Which handlers do you work with at MQM?

We deliver to whichever handler is managing your aircraft. Rather than requiring you to use a specific FBO, we coordinate directly with whoever holds the ground slot, keeping the process straightforward for operators and crew.

Can you source ingredients that reflect the local region?

Yes. Mardin's markets offer genuinely distinct produce — pomegranate molasses, local olive oil, stone-ground grains, regional spices — and we build menus around what is actually available and in season rather than importing generic alternatives.

Is kosher catering available at Mardin?

Certified kosher meals can be arranged with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. Please specify the requirement at the time of inquiry so sourcing and certification can be confirmed before departure.

How is catering packaged for inflight use?

All items are delivered galley-ready: individually sealed and labelled, with hot and cold items held at correct temperatures, and courses sequenced for stowage. Crew do not need to repack or reassemble anything.

Can you cater a multi-leg itinerary that includes other south-eastern Turkish airports?

Yes. We operate a worldwide network and coordinate across multiple legs through a single point of contact. If your routing takes you onward through Diyarbakır, Batman or other regional airports, we handle each uplift as part of one managed brief.

Do you cater crew meals as well as cabin orders?

Crew meals are a standard part of every brief we handle at MQM. We treat them with the same sourcing and preparation standards as cabin catering, recognising that crew performance depends on eating properly on long operational days.

The chef's menu at MQM

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenTurkey

To start

Syriac-style kibbeh with walnut and dried fruit

Lamb and fine bulgur shells filled with spiced mince, toasted walnuts and barberries, baked rather than fried, and portioned for single-serve galley plating. A preparation specific to the Mardin Syriac tradition.

Hot main

Pomegranate-braised lamb shoulder with saffron rice

Bone-out shoulder slow-braised in local pomegranate molasses, served over lightly spiced saffron rice with toasted almond and fresh herbs. Seasoned to account for taste perception at altitude.

Cold main

Roasted aubergine and tahini with flatbread and mezze

Smoke-roasted aubergine blended with tahini, garlic and lemon, accompanied by walnut-stuffed vine leaves, local white cheese and regional olive oil. Travels well at cabin temperature.

Morning

Herb-cheese börek with spiced tomato

Crisp filo pastry filled with local herb-cured cheese, baked fresh and packaged to retain texture. Served with a small pot of slow-cooked spiced tomato. Suited to morning departures or brief mid-flight service.

Pâtisserie

Semolina and rose-water cake with pistachios

A dense, syrup-soaked semolina cake fragrant with rose water and finished with whole Antep pistachios. Portioned individually and stable for the duration of a regional flight.

To finish

Dried fig and walnut selection with Mardin honey

A curated finish of sun-dried figs, fresh walnuts and a small ceramic of raw plateau honey from the Mardin uplands. Unpretentious, regionally grounded, and requiring no additional preparation.

Inflight Catering · Mardin

Mardin private jet catering

Mardin sits on a ridge above one of the oldest continuously inhabited landscapes on earth, where Aramaic, Arabic, Kurdish and Turkish culinary traditions have layered themselves over millennia. The market gardens and spice traders of the old city produce ingredients — pomegranate molasses, dried herbs, stone-ground bulgur, local olive oil — that carry a flavour profile found nowhere else in the region. Sourcing from producers close to MQM means that what arrives in the galley reflects where you actually are, not a generic interpretation of Turkish cuisine. The surrounding plateau connects Mardin to a cluster of historically and commercially significant cities within a two-hundred-kilometre arc. Diyarbakır to the north-west, Batman to the north, and Şanlıurfa to the south-west are all within reach for repositioning passengers, and our kitchen schedules account for those connections — ensuring that orders timed around regional routing are as precisely handled as a single-sector departure.

Regional Catering Menu · Mardin

Inflight catering menu for Mardin

Mardin's kitchen is defined by its position at the intersection of Anatolian and Mesopotamian food cultures. Slow-braised lamb with sour pomegranate and toasted almonds, mırra-spiced rice, and kibbeh prepared in the traditional Syriac manner represent the kind of dishes that reflect genuine regional provenance rather than airport-standard approximations. Mezze boards built around local cheeses, walnut-stuffed vine leaves, and roasted aubergine with tahini travel well and suit the rhythms of inflight dining. For morning departures, savoury pastries filled with herb cheese or spiced minced lamb — baked rather than reheated — alongside fresh-cut seasonal fruit and good Turkish coffee set the tone. All items are portioned, chilled or hot-held to precise galley specifications, with packaging chosen for the realities of service at altitude rather than for presentation at a table.
