The chef's menu at EBL

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Arbil departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

Inflight Catering · Arbil

Arbil private jet catering

Arbil is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on earth, and its food culture reflects that depth. Kurdish cuisine in this region runs on slow-cooked lamb, fragrant rice dishes built with dried fruits and spices from the city's covered bazaars, and flatbreads baked in clay tandoors — none of which are decorative folklore; they are the daily working food of the city and the starting point for everything we compose here. The Erbil plain produces some of the finest pomegranates and figs in the region, and the highland farms north and east of the city supply exceptional dairy. We source from these producers and translate their output into cabin-ready menus — cold mezze built around local labneh and olives, composed proteins prepared with the spice vocabulary that actually belongs to this landscape, not a generic Middle Eastern approximation. Every menu leaving EBL is tied to where we are.

Regional Catering Menu · Arbil

Inflight catering menu for Arbil

Kurdish lamb — slow-roasted with saffron and dried barberries from Arbil's bazaar — travels well as a chilled main, portioned and galley-ready for reheating. Local meze boards anchor morning and midday services: house-pressed walnut paste, smoked aubergine, pickled vegetables from the valley growers south of the city, and warm sangak-style flatbread sealed for the galley. For longer sectors departing ORER, we build structured multi-course menus around the same seasonal produce — light enough for a pressurised cabin, substantial enough for a four-hour westbound flight.
