Turkish Airlines has renewed all of their inflight menus with new and delicious options, featuring the flavors of Türkiye, as well as world cuisines. The carrier will source 80 percent of the ingredients from local producers, with a focus on fresh seasonal ingredients.
On Thursday (May 11, 2023), Turkish Airlines announced the renewal of their inflight menus across domestic and international flights in Business and Economy Class cabins. The new onboard menus will feature both the traditional flavors of Türkiye, as well as world cuisines. For the new menus, Turkish airlines will source 80 percent of the ingredients from local producers, with a focus on fresh seasonal products. Some local specialties will include Rize tea, Afyon kaymak (cream), Erzincan honeycomb, among many others. Designed with healthy nutrition trends in mind, the menus are prepared daily by expert chefs in a boutique production style, using specially designed cooking techniques.
In Thursday’s announcement, Turkish Airlines’ Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat, said,
“As the flag carrier that offers the world's finest flavors to its guests through privileged concepts, we have prepared a menu that features traces of both traditional Turkish cuisine and world cuisines in our renewed menus. With this new concept, we have also initiated practices aimed at reducing plastic use and packaging waste within the scope of Turkish Airlines’ Sustainability principle. While presenting Turkish flavors to our guests, we have also aimed to upload our paper menu cards to digital platforms for the sake of sustainability, allowing future generations to experience these tastes as well. We hope that our new menus will be appreciated by our guests, and we believe that we will continue our award-winning leadership in the field of inflight dining.”
