Private Jet Catering Antalya (LTAI / AYT): Riviera Resorts and Summer Peaks
Private jet catering in Antalya follows the sun of the Turkish Riviera. Antalya (LTAI / AYT) is the gateway to Belek's golf resorts, the beaches of Lara and Kemer, the ancient cities of Side and Aspendos and the coves further west towards Kaş. Global Diners prepares the Global Diners menu for departures from Antalya, Dalaman (LTBS / DLM) and Bodrum (LTFE / BJV), with halal menus as standard practice and delivery coordinated with your FBO or handler.
This guide is written for crews and flight departments planning a Turkish Riviera season: the resort calendar and summer peaks, Turkish flavours that shine on board, how to plan family and group departures, and how to connect the coast with Istanbul (LTFM / IST), the rest of Europe and the Gulf.
Resorts, golf and the summer peak
Antalya's season runs from April to November, with the warmest months from June to September. Belek, to the east of the airport, is one of the Mediterranean's best-known golf destinations, with championship courses beside large resort hotels. Lara and Kemer offer beach resorts close to the city, while Side, Alanya and the coast towards Kaş attract families and villa guests. Spring and autumn bring golfers and culture lovers; summer brings families and large groups.
Season | Typical missions | Global Diners suggestion |
April to May | Golf weeks in Belek, spring breaks | Light lunches, mezze platters and fresh fruit |
June to August | Family holidays, groups, celebrations | Generous sharing menus, children's options and chilled desserts |
September to October | Golf, late-summer stays, autumn sun | Grilled dishes, salads and seasonal pomegranate and figs |
November to March | Winter sun, training camps, business trips | Warm soups, kebabs and comforting Turkish dishes |
In July and August, many departures are concentrated around weekends and hotel changeover days. Ordering 24 hours ahead lets our team plan quantities and delivery times with your FBO.
Turkish flavours that shine on board
Turkish cuisine is one of the world's great kitchens, and its variety makes it ideal for business flights. Many dishes are designed to be shared, served at room temperature or reheated gently, and halal practice is the natural standard.
Mezze: hummus, haydari (strained yoghurt with herbs), ezme, stuffed vine leaves and smoked aubergine, served with warm pide bread.
Antalya piyazı: the city's own white bean salad with tahini, a local speciality that travels beautifully.
Grills: şiş kebab, köfte and chicken skewers, packed for reheating with sauces apart.
Gözleme: thin filled flatbreads with spinach and cheese, a lovely light lunch.
Fresh citrus and pomegranate: Antalya is famous for its oranges, and pomegranates arrive in autumn.
Desserts: baklava, künefe and Turkish delight, with Turkish coffee or tea after the meal.
Ayran, fresh juices and Turkish tea are popular non-alcoholic choices. Wine and champagne can be added on request, subject to local rules, and our alcohol-free menus are simple to arrange. Kosher menus are also available.
On the Turkish Riviera, a table of mezze is a welcome in itself: a few dishes to share, warm bread, fresh fruit and a glass of tea before landing.
Families, groups and celebrations
Antalya is a family destination above all, and many summer flights carry children, grandparents and friends together. Our team plans these departures with variety in mind: simple pasta and grilled chicken for younger travellers, mezze and grills for adults, fresh fruit for everyone and a dessert that feels like the last moment of the holiday. For more ideas, read our guide to children's meals on private jets.
Weddings and celebrations on the coast also bring groups of aircraft arriving and departing together. In these cases, one itinerary covering every aircraft allows our specialised team to prepare a dedicated quote for each tail and to coordinate deliveries with the FBO in a single plan.
Connecting the Turkish coast
Antalya is often one stop in a longer journey. Guests may continue to Dalaman for the yacht harbours of Göcek and Fethiye, to Bodrum for its marinas and beach clubs, or to Istanbul for business before flying home. For the Istanbul leg, see our Istanbul halal menus and Turkish cuisine guide.
Send the full itinerary with airports, FBOs, local times and passenger counts.
Choose light, chilled menus for short coastal hops of under an hour.
Plan full meals with reheating guidance for flights to Europe, the Gulf or beyond.
Mention dietary needs once; every item carries an allergen label.
