Aviation catering — Ordu, Turkey
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Ordu (LTCB / OGU)
OGU (IATA) · LTCB (ICAO)
The 3002 m runway at Ordu is rated for wide-body movements, which sets what one ops desk can plan for on a single stand: scheduled, charter, government and private jet flights on the same rotation. Inflight catering here runs on hi-loader boarding to galley height, with in-flight catering staged airside and inflight catering timed to the loading window rather than to a counter delivery.

Airport catering order window at Ordu (OGU)
Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at LTCB
The loading window at Ordu runs from the sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door on the wide-body stand, timed rather than guessed at. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the catering uplift moves without waiting on a shared apron slot. Every load crossing that stretch is logged against the same sequence, whatever the mission on the stand that day.

Between our kitchen and the stand at Ordu sit screening, escort and the apron traffic that any wide-body movement draws, and we plan each catering uplift against the worst case those three can produce rather than the average one. The chain of custody is held by one coordinator from seal to signature, so nothing changes hands without a name attached to it. Temperature is logged when the galley catering is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at the galley, and the load only closes once both readings and a signature are on the sheet.
One coordinator, one seal, one signature: the convoy is the risk we plan against.

Cleared crews behind government flight catering at Ordu airport
The flight kitchen behind airport catering at Ordu holds hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell under one roof, built around the HACCP standard the production runs to on every shift. Airport catering in Ordu is planned from that single site rather than split across outstations, which keeps the cold chain unbroken between sealing and the stand. That single-site model is what lets flight kitchen output at OGU move straight to hi-loader boarding without an intermediate handling step.
The team behind government flight catering at Ordu is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying security clearance on file and standing on the access list rather than rotating in from a general pool. They work to royal household standards on request and to a written service specification the rest of the time, with the sealed uplift and its paperwork moving as one unit from kitchen to aircraft. That continuity is what a protocol officer checks first, and catering at LTCB is built to hold it across repeat movements rather than a single flight.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at LTCB / OGU
VVIP catering to a written specification at Ordu (OGU)
Passenger meal boxes through to VVIP menus, the Ordu inflight catering range is written to the cabin, the mission and the season rather than to a fixed cycle. Turkey's produce runs through the specification in general terms — dairy, orchard fruit, fish from the coast — set against a VIP flight menu or a charter flight menu depending on what the rotation calls for. Every set is built to a written brief rather than an open kitchen choice, so First, Business and main cabin each carry their own cabin-specific service standard on the same rotation. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical requirements are documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled through to the galley rather than left to a verbal note.

First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Ordu are plated to a written specification rather than an open menu, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request against the standing order on file. VIP flight catering at LTCB keeps that specification fixed across repeat movements, so the presentation matches what protocol expects rotation after rotation.

Business cabins
Business cabins at OGU run multi-choice hot service to a written cabin specification, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft on the stand. Crew meals at OGU and cabin crew meals travel in their own tray sets, with pilot meals boxed separately and crew meals in Turkey built to the same roster discipline.

Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Ordu are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside halal and kosher production and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering in Ordu produces these on a separate line from the main cycle, sealed there before it joins the rest of the uplift.

Compliance
HACCP-compliant aircraft catering at Ordu
Flight catering airside delivery at OGU
Ordu takes scheduled, charter and government traffic across a single wide-body reference code, which turns a delegation into a documentation problem before it is a seating problem and turns a peak wave into a capacity question the loading plan has to absorb in one pass. Aviation catering in Ordu is planned around that mix rather than around a generic schedule, because the same stand can carry a state movement one day and a charter group the next.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by airside delivery direct to the wide-body stand, with ramp access held on our own clearance rather than a shared handling queue, and airline catering at Ordu loaded by hi-loader to galley height rather than left at the foot of the aircraft. Ground handling on the apron works to the same sequence every time, so in-flight catering in Turkey and inflight catering in Turkey both move through one coordinated path rather than parallel ones.
What we commit to at this station is one coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover on every load, which is the constant that airport catering in Turkey does not vary station to station.

“We needed an airline ops catering supplier at Ordu (OGU/LTCB) and the support was excellent. They coordinated locally, sent useful updates, and kept the final uplift aligned with our revised schedule. We would use the service again without hesitation. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”

Yulia — Airline Operations Controller
“We booked private jet catering in Ordu for a flight operating through OGU/LTCB. Communication was responsive and the team handled a late timing change without any issue. We had a smooth experience from order to delivery. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Samuel — VIP Operations Controller
“Our passenger profile required special meal codes at Ordu (OGU/LTCB), with several different dietary restrictions. The order arrived complete and the special requests were handled with the same presentation as the regular meals. A good experience with complex dietary requests. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Diversion catering and ramp questions at LTCB / OGU
What operations gets asked every week about Ordu.
Ask operations directly →Where can we confirm halal, kosher and special meal codes are documented for a flight through Ordu?
Every halal, kosher and SPML order is recorded against the passenger manifest and travels with the load as a signed document, not a verbal note. Special meals are produced on a separate line and sealed before they join the main uplift.
How does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at OGU?
OGU uplift moves by airside delivery direct from our kitchen to the wide-body stand, with our own ramp clearance rather than a shared queue. Loading is by hi-loader to galley height, so nothing is set down at the foot of the aircraft.
When can private jet catering be delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal at LTCB?
When a business aviation movement is confirmed on the field, private jet catering is dispatched to the GA terminal and the ramp handler on the same cold chain as an airline load. FBO catering follows the same paperwork and the same coordinator model as any other uplift here.
What does airline catering cost at Ordu?
We price against cabin count, specification and the loading window rather than a published list, since no two rotations draw the same production. Send the mission details to our desk and a quotation comes back against them directly.
