Aviation catering — Eskişehir, Turkey
Wide-body airline catering, VIP flight catering and private jet catering at Eskişehir (LTBI / ESK)
ESK (IATA) · LTBI (ICAO)
A 3050 m runway at Eskişehir clears wide-body movements onto stands where our crews board hi-loaders straight to the galley door, no delivery left waiting at the foot of the aircraft. Inflight catering ESK and in-flight catering LTBI run off one ops desk, with inflight catering staged for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet departures.

Wide-body aviation catering at Eskişehir (ESK)
Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aircraft catering lead times at ESK
Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at LTBI / ESK
The single wide-body stand at Eskişehir sets the sequence our crews plan against, from the sealed cart leaving the kitchen to the cart clearing the galley door. Ramp access carries the load the last stretch, never a handoff at the foot of the steps, and every catering uplift on that stand is timed to the same loading window. What is measured is the minutes the convoy needs to cross the apron, not an estimate rounded up for comfort.
Between our kitchen and the wide-body stand at LTBI sit screening, an escort convoy and apron traffic crossing in front of the loading route, and we plan the galley catering schedule against the worst of what any of them can add. Nothing moves onto the ramp without that escort confirmed and the convoy cleared through the checkpoint ahead of it. Every catering uplift is logged at two points: the temperature taken when the cart is sealed at the kitchen, and again at the handover on the stand, with one name signing for the load at each end so the chain of custody never has a gap in it.
One coordinator carries the seal from the kitchen to the signature at the aircraft.

Pilot meals and cleared production crews for Eskişehir
Airport catering at ESK is built from one facility holding hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under a single roof, run to an HACCP standard across every line. That structure is what lets airport catering in Eskişehir move a delegation's protocol tray and a scheduled airline's tray sets off the same kitchen without either queue slowing the other. The cold chain is held from the moment a tray is packed to the moment it is handed over at the flight kitchen door, with nothing left to ambient air on the way to the cart.
The team that handles government flight catering at this kitchen is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rota drawn fresh each time a delegation moves through Eskişehir. Every member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp, and is trained to household service standards as well as to the paperwork a sealed uplift travels with. That continuity is what a protocol officer is actually checking for when a movement is booked at short notice through catering at ESK.
VIP flight catering menus for Eskişehir airport departures
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at ESK
The Eskişehir airline catering menu is written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a single fixed card repeated on every rotation. Local sourcing draws on the country's dairy, orchard fruit and grain where the route allows it, set alongside a wider inflight catering range built for multi-leg schedules and one-off charters alike. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, produced on their own line and labelled before they reach the cart. Inflight catering here means the menu changes with the mission while the specification behind it does not.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Eskişehir are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed card, with caviar service and à-la-carte options available on request. VIP flight catering at LTBI is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation is served to the same presentation every time it lands.
Business cabins
Business cabins at Eskişehir run multi-choice hot service built to the cabin specification of the aircraft on the stand, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to fit its galley. Crew meals at Eskişehir travel alongside, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed separately and matched to the crew meals roster filed for that rotation, matching crew meals in Turkey standards.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger for protocol and dietary work out of Eskişehir, produced on a separate line before they are sealed. Halal and kosher sets, and the full range of IATA special meal codes, are built to that same standard, giving inflight catering at Eskişehir one documented set for every diet a manifest carries.

Flight catering airside delivery at Eskişehir, Turkey
Eskişehir's single wide-body stand carries a mixed traffic profile, from scheduled sectors to charter and government movements, and each type asks something different of the kitchen: a delegation brings a documentation load, a charter wave brings a volume load, and a repeat rotation asks for the same specification held without drift. Airline catering at LTBI and inflight catering in Eskişehir both run off the same route from our flight kitchen to the ramp, with sealed carts moved under escort and loaded by hi-loader rather than dropped at the foot of the aircraft. In-flight catering at Eskişehir and aviation catering at ESK share that one ops desk, so a diversion or a late change is worked by the same team that planned the original loading window.
Airport catering in Eskişehir is planned stand by stand, with ramp access held on our own badges rather than a borrowed pass, which keeps the convoy moving on a field with a single stand carrying every movement.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, carts sealed at the kitchen, and a signed handover at the aircraft.
VVIP catering alongside scheduled flights at Eskişehir
01
Government and state flight catering at Eskişehir
With one wide-body stand carrying every movement through Eskişehir, a delegation aircraft is worked on the same ramp as a scheduled sector, which is why the protocol file has to be built before the aircraft is even confirmed on the schedule. Government flight catering at this station documents the file per passenger, puts only security-cleared staff on the load, and seals the uplift before it leaves the kitchen, ready for any head of state movement routed through here.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at LTBI
Sequencing a wide-body cabin set against a single stand means the household file has to be locked before the aircraft is even on approach, not adjusted once it has landed. Royal flight catering at Eskişehir is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, covering private airliners such as BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations, with halal and other royal household dietary requirements built in on request.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at ESK
3050 metres of runway clears a fully loaded wide-body charter for departure without a weight trade-off on the uplift. Charter flight catering at ESK and charter flight catering in Eskişehir cover ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and multi-leg special missions with a full three-cabin load counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order before it ever reaches the stand.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Eskişehir
A wide-body cleared onto the Eskişehir stand can be worked as an outstation rotation or as an ad hoc airline catering call with no standing schedule behind it. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering at ESK run off the same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg pattern, with crew meals at ESK and crew meals in Turkey boxed to whichever roster the diversion lands on.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at LTBI
Our kitchen routes the same sealed cart and paperwork used on a wide-body rotation to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal at Eskişehir, holding one cold chain across both. Private jet catering at LTBI, FBO catering and business aviation catering are worked from that single production line, so a business jet crew gets business jet catering built to the identical standard as the airline stand beside it.

“We arranged group charter catering for the group at Eskişehir (ESK/LTBI) after a late schedule update. The order included different meal types and snacks, but the cabin crew could identify everything immediately. A good partner for sports charter operations. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Anika — Flight Logistics Manager
“We needed military charter catering at Eskişehir (ESK/LTBI) for a time-sensitive operation. The meals were practical, clearly packed, and easy for the crew to distribute during the flight. A good experience under difficult timing conditions. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Olivier — Airport Services Manager
“For a cargo sector from Eskişehir (ESK/LTBI), we arranged cargo crew meals for the operating crew. The crew received the correct quantities and the handover was quick, which is exactly what we needed. Good service for freighter crews and odd-hour schedules. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Outstation catering questions at Eskişehir airport
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Eskişehir airport
What operations gets asked every week about Eskişehir.
Ask operations directly →How far does Eskişehir extend private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal on the field?
The same cold chain and paperwork used on an airline stand governs FBO catering here, so any FBO on the field and the GA terminal are reached on one standard rather than a separate arrangement for each.
Who sets the airline catering cost for a rotation through ESK?
For every quotation at ESK, the cost is set by cabin count, specification and the loading window booked, since no price list is published; the desk returns a figure once those three are confirmed.
Given the single stand at LTBI, how far in advance must an order be placed?
There is a standard lead time for a first booking through LTBI, and a shorter window in which a confirmed specification can still change before the loading sheet is locked, covering last minute airline catering as well as scheduled orders.
Eskişehir, are halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes produced here?
The sealed cart carrying a standard tray set also carries halal, kosher and any SPML code ordered, each produced on a separate line and documented per passenger before it leaves the kitchen.
At what point does a VIP, VVIP or government flight catering booking begin at Eskişehir?
The first step is the protocol file, opened before the aircraft type or cabin layout is even confirmed, and every stage after that, from security-cleared staff to the sealed handover, is worked against that file.