The Global Diners client portal is coming very soon. It is designed to bring the Global Diners menu, order requests, confirmations and documents into one space for crew, operations and finance. Until it opens, every request goes through order@globaldiners.com.
Practical notes for Antalya departures
Antalya has a dedicated general aviation terminal; share the FBO or handler with every order.
Give delivery times in local time and confirm passenger numbers, including children.
Keep hot dishes chilled until reheating; summer heat makes the cold chain essential.
Order 24 hours ahead, especially for weekend departures in July and August.
With these habits, Antalya departures become a natural highlight of a Turkish Riviera journey, combining generous local flavours with calm, well-organised service.
Event-Season Private Jet Catering at Antalya (LTAI / AYT)
Antalya is the hub of Türkiye's Mediterranean resort coast, serving Belek's golf hotels, the city itself and the coastline running towards Kemer, Side and Alanya. Its private traffic swells from late spring to autumn, when villa and resort guests arrive in waves on weekends. Spring brings a diplomatic forum and golf season, autumn a film festival, and the Bayram holidays send domestic travellers south at the same moment. In these windows, place catering orders ahead of the standard 24 hours, confirm numbers early, align the delivery time with the handler and select formats that stay fresh in heat, such as chilled mezze and sealed individual boxes.
Event | When | Where |
Antalya Diplomacy Forum | March or April (varies) | Belek |
Belek golf seasons | March to May and September to November | Belek |
Summer resort season | May to October | Antalya, Belek, Kemer, Side and Alanya |
Aspendos Opera and Ballet Festival | Summer (varies) | Aspendos Roman theatre, near Serik |
Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival | Autumn (varies) | Antalya city |

Antalya Diplomacy Forum at Antalya (LTAI / AYT): March or April (varies)
The Antalya Diplomacy Forum gathers heads of state, ministers and international organisations for several days of talks at a resort complex in Belek. Government and VIP aircraft concentrate at Antalya in a short window. Confirm catering well in advance, send protocol and dietary requirements early, and plan formal presentation for principals alongside discreet crew meals. Halal, kosher and allergen-aware menus are available on request.
Holiday dates and festival programmes on the Antalya coast change every year, so please confirm the current timings with our team when you place your order.
Things to do around Antalya (LTAI / AYT)
Antalya combines beaches, mountains and ancient cities within a short drive. Konyaaltı and Lara beaches line either side of the city, while the Düden waterfalls drop directly into the sea. Belek is the region's golf centre, and Kemer, backed by the Taurus Mountains, offers marinas and coves. A cable car climbs Tahtalı Mountain for views over the coast. Boat trips and gulet cruises explore the Lycian shoreline, and rafting takes place in the Köprülü Canyon. The ancient cities of Perge, Aspendos and Side, as well as Phaselis by the sea, make rewarding excursions from the city.
Culture and heritage near Antalya (LTAI / AYT)
The region was settled by Lycians, Greeks and Romans, and its ancient sites are among the best preserved in the Mediterranean. Kaleiçi, Antalya's walled old town, contains Hadrian's Gate, built in honour of the Roman emperor's visit in 130 AD, and the fluted Yivli Minaret. The Antalya Museum displays statues from Perge and finds from across the region, and the Aspendos theatre still hosts performances today.
Also nearby: Dalaman (LTBS / DLM)
Dalaman Airport lies inland from the south-western Turkish coast and serves some of the country's best-known yachting waters. Göcek, with its marinas and sheltered bays, is a short drive away and is a major base for gulet and superyacht charters. Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, Dalyan and Marmaris attract villa guests, families and boating holidaymakers, while Bodrum lies further north. Private traffic is strongly seasonal, running mainly from May to October, with a peak in July and August, and closely tied to charter changeover days.
The Dalaman region is made for days on the water. Gulets and private yachts explore the twelve-island bays of Göcek, the coves around Fethiye and the inlets of the Marmaris peninsula. Ölüdeniz's lagoon is one of Türkiye's most photographed beaches, and paragliding from Babadağ gives views over the whole bay. Near Dalyan, boats travel through reed channels to İztuzu Beach, a protected nesting site for loggerhead turtles, and to mud baths and hot springs. The Saklıkent gorge offers a cool walk in summer, and the Lycian Way is a long-distance trail with sections suited to half-day hikes.
