How much notice do you need for a full menu at Sulaymaniyah?

For most orders, a few hours is sufficient. We recommend 12 to 24 hours for complex multi-course menus or large passenger counts. Kosher catering requires a minimum of 24 hours to allow for certified preparation and sealed documentation.

Which handling companies do you deliver to at Sulaymaniyah?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft. When you brief us, simply confirm the handler and stand number and we will coordinate directly with them on timing and airside access.

Can you cater a series of flights covering Sulaymaniyah, Kirkuk and Arbil?

Yes. Our network covers all three airports and you deal with one contact for consolidated planning. This is particularly useful for multi-sector rotations where consistent presentation and timing across stops matters.

Do your menus reflect local Kurdish cuisine or are they generic inflight menus?

Both options are available. We can build a menu grounded in Kurdish and regional ingredients — lamb, saffron, sumac, local dairy — or provide a more international inflight catering selection. Many clients request a blend of the two.

How is the food packaged for galley service?

Every item is portioned, labelled and arranged so that crew can serve directly without reorganising. Hot dishes are packed for temperature retention; cold starters and desserts are chilled and presented for immediate plating.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements such as vegetarian, vegan or allergen-free menus?

Yes. Dietary requirements are handled at the briefing stage. Flag all requirements when you place your order and your contact will confirm substitutions and ingredient sourcing before finalising the menu.

Inflight Catering · Sulaymaniyah

Inflight catering for Sulaymaniyah flights

Sulaymaniyah sits at more than 2,400 feet in the Zagros foothills, a city long regarded as the intellectual and artistic capital of Iraqi Kurdistan. Its markets overflow with mountain-grown produce — pomegranates, walnuts, dried herbs and slow-cured lamb — that give Kurdish cuisine a depth rarely found at lower altitudes. We draw on these regional larders to build menus that feel genuinely rooted in the place your passengers are departing from. The city's culinary traditions blend Persian, Arab and Turkic influences into something unmistakably its own: saffron-threaded rice dishes, vine-leaf parcels, charcoal-grilled meats dressed with sumac and fresh dill. For passengers continuing onward to Kirkuk, Arbil or across the Iranian border toward Sanandaj, a menu that reflects Sulaymaniyah's distinctive larder makes for a far more memorable departure than generic flight food.

Regional Catering Menu · Sulaymaniyah

Sulaymaniyah private jet catering

Kurdish lamb is the anchor of any serious menu originating here. Slow-braised shoulder with dried limes and turmeric, served alongside saffron-infused basmati and a tangle of herb salad, translates exceptionally well to a galley environment — it holds temperature, travels without loss of texture, and arrives at altitude tasting as intended. We complement these main courses with cold starters built around labneh, pickled vegetables and warm flatbread sealed for service. For lighter requests or morning departures, we compose spreads of sesame-rich pastries, clotted cream and mountain-flower honey alongside fresh-cut fruit sourced from the city's covered bazaar. Kosher catering is available with a minimum 24-hour lead time, prepared by certified suppliers within our network and delivered sealed and documented. Every menu is assembled galley-ready: portioned, labelled and arranged so the crew can serve without reorganisation.
