An estimated two million Döner Kebabs are consumed in Germany each day and soon this Turkish snack will be available on flights between Germany and Turkey on Turkish carrier Corendon Airlines.
Corendon Airlines Will Serve Döner Kebab Onboard Flights From Germany To Turkey
Döner kebab is a dish of Turkish origin made of meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Seasoned meat stacked in the shape of an inverted cone is turned slowly on the rotisserie. The sliced meat of a doner kebab may be served on a plate with various accompaniments, stuffed into a pita or other type of bread as a sandwich, or wrapped in a thin flatbread
When I lived in Germany, I had a “Dönerbude” right around the corner from my apartment and I quickly fell in love with this Turkish-German delicacy. It’s wryly referred to as the hangover cure, but I enjoyed many lunches and early dinners there…
Corendon Airlines, a Turkish leisure airline based at Antalya Airport with destinations across Europe, will introduce döner kebab for purchase next month, with a sandwich costing 8€ and served with ayran, a savory yogurt drink.
A Corendon Airlines spokesperson explained:
“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. 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.”
If successful, Corendon plans to introduce this popular sandwich on more routes.
Carsten Spohr, the CEO of Lufthansa, is so worried about money that maybe he should try serving this…At 8€, I’m certainly a customer! I’m not sure I’ll fly Corendon just for the döner, but I’d love to give it a try!
If LH served this street food , then LH will have stepped upon it’s own foot .
This would be akin to a warmed-up greasy falafel . Or , a warmed-up taco .
You really have such a myopic view of food from other cultures.
@Aaron … Actually , I use a magnifying glass .
Whatever you are using, you need a refund.
“It’s wryly referred to as the hangover cure, but I enjoyed many lunches and early dinners there…”
So you did a lot of day drinking, oder?
Please allow me to be pedantic… The European Union’s Interinstitutional Style Guide states that the euro sign should be placed in front of the amount without any space in English. So it’s €8.
I’ve never been to Germany, but the French version is a weak competitor to the US gyro or the Aussie kebab.
German kebab is overrated. I’ve heard people rave about it but then I actually encounter one and it’s too bready and sandwich-like. I much prefer the Australian evolution with the Lebanese bread.
Try a Yufka instead.
I love yufka.
I saw the headline and the description and then the photo of the Doner and all I could think of was the Donner Party. Then I thought of a bicycle club whose jersey’s read, “The Donner Party, We Eat The Slow Ones.” I’m sorry. I’m sure it’s fine, but please bring me another drink and I’ll pass on lunch.
