Dubai is the first destination in the Middle East for the ‘Flying Chef’ concept which was launched in 2010 in a joint venture with Turkish DO&CO, the airline’s world-renowned gourmet inflight catering service and winner of ‘World’s Best Economy Class On-board Catering.’ 

Business class travellers on Dubai routes can experience culinary delights as Flying Chefs work alongside cabin crew to serve a weekly menu of the finest international and Turkish inspired cuisine. Dishes are prepared using fresh ingredients and chefs are trained specifically to work in the limited gallery space. Travellers can also request bespoke twists on the menus.   

Ayse Misirli Mirza, general manager for Turkish Airlines in Dubai, said: “Our business and comfort class seats are incredibly popular with travellers from Dubai, which reflects the high standards expected from residents in a city renowned for offering the finest hospitality. The addition of the Flying Chef Service is our way of rewarding existing and potential fliers and ensuring the finest on board experience.”
