Private jet menu for Istanbul

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenTurkey

To start
Charred Aubergine Mezes
Flame-blistered aubergine blended to a smooth purée, finished with pomegranate molasses, toasted pine nuts, and a thread of aged olive oil. Served chilled with flatbread crisps.
Cold main
Bosphorus Sea Bass with Herb Oil and Sumac
Poached fillet of sea bass from the Marmara coast, served cold with a bright herb oil of dill and flat-leaf parsley, finished with a scattering of ground sumac.
Hot main
Slow-Braised Lamb with Dried Apricot and Pine Nut
Shoulder of Anatolian lamb braised low and long with cinnamon, allspice, and dried apricot, finished with toasted pine nuts and served over a saffron-scented pilaf.
Morning
Simit and Kaymak Board
Sesame-crusted simit alongside a generous portion of clotted kaymak, regional floral honey, and a selection of cured Thracian meats. A morning board that requires no explanation.
Pâtisserie
Pistachio Baklava
Layers of hand-stretched filo packed with coarsely chopped Antep pistachios, soaked in a light citrus-scented syrup rather than the cloying versions found in transit catering.
To finish
Chilled Fig and Almond Tart
A short-crust shell filled with almond frangipane and topped with sliced fresh figs from the Aegean hinterland, glazed lightly and served at cabin temperature.

Private aviation catering at ISL

Istanbul sits at the crossing point of continents, and its larder reflects that position with unusual generosity. The Bosphorus yields sea bass and bluefish; Anatolian plains supply pistachios, figs, and a saffron-tinged spice culture that has no real equivalent elsewhere in Europe or the Middle East. Our sourcing team draws on relationships with suppliers across the city to ensure that what arrives on board speaks honestly of the place the aircraft is departing from. The surrounding region extends that range further. The Sea of Marmara coastline, reachable from ISL without the distances that larger metropolitan airports impose, contributes white mullet, cured meats from the Thracian interior, and the dense, floral honeys for which the region is quietly celebrated among discerning kitchens. Every order we place is timed to the slot, not prepared in advance and held.

Regional Catering Menu · Istanbul

Istanbul inflight catering

Turkish cuisine resists simplification, and we do not attempt to simplify it. Our kitchen team composes dishes that sit comfortably in a galley environment without compromising the integrity of the original: slow-braised lamb with dried apricot and toasted pine nut; chilled mezes of charred aubergine and roasted red pepper dressed with pomegranate molasses; a cold fillet of Bosphorus sea bass with herb oil and a scattering of sumac. These are not approximations — they are properly made dishes that travel well because they were designed to. For passengers preferring a more continental approach, our standing repertoire — charcuterie, fine cheese selections, seasonal fruit, and European-style pastry — is available at every departure. Kosher orders are fulfilled to strict certification with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. Crew meals are treated as a distinct brief: hot, substantive, and timed to turnaround rather than passenger service.
