Which handler do you deliver through at Rize airport?

We deliver through Celebi Aviation, the handling operator on field. If your arrangement changes, let us know and we will coordinate accordingly.

Can you source fresh local produce for a flight out of Rize?

Yes. The Eastern Black Sea region offers distinctive seasonal produce — including locally grown tea, foraged greens, and fresh coastal fish. We incorporate these into menus where lead time and availability allow.

Do you cater crew meals as well as cabin passengers?

Crew meals are a standard part of our service. We prepare them separately, label them clearly, and ensure they meet flight-time and nutrition requirements without duplicating the passenger menu unless requested.

Is kosher catering available at LTFO?

Kosher catering is available but requires a minimum of 24 hours' notice to source certified-sealed meals and ensure the chain of custody is unbroken to the aircraft door.

How far in advance should I place an order?

We recommend a minimum of four hours for straightforward orders and 24 hours or more for complex menus, dietary-certified meals, or large passenger counts. Earlier notice always allows us to source better local ingredients.

Can Altitude Dining cover connecting flights across the wider region — for example into Trabzon or Batumi?

Yes. Through our worldwide network we can coordinate catering across multiple sectors, including nearby airports at Trabzon and Batumi, under the same single-contact brief so nothing is duplicated or missed between legs.

Private jet menu for Rize

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenTurkey

To start

Cornmeal-Crusted Hamsi

Black Sea anchovy coated in fine yellow cornmeal and pan-crisped, served over a smear of strained yoghurt with pickled green chilli. A direct reference to the coast below.

Hot main

Slow-Braised Lamb with Kara Lahana

Shoulder of lamb braised low and long with black cabbage, dried tomato, and mountain herbs. Portioned and chilled for reheating in the galley — structure and flavour hold well at altitude.

Cold main

Poached Chicken with Nettle Butter Sauce

Breast of free-range chicken gently poached and finished with a sauce of blanched ısırgan nettle and clarified butter. Served cold with grain salad — clean, light, and composed for long-haul service.

Morning

Rize Tea and Honey Simit

A morning service built around sesame simit alongside local mountain honey, clotted cream, and a pot of properly brewed loose-leaf Rize tea — unhurried and entirely of the place.

Pâtisserie

Black Sea Cornbread Madeleine

A restrained take on the region's mısır ekmeği tradition: small cornbread loaves baked with butter and a touch of nigella, served warm in the cabin or at room temperature as a pre-arrival bite.

To finish

Dried Fig and Walnut Tart

A short-crust shell filled with a walnut frangipane and topped with Anatolian dried figs soaked in black tea. Finished with a thin glaze — no cream required, holds well through the flight.

Inflight Catering · Rize

Private aviation catering at RZV

The hinterland around Rize is synonymous with Turkish tea — the terraced gardens climbing above the coast produce some of the country's most distinctive leaves, harvested at altitude and steeped with quiet ceremony. That culture of patience and craft runs through everything we source from this corner of the Eastern Black Sea. The coastline also yields anchovy, hamsi, and a tradition of cornbread that predates modern tourism entirely. With Batumi just 79 km to the north-east and Trabzon 91 km along the coast, our logistics team draws on a wider regional pantry to ensure the galley reflects where you actually are — not a generic approximation of it.

Regional Catering Menu · Rize

Rize inflight catering

Black Sea cuisine is built on restraint and depth rather than spectacle. Hamsi — the small, silver anchovy central to the region's identity — appears cured, pan-fried with cornmeal, or folded into pilaf. Alongside it, foraged greens such as ısırgan (nettle) and kara lahana (black cabbage) are treated with the same seriousness as any premium ingredient, slow-cooked with butter and given space on the plate. Rize's tea gardens supply the final, unhurried note to any service we design for this sector. We source loose-leaf from local producers and present it properly — not as an afterthought. For longer sectors departing LTFO, we build menus around ingredients that hold structure at altitude: braised dishes, cured proteins, and composed cold plates that arrive in the cabin exactly as intended.
