Private jet catering at Jacksonville International Airport (KJAX / JAX), Jacksonville

Catering to your aircraft in Jacksonville.

Jacksonville sits where the St. Johns River meets the Atlantic, and the jets that land on runway 8 or 14 are mostly corporate crews, cruise and shipping executives, and Florida golf traffic. We cook and pack for the galley on your tail, and last-minute orders are handled.

Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Jacksonville on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at JAX

Crew meals come first in how we work, and the local table at Jacksonville starts from what a Florida kitchen does well. Mayport shrimp is the signature of the First Coast: wild-caught, sweet, in season from late summer. It travels cold on one of our private jet platters with the sauce in its own pot, or hot as shrimp and grits packed for the oven. Datil pepper, grown around St. Augustine, is the one local heat you will not find elsewhere, so it goes into glazes that stay apart until service.

A private jet menu for Jacksonville can also lean on Florida citrus, river-town barbecue and Fernandina's smoked fish. These local specialities are cooked for the galley on your aircraft, and the inflight menu is built around what the crew can re-plate with one oven and a drawer. Good private jet food here is honest Southern cooking, chilled where it should be cold and sealed where it should stay hot, with key lime and collards to finish.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Jacksonville International Airport (KJAX)

Runway 14/32 and the long 8/26 at Jacksonville International take a lot of midsize and heavy traffic, and the person who opens the galley drawer here wants food that survives a northbound cabin at 41,000 feet. Private jet catering at KJAX is written for that person: labelled, sealed and ready to re-plate. Our inflight catering is cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants, and in-flight catering for a Gulfstream is not the same job as for a Citation. Aviation catering and business aviation catering on this field follow the season: stone-crab claws in winter, Mayport shrimp when the boats are running. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations and cabin crew meals each get their own labelled box.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering for business flights from Jacksonville (KJAX)

Business jet catering at Jacksonville is usually corporate: shipping and logistics executives, finance teams from Ponte Vedra, and golf groups on Players week. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the type and seat count, and corporate jet catering, charter flight catering and VIP flight catering all follow the same rule: sealed, labelled, re-plate ready. Luxury inflight catering from Florida product is a good fit for the cabin at altitude.

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Jacksonville International Airport (KJAX)

Government flight catering at Jacksonville is rare but handled with care: head of state flight catering for visiting delegations, VIP aviation catering with protocol cleared before cooking, and state visit aircraft catering with traceable ingredients and a named team. Discretion is part of the order, and the menu is approved before the kitchen starts.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Jacksonville International Airport (KJAX)

At Jacksonville, special meals are a procedure, not a label. A kosher, halal, vegan or gluten free tray is cooked on its own board, sealed and numbered by seat. Allergen free requests are checked against Southern kitchen habits: shellfish stock, wheat in roux, peanut oil in fryers, pork in beans and greens. Kids meals are packed the same way, seat number only, no names.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Jacksonville International Airport

Crew meals at KJAX are on request, ordered with the trip and invoiced like the rest of the order. Flight crew meals for a Jacksonville turnaround are built to be eaten in the cockpit or the crew room, not over a table: crew catering that holds heat in a sealed box, cockpit meals that need only a fork. Pilot meals can be two different dishes, because the captain and first officer should not share a plate, and different meals for pilots are packed as separate crew meal boxes marked CREW.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Jacksonville International Airport

FBO catering at Jacksonville is handed over at the aircraft or at the general aviation terminal, and we work with your handling agent for airside access. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged against the slot, and ground handling catering follows the apron rules at KJAX. Handling agent catering means one name on the paperwork and one door to open.

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Jacksonville International Airport (JAX)

Galley catering at Jacksonville starts with the type: a light jet and a Gulfstream G650 do not load the same way. Airside catering delivery to a larger aircraft may need a high loader, a door height check and a plan for the galley drawers. Aircraft provisioning at JAX is confirmed against the tail so that the boxes go to the right door, not the first one open.

About the airportKJAX / JAX

About Jacksonville International Airport: business aviation and airport catering

Jacksonville International is a working business aviation hub in northeast Florida, where airport catering follows the tail and the ramp. General aviation traffic is year-round, with ground handling services and FBO services available on the field, and the airport's runways take everything from light jets to large cabin aircraft.

Business aviation

Business aviation at Jacksonville peaks around Players week, college football weekends and the hurricane-season shuffle, and inflight catering and in-flight catering follow the same calendar. Aviation catering and business aviation catering here lean on Florida product, executive jet catering fits the Ponte Vedra golf crowd, diplomatic flight catering covers state visitors, and cabin crew meals are boxed separately.

Customs & food import

Food import into the United States is regulated by agriculture authorities: fresh meat, dairy and produce from abroad can be seized, so we use domestic product for flights arriving or departing internationally. Leftovers from an international flight are treated as waste, which affects how much we pack.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Having 2 guests request smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit at KJAX meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a tight boarding window. I want a private jet catering company to understand catering handover, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the main courses, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. Knowing where the sandwiches were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Despite limited fridge space, we wanted the 6 guests at JAX to enjoy a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables without a complicated cabin service. I wanted clear identification on the side dishes; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. I found the fruit plates without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at packing arrangement after this experience.”

Dimitri I. | Chief cabin officer — private jet

Gulfstream G700

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“For 4 passengers departing from Jacksonville International Airport, the agreed menu was a mezze selection with flatbreads; our main consideration was a revised passenger count. The main courses from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. That left time to check the breakfast portions properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about packing arrangement.”

Before you order at KJAXAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost out of Jacksonville?+

Seafood season changes the arithmetic at KJAX. Atlantic shrimp costs more in summer demand, citrus-heavy cold menus cost less, and a custom chef menu costs more than a fixed platter. How much does private jet catering cost for your flight depends on those choices.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Jacksonville?+

Lead time is easier when the menu avoids imported items that would hold at customs: Florida produce, Atlantic seafood and Southern staples are sourced locally, so there is little to wait for. Last-minute orders are handled; tell us the tail and the slot.

Does customs affect catering at Jacksonville?+

On an international arrival at JAX, food waste from the flight is handled under US rules. We size the order to the galley of your type so that little remains to be declared.

Can you bring food on a private jet at Jacksonville?+

Florida weather windows move departures, and a crew stuck on the ground wants a proper meal. Bringing your own food is possible, but crew meals ordered with the trip are sealed and easier for customs.

Is catering part of a charter into Jacksonville?+

Charter and catering are two different contracts. Order food from us for the leg out of Jacksonville, and a return leg can be added to the same booking.
