Karim Haddad covers Çukurova International Airport

When the manifest is confidential and the delegation count runs to forty, Karim Haddad cooks to the security and discretion standard the movement requires. Protocol service at COV is handled without naming the principal or the routing, and every item is packed, labelled, and logged under the tail number alone. Dietary requirements and portion adjustments are confirmed directly with the lead attendant, and the delivery is timed to the pre-flight sequence you set, whether that is two hours before departure or thirty minutes.

Background

Haddad plates each kebab skewer seconds before cabin handoff, ensuring the char remains visible and the meat rests just enough to hold its juice. Breads travel in lined baskets that trap residual heat without condensation. Salads receive dressing in separate glass vials, assembled on board so herbs stay crisp. The chef structures every tray around a single temperature mandate: hot elements arrive hot, cold components stay cold, and nothing compromises the other.

How flight operations shape the order sequence at COV

Crews working through Tarsus typically allow twenty-four hours' lead time to order private jet catering, though shorter windows are absorbed when the aircraft is already inbound and the departure slot is firm. Production is timed against the pre-flight checklist—fuelling, customs clearance, galley preparation. A private jet catering quote is issued within two hours of your first message, and any late change to passenger count or dietary requirements is worked into the run provided the delivery window holds. The kitchen briefs on oven capacity and refrigeration limits per aircraft type.

The Tarsus production kitchen — private jet catering near Çukurova International Airport
The Tarsus kitchen

Jet catering Tarsus production kitchen

COV operates under published slot coordination during peak season, and business aviation catering at Çukurova International Airport is timed accordingly. The kitchen preparing your order works to your departure window, not a fixed production cycle. Same-day requests are handled in dedicated cold rooms, with garde-manger and pâtisserie posts tasked separately to maintain pace without crossover. Each tray is sealed immediately after plating, documented for allergen protocol, and held under cold-chain control until handover. Private jet catering at Tarsus means cooking is scheduled against your slot, not the other way around.

The menu

Private jet catering menu at Çukurova International Airport

What you order for a departure from COV is prepared to the portion count you set: breakfast trays that hold through an early slot, cold plates for a long leg east, mains that reheat in a galley oven without drying out, and crew meals on the same manifest. Every item carries literal allergen labelling, and portioning per seat allows you to brief the cabin on what is loaded and where it sits in the galley.

Poached chicken breast with herb yoghurt and cucumber

Served cold, holds five hours under refrigeration, contains dairy and may contain traces of nuts.

Braised lamb shoulder with aubergine purée and roasted peppers

Reheats in a convection oven at 160°C for twelve minutes, gluten-free, contains no allergens.

Pistachio and honey baklava, individual portion

Served at cabin temperature, contains nuts, gluten, and dairy, holds eight hours without refrigeration.

Seasonal produce sourced near Tarsus
Inflight catering — Turkey

Flight catering menus at COV shaped by the season

Charter movements demand fast turnarounds; your inflight menu holds to a different standard. What arrives at the aircraft door reflects what the market gives that month—early greens in spring, stone fruit through summer, root vegetables as autumn turns. The private jet menu is written around produce bought fresh, then prepared in a dedicated kitchen and delivered airside through your FBO. Lead time and cold-chain control allow dishes that travel well and reheat cleanly, and the sequence runs to your slot, not to a published timetable.
