Mezze in the Sky: A Refined Inflight Catering Journey through Turkish Flavors

In the world of luxury inflight catering, every detail matters, from sourcing the right ingredients to presenting them at the skies with elegance and precision. At Lotus Inflight, we elevate the art of Turkish mezze beyond tradition, turning it into a luxurious airborne experience designed specifically for private jet travelers.

The Mezze Experience Reimagined

Turkish mezze is much more than a starter, it's a ritual of hospitality, designed to be shared and savored. Our chefs curate a diverse selection of these small plates using the freshest seasonal vegetables, herbs from rooftop gardens, and spice blends inspired by traditional recipes.

Delicate hummus is whipped with aquafaba for a feather-light consistency. Muhammara blends smoky roasted walnuts with tangy pomegranate molasses. Grape leaf dolmas are gently hand-rolled with rosemary-scented rice, delivering the aroma of the Aegean in every bite. This is not just food,  it’s an immersion into the depth and warmth of Turkish culinary heritage.

Tailored for Altitude: Culinary Science Meets Precision

Inflight environments alter flavor perception, that’s why our mezze menu is tailored for optimal enjoyment at cruising altitude. Each dish is plated in climate-controlled porcelain and carefully packed in custom carriers to maintain freshness, texture, and integrity.

We recommend cabin crew warm select dishes at a gentle 50–55°C (122–131°F) — warm enough to enhance aroma and texture without overcooking. Cold mezze is best served at 12–14°C (54–57°F) to preserve the vibrancy of herbs and citrus. Our inflight catering specialists collaborate closely with flight attendants to ensure every detail is executed flawlessly.

Luxury in Logistics

Delivering mezze on a private jet is a feat of culinary logistics. Orders are timed precisely to align with your flight’s departure, ensuring cold-chain integrity is never compromised. We advise serving mezze approximately 30 minutes after takeoff, a window that aligns with stabilized cabin pressure and enhances the expression of bright, tangy notes like lemon and sumac.

All dishes are presented family-style, encouraging sharing and conversation. We suggest pairing your mezze with Turkish sparkling wine or fragrant mint tea, served in traditional tulip-shaped glasses to highlight aroma and authenticity.

An Elevated Expression of Turkish Hospitality

Whether entertaining business partners or indulging in a personal celebration, mezze from Lotus Inflight transforms your flight into an intimate, memorable culinary occasion. It’s a chance to connect, unwind, and experience Turkish hospitality at its most refined  even miles above the earth.
