Aviation catering — Sivas, Turkey
Airline catering, VIP and private jet catering at Sivas (LTAR / VAS)
VAS (IATA) · LTAR (ICAO)
Sivas holds a wide-body reference code on its single 3811 m runway, which means a full-size aircraft can be boarded here rather than diverted for provisioning elsewhere. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and hi-loader boarding to galley height at this station, with uplift moved airside to the wide-body stand rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft.

Everything below is what we measure at this station — distances, windows, who signs what.
Aircraft catering lead times at Sivas, Turkey
In-flight catering, sealed cart to galley door, Sivas airport
The loading window here starts at the kitchen seal and ends at the galley door, with each stage logged rather than assumed. Ramp access at VAS is held on our own clearance, so the catering uplift moves directly to the wide-body stand instead of waiting at a shared apron gate. That single path is what keeps a multi-class rotation on schedule at LTAR catering runs whatever the traffic on the field that day.
Between the kitchen and the stand at Sivas sit screening, an escort segment and apron movements that vary with the day's traffic, and the galley catering plan is built against the busiest version of that sequence rather than the easiest. Every catering uplift bound for LTAR is sealed before it leaves the kitchen door and logged again at handover, with no gap in the chain of custody between the two points. A named coordinator carries the load from seal to signature, so the record at the galley matches the one written at Sivas.
One seal at the kitchen, one signature at the galley, nothing open between them.
Cargo crew meals and passenger uplifts for LTAR / VAS
Cleared crews behind government flight catering at Sivas (VAS)
Sivas takes its uplift from a flight kitchen built to run hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under a single roof, all working to the same HACCP standard rather than separate ones per section. That structure is what lets airport catering Sivas and airport catering Turkey queries land on one facility instead of several, because a wide-body rotation through VAS needs cabin trays, crew sets and a protocol order produced together, not staged from different suppliers. The flight kitchen VAS answers to runs on that logic every day.
The team behind government flight catering at this station is the same named crew on every rotation, not a rota drawn from a general pool. Each member carries a current security clearance, sits on the access list for the sealed side of the kitchen, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement requires before a tray ever reaches the cart. That continuity is what a VAS catering order for a repeat mission is actually paying for.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Sivas
VVIP catering to a written specification at Sivas, Turkey
Menus at this station are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed list, moving from passenger meal boxes for a main-cabin rotation to a full VVIP setting on the same day. Sourcing draws on regional produce where the country's supply allows it, kept to general categories such as dairy, orchard fruit and fresh fish rather than a fixed dish. Every set carries inflight catering LTAR documentation for allergens, and halal and kosher sets are produced and labelled the same way. Special requirements are recorded per passenger and per cabin, so a change on one seat never touches the rest of the load.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Sivas are plated to a written specification rather than a standard tray, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request for a repeat rotation. VIP flight catering VAS orders are filed against that specification so the same setting can be reproduced on the next movement without a new brief.
Business cabins
Business cabins on a VAS rotation take multi-choice hot service built to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed in oven-ready formats rather than plated loose. Crew meals LTAR and crew meals Turkey orders travel in the same tray-set structure, with cabin crew meals and pilot meals boxed separately against the roster.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements for a Sivas departure are documented per passenger rather than carried as a general note on the manifest. Halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes are produced on a separate line and sealed before leaving it, giving every inflight catering in Sivas order a documented set matched to the traveller who ordered it.

Flight catering airside delivery at LTAR
Sivas carries a wide-body reference code on a single runway, so traffic here ranges from scheduled rotations to government and charter movements rather than a narrow-body-only mix, and that mix turns catering into three separate problems at once: a delegation brings a documentation load, a charter wave brings a capacity load, and a repeat scheduled rotation brings a repetition load that has to be solved the same way every time.
The uplift reaches the aircraft here by hi-loader, boarded directly to galley height rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft, with ground handling on the apron and airside delivery carrying the sealed cart the last distance to the stand. Airline catering and aviation catering at LTAR run off that same route regardless of aircraft type, and airport catering VAS is planned stand by stand rather than by terminal.
On every movement through Sivas, one coordinator owns the load from kitchen seal to aircraft signature, with inflight catering paperwork closing the loop the same way each time.
Commercial aviation catering for every mission at Sivas (VAS)
01
Government and state flight catering at Sivas
A wide-body movement into LTAR carries its own documentation load the moment a delegation is on board, and government flight catering here is built around that fact rather than around the meal. Protocol is filed per passenger, staff carry a current security clearance, and the uplift for any head of state movement is sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at LTAR
A single wide-body stand at Sivas is enough to hold a private airliner for the full turnaround a royal household movement requires. Royal flight catering here runs to a written household specification kept on file between movements, covering BBJ, ACJ and other wide-body VIP airframes, with halal and other royal household dietary requirements produced on request.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at VAS
The wide-body stand at Sivas takes a full three-cabin airframe, which is what lets a single charter movement carry a group rather than a partial load. Charter flight catering here serves ACMI and wet-lease operators, group charter and special missions, with a second run of charter flight catering built round the same loading sheet for a multi-leg tour or a repatriation movement.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at Sivas
Sivas takes wide-body traffic on its single runway, which lets a carrier running this field as an outstation load a full three-cabin set rather than a reduced one. Ad hoc airline catering VAS covers outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off one duty roster, AOG included, with crew meals in Sivas boxed to the same roster across a multi-leg rotation.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at LTAR
The same wide-body ramp that takes a scheduled rotation into Sivas also serves the GA terminal and the FBOs on the field, so a business aircraft is not routed through a separate supply chain. Private jet catering LTAR reaches those aprons on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering and business aviation catering handled by our dedicated branch and business jet catering following the identical seal-to-signature record.

Business jet catering questions at Sivas
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Sivas
What operations gets asked every week about Sivas.
Ask operations directly →Where does the cost of airline catering at LTAR come from?
Every quotation is built from the written specification on file for the rotation: cabin count, menu tier and the loading window requested. We publish no fixed price list, because a main-cabin box run and a full VVIP setting draw on different production lines, and the desk returns a figure once those are set.
When can airline catering be delivered airside at Sivas?
Once the sealed cart clears the ramp checkpoint, it moves directly to the wide-body stand by hi-loader rather than being staged at the foot of the aircraft, boarding straight to galley height on the airside delivery run.
Does Sivas Airport cover private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal?
Each FBO on the field and the GA terminal itself receive uplift on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline load, with FBO catering handled by the same coordinator who runs a wide-body rotation.
At what point does an order for VAS need to be placed?
The specification is opened first, then locked once cabin count and menu tier are confirmed; after that, changes are still possible closer to departure, which is what makes last minute airline catering workable without reopening the whole file. Lead time depends on how far in advance the mission is known, from weeks for a scheduled rotation to same-day for a diversion.
Who signs off the special meal sets flown out of LTAR?
For every passenger requiring one, halal, kosher and the full range of IATA SPML special meal codes are produced on a dedicated line and documented individually, so the record travels with the tray rather than the manifest alone.
