Your comfort and safety onboard is at the heart of everything we do. We understand that travelling with a food allergy requires extra care, and make every reasonable effort to support our passengers throughout their journey. However, as aircraft cabins are shared environments and inflight catering involves complex preparation processes, we are unable to guarantee an allergen-free experience on board.
On all of our flights, foods that may contain nuts and other allergens are served. Other passengers may also bring their own food on board. For this reason, traces of allergens may be present in the cabin air or on surfaces. Unless required by applicable law, inflight announcements regarding passenger allergies are not made.
All meals, including special dietary options, are prepared in catering facilities where a wide variety of ingredients some of which may contain allergens are handled. While strict food safety standards are followed, we are unable to guarantee that any meal will be completely free from allergenic traces.
If you have a nut allergy or any other food allergy, we kindly encourage you to plan ahead. Speaking with your doctor before travel can help you prepare a proper allergy action plan. Please ensure that all prescribed medication including epinephrine auto-injectors is carried in your hand luggage, and consider bringing your own food on board, provided it does not require refrigeration, heating, or special handling.
Customers with severe allergies are warmly invited to inform us in advance so that we may offer guidance and take reasonable steps where possible. For further assistance, please contact your local Turkish Airlines office.
