Aviation catering — Şanlıurfa, Turkey
Wide-body airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Şanlıurfa (LTCS / GNY)
GNY (IATA) · LTCS (ICAO)
Şanlıurfa carries a wide-body aerodrome reference code on a 4000 metre runway, so the widest aircraft flying scheduled, charter, VIP or government sectors can be boarded at the stand. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering here on hi-loader boarding to galley height, uplift crossing airside straight from our kitchen to the aircraft door.

Inflight catering order window at Şanlıurfa airport
In-flight catering, sealed cart to galley door, GNY
The loading window at GNY catering runs from a sealed cart at our kitchen to the galley door on the single wide-body stand this field holds, and it is measured on that stand rather than assumed from a schedule. Ramp access is held on our own clearance, so the convoy crosses the apron without waiting on a third party's gate pass. Every catering uplift here follows the same sequence: sealed at the kitchen, checked on the ramp, signed at the door.
Between our kitchen and the one wide-body stand at Şanlıurfa sit screening, escort and the apron traffic that a single-runway field still carries at peak hours, and we plan the catering uplift against the worst of that queue rather than the average of it. Chain of custody runs from the cart seal to the galley catering handover, with no gap where responsibility could move to somebody else's crew. Temperatures are logged when the cart is sealed at the kitchen and logged again at the aircraft, and the paperwork that closes the load carries one signature, not several.
One coordinator carries the seal from our kitchen to the signature at the galley door.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for Şanlıurfa (GNY)
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for LTCS
The flight kitchen behind Şanlıurfa runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to HACCP standard and sized to a wide-body rotation rather than a narrow-body turnaround. Airport catering in Şanlıurfa and airport catering Turkey both draw on the same cold chain, so a diversion or an unscheduled call is provisioned from stock already held rather than sourced against the clock. Flight kitchen GNY output is staged by cabin before it ever reaches the ramp, which is what keeps a full three-cabin load moving as one unit.
The team that handles government flight catering at Şanlıurfa is the same named crew on every rotation, carrying security clearance on file and standing on the access list rather than being drawn from a general pool. They are trained to royal household standards as well as airline ones, so a protocol movement and a scheduled sector are handled by the same hands without a change of procedure. Chain of custody runs with them from the kitchen seal to the handover signature, cart by cart.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Şanlıurfa, Turkey
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Şanlıurfa airport
Menus at Şanlıurfa are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a single fixed offer, with First, Business and main cabin each carrying its own specification through the same kitchen. Turkish produce anchors the seasonal frame where the region allows it, from orchard fruit to dairy and fish, without naming a single dish or a single supplier against it. Inflight catering in Şanlıurfa moves from that seasonal base into VIP flight menu and charter flight menu formats built to the mission length and the cabin count on the loading sheet. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, labelled before they leave the kitchen and matched against the manifest at the door.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Şanlıurfa are plated to a written specification rather than a fixed menu card, with à-la-carte service on request and the presentation filed against the standing order before the cart is sealed. VIP flight catering LTCS follows that same file on every rotation, so a repeat movement is served to the pattern already on record rather than reconstructed from scratch.
Business cabins
Business cabins at GNY run multi-choice hot service to a written cabin specification, boxed into galley-ready tray sets sized to the aircraft fitted on the stand. Crew meals Şanlıurfa and crew meals LTCS travel the same load: cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed separately and matched to the duty roster before departure.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at Şanlıurfa are documented per passenger, covering household, religious and medical needs alongside halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering Şanlıurfa produces every one of these on a separate line in the kitchen, sealed before it joins the main load rather than mixed in with it.

Airside airport catering at Şanlıurfa
Şanlıurfa runs on a single wide-body-capable runway of 4000 metres, which means the traffic passing through it concentrates rather than spreads across parallel stands, and a scheduled sector, a charter and a government movement can all be working the same stand window on the same day. That concentration turns catering into a sequencing problem before it is a volume one: a delegation on the ramp is a documentation task, a peak wave is a capacity task, and both are worked from the same duty roster rather than improvised.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by hi-loader, boarding directly to galley height rather than being set down at the foot of the aircraft, with ramp access held on our own clearance for the crossing. Airline catering GNY and airport catering GNY both describe that same short, escorted run across the apron, coordinated with whoever is working ground handling on the stand that day.
What we commit to on this station is one coordinator per rotation, sealed carts from kitchen to door, and a signed handover that closes the load; inflight catering LTCS and aviation catering in Şanlıurfa are run to that same commitment whichever segment is on the stand.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at LTCS
01
Government and state flight catering at Şanlıurfa
The one wide-body stand at LTCS is where a state delegation and a scheduled sector share the same ramp gate, which is why government flight catering here runs on a documented protocol rather than an informal handover. Every head of state movement is logged per passenger, worked by security-cleared staff, and sealed before the cart leaves the kitchen for the stand.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at LTCS
The single wide-body stand at Şanlıurfa takes private airliners on the same clearance as a scheduled call, which lets a royal household movement be worked without a change of ramp procedure. Royal flight catering here is held to a written specification kept on file between rotations, covering BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations, with halal and household dietary requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at GNY
Şanlıurfa's single wide-body stand takes a full three-cabin load in one pass, which is what makes charter flight catering here workable for ACMI and wet-lease operators moving groups rather than scheduled passengers. Charter flight catering LTCS and charter flight catering Şanlıurfa both cover multi-leg group movements and special missions, counted against the loading sheet and staged in the order the galleys are laid out.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Şanlıurfa
The single wide-body stand at GNY carries scheduled, charter and diverted traffic through one ramp gate, which is what makes ad hoc airline catering here a matter of sequencing rather than capacity. Outstation catering and diversion catering run off the same duty roster as a scheduled call, technical stop catering and AOG are provisioned from stock already held, and crew meals in Şanlıurfa move with the same load across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at LTCS
The GA terminal and the FBOs on the Şanlıurfa field share the same wide-body-capable ramp as the scheduled stand, so private jet catering GNY moves on the identical cold chain rather than a separate one. Business aviation catering and business jet catering here carry the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering delivered to the ramp handler on request.

“Our flight at Şanlıurfa (GNY/LTCS) required galley ready meals with clear service-by-service organization. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Exactly what we need for a quick galley setup. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

What operations gets asked every week about Şanlıurfa.
Ask operations directly →Who handles VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at GNY, and under what protocol?
For every movement through GNY, VIP flight catering and government flight catering are worked by security-cleared staff to a documented protocol, with the file kept on record between rotations.
How far does halal, kosher and special meal production go at LTCS?
Cleared to HACCP standard, the kitchen behind LTCS produces halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes on a separate line, each documented per passenger before the cart is sealed.
At which point does private jet catering reach the FBOs and the GA terminal in Şanlıurfa?
The sealed cart leaves our kitchen first and is delivered directly to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal in Şanlıurfa, on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
Şanlıurfa Airport — how far in advance must an order be placed, and how late can the specification change?
The hi-loader carries the uplift on a fixed loading window, so a standard order is placed well ahead of the stand time while last minute airline catering changes are still taken up to the sealing point.
Does GNY publish a fixed price for airline catering?
Each quotation is built from the cabin count, the specification and the loading window on the day, since airline catering cost is never fixed to a published list; the desk comes back with a figure once those are known.
