries inflight catering, in-flight catering and the aviation uplift alike, from scheduled rotations through to a sealed VIP or government load at Erzincan.

Aircraft catering lead times at Erzincan airport
Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at ERC
Every catering uplift at this station is timed from the moment the cart is sealed at the kitchen to the moment it clears the galley door, not from when the order is confirmed. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the apron leg of that journey is worked without waiting on a shared escort slot. The wide-body reference code held here sets the loading sequence the crew follows cart by cart into the galley.
Between our kitchen and the stand at Erzincan sit screening, an escort through the airside gate and ordinary apron traffic, and every galley catering run at this station is planned against the worst of those three, not the average. Chain of custody starts at the seal on the cart and does not break until the receiving crew signs for the load at the aircraft door. Each catering uplift is logged twice on temperature, once at sealing and once at handover, so the record covers the whole route rather than a single reading.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the door: nothing moves unlogged in between.
Flight kitchen and crew meals for LTCD
Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at LTCD
The flight kitchen behind this station runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, feeding tray sets and passenger meal boxes out to the wide-body stands rather than assembling loads on the ramp. Airport catering at LTCD is planned from that single production floor, with the HACCP standard governing every line before a cart is sealed for the apron. Airport catering at Erzincan therefore starts in the kitchen, not at the aircraft door, and the flight kitchen at ERC holds the cold chain intact until the cart leaves the building.
The team that handles government flight catering at Erzincan is the same named crew on every rotation, carried on a fixed access list rather than rotated in ad hoc. Each member holds a current security clearance on file, trained to royal household standards and to the paperwork that has to travel sealed with the uplift. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and it is what the catering at LTCD desk can confirm before a single tray is loaded.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Erzincan, Turkey
VVIP catering to a written specification at Erzincan airport
The wide-body reference code held at this station lets the kitchen plan a full three-cabin service rather than a single generic tray run, and inflight catering at ERC is written to that cabin split from the outset. Menus draw on Turkey's produce in general terms, dairy, orchard fruit and fish worked into a rotating cycle rather than a fixed card. Every set is adapted to the mission, whether that is a scheduled sector, a charter block or a government movement, and to the season the aircraft is flying in. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Erzincan are plated to a written specification rather than improvised at the stand, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so the presentation is repeatable rotation to rotation, not reinvented each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at LTCD run on multi-choice hot service built to cabin specification, in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so tray sets and meal boxes never cross between the two groups.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Erzincan are documented per passenger, covering halal and kosher sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes, from SPML through to religious and medical variants. Each set is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, which is how inflight catering here keeps a household or medical order apart from the general cabin run.

Inflight catering delivered to the stand at Erzincan
Erzincan handles scheduled, charter and government traffic across its single wide-body-rated runway, and that mix sets the catering plan as much as the aircraft type does: a delegation movement is a documentation problem before it is a food problem, a charter wave is a capacity problem, and a repeat rotation is a repetition problem the kitchen has to hold consistent week on week.
The uplift reaches the aircraft by hi-loader, boarded straight to the galley door rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft, with ramp access held on our own badges from the kitchen gate to the stand. Airline catering at ERC and airport catering in Erzincan run off the same ops desk, so a diversion or an added sector is worked without a second point of contact.
In-flight catering in Turkey and aviation catering at Erzincan both commit to the same three things on this station: one coordinator named to the rotation, carts sealed at the kitchen, and a signed handover at the stand, with inflight catering at LTCD logged the same way whatever the segment flying that day.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at LTCD
01
Government and state flight catering at ERC
A 3000 m runway at this field is long enough to bring a head of state aircraft onto the same wide-body stand used for scheduled traffic, without a separate movement plan for the airframe. Government flight catering at ERC for state visits and official delegations runs on protocol documented per passenger, security-cleared staff on the access list, and catering at ERC sealed before it leaves the kitchen for the stand.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Erzincan
A private airliner on a household movement lands on the same 3000 m runway that clears this station's scheduled wide-body traffic, which is what lets us hold a royal flight catering standard here without a dedicated strip. BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP aircraft are worked to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household dietary requirements produced on request rather than assembled at short notice.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at LTCD
Across the single wide-body-rated stand this station operates, the runway length is what lets a full three-cabin charter aircraft turn here rather than routing around it. Charter flight catering at Erzincan for ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions is counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order, and charter flight catering in Turkey follows the same sequence whatever the mission behind it.

Airline and ad hoc catering at ERC
Our kitchen runs the wide-body reference code held at this station against every rotation it feeds, which is what lets one duty roster cover carriers using Erzincan as an outstation as readily as a single unplanned call. Ad hoc airline catering at Erzincan and outstation catering sit alongside diversion catering, technical stop catering and AOG support across a multi-leg pattern, with crew meals in Erzincan boxed to the same roster and ad hoc catering at ERC and diversion catering at ERC covered from the same kitchen without a separate mobilisation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Erzincan
Sequencing a business aircraft alongside wide-body rotations on the same reference code means the GA terminal load has to slot into the ramp plan rather than run apart from it. Private jet catering at ERC is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal by our dedicated branch, on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, and business aviation catering and FBO catering both draw on that one kitchen.

“We needed royal flight catering at Erzincan (ERC/LTCD) for a protocol-sensitive flight. Special meals and crew items were clearly separated, and the aircraft-side handover was smooth. We were very satisfied with the level of coordination. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Mateo — Duty Operations Manager
“We ordered ACJ catering for our aircraft at Erzincan (ERC/LTCD) and the result was very good. The order was organized by service and passenger request, which saved us time before departure. Exactly the level of detail we expect for VIP flying. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Julien — Flight Dispatch Supervisor
“We booked umrah flight catering at Erzincan (ERC/LTCD) for a large group departure. Despite the large order, communication stayed simple and final quantities were confirmed without confusion. A dependable choice for group charter operations. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
