Turkish leisure airline Corendon Airlines has announced the addition of a doner and ayran menu for passengers on its flights between Germany and Türkiye.
Atilay Batu, Deputy General Manager of Operations at Corendon Airlines, shared the news during a meeting with journalists at the Istanbul Airport Correspondents Association’s office.
Reflecting on the company’s performance, Batu revealed plans to introduce doner and ayran—popular Turkish staples—onboard, marking a first for in-flight offerings.
‘Germans love Turkish doner’
Batu stated that the doner-ayran sales would begin on Jan. 1, 2025, with prices set at €10 for the meal combo and €8 for doner alone:
We’ve signed a new agreement with a local company in Germany. Our thought process was simple—what do people in Germany eat the most? Turkish doner stands out significantly. Both our Turkish and German passengers love it, so, we decided to offer doner on flights originating from Germany.
The agreement ensures that we’ll serve Turkish doner produced in Germany. They make it exceptionally well; I’ve tried it myself and loved it. I’m confident our passengers will be delighted with this new offering.
