Listed ground handler at Kayseri Erkilet (LTAU/ASR). AC-U-KWIK has a dedicated LTAU/Celebi Aviation station page and CAPA lists Celebi among ASR ground handlers. SHGM registry (13.01.2026) lists Celebi Hava Servisi A.S. as one of three nationally licensed A-group (full) handlers in Turkey, so full ramp/passenger/load-control scope is supported (the original 'supervision/representation only' caveat is too narrow).

Jet A-1 into-plane fueling at ASR. CAPA lists THY OPET among Kayseri Erkilet fuel & oil suppliers; THY OPET (THY/OPET 50-50 JV) has provided supply and into-plane services Turkey-wide since 2010; Jet A-1 confirmed available at LTAU. Other suppliers also appear in directories (Air BP, Shell, OMV, Skytanking) but THY OPET is the corroborated into-plane operator.

Airside crew/passenger transport is part of Havas station handling (AC-U-KWIK 'Airside Crew Transport').
