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

Local specialities from Miami for your inflight catering

Florida food is seafood, citrus and Cuban bread, and a Miami private jet menu leans on all three. Florida stone crab claws, in season from mid-October to early May, travel chilled with mustard sauce apart; they are the one local product that changes both the menu and the price. Key lime pie comes in individual ramekins so it can be re-plated without a knife. The Miami inflight menu also carries Cuban sandwiches pressed and wrapped for the oven, pastelitos de guayaba for the morning leg, and ceviche kept chilled in its own pot.

Our private jet platters for Miami Executive are built from Florida's own larder: grilled shrimp, smoked fish dip with plantain chips, tropical fruit cut by seat. Local specialities such as medianoche sandwiches and croquetas are packed to go into the oven on arrival, while gourmet inflight meals like snapper with mojo, rice and black beans are cooked and sealed the same day. Private jet snacks include mango, guava pastries and Cuban coffee in thermal flasks. For the private jet food of South Florida, citrus and seafood come first and cream sauces stay apart, in the Miami heat.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Miami Executive Airport (KTMB)

The ramp at KTMB fills with Citations, Phenoms and the odd turboprop, and the galleys that come with them are small. Private jet catering for Miami Executive is written around that: a drawer, a small oven or no oven at all, and a flight attendant who needs trays she can re-plate in a few gestures. In-flight catering for the cabin, aviation catering for the pilots, business aviation catering for the whole trip: one order, handed over at the FBO or by your handling agent. Executive jet catering, cabin crew meals and diplomatic flight catering requests are taken day and night.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Miami for business and VIP flights (TMB)

A typical business jet catering order at Miami Executive is for four to six passengers on a light or midsize jet, leaving for the Bahamas or the northeast. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering both start with the aircraft type, because the galley decides the dishes. For charter flight catering we cook a bespoke menu, written by a private jet chef who knows what survives a drawer and what needs an oven. Luxury inflight catering at KTMB means cut fruit by seat, sauces apart and trays labelled for the person who sits there.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Miami Executive Airport (KTMB)

Government flight catering and head of state flight catering at Miami Executive are handled through protocol, not through the kitchen. VIP aviation catering for a state visit aircraft is traceable: each ingredient is logged, a named team prepares the order, and nothing is written on the labels but seat numbers. Discretion is the first rule of state visit aircraft catering, and it applies to the order as much as to the handover.

Special meals

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Miami Executive Airport

Cuban and Florida kitchens hide allergens in places a flight attendant does not expect: shellfish in the stock of the rice, peanut oil in the fryer, wheat in the croquette crumb. Special meals for Miami Executive are therefore a procedure, not a label: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are each cooked on their own board and sealed in their own box, marked with the seat number and the restriction.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Miami Executive Airport

On request, we pack crew meals for the flight deck and the cabin, billed like any other line. Flight crew meals at KTMB are cockpit meals that survive a long taxi: pilot meals with no sauce on the outside, crew meal boxes marked CREW, and different meals for pilots if each wants his own. Crew catering stays apart from the guest trays, and cabin crew meals ride in the same drawer.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Miami Executive Airport

At KTMB we do FBO catering the plain way: the order goes to the FBO, the handling agent opens the door, and the trays reach the aircraft. Catering delivery to the general aviation terminal is arranged beforehand, ground handling catering follows ramp access, and handling agent catering means one signature and one drawer.

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Miami Executive Airport

Miami Executive handles light and midsize jets, so most orders go up the airstair by hand and into a galley that is small. Galley catering is cut to that space, and airside catering delivery is planned with the FBO and your handling agent for the ramp at KTMB. Where a larger aircraft is on the order, aircraft provisioning is agreed beforehand, with a high loader if the door height needs one.

About the airportKTMB / TMB

About Miami Executive Airport: business aviation and airport catering

KTMB, formerly Kendall-Tamiami Executive, is a county-owned airport for general aviation, standing 8 feet above sea level and serving light jets, turboprops and trainers. Airport catering for Miami Executive is built around that mix: FBO services take the aircraft at the ramp, and ground handling services open the door to the order.

Business aviation

Inflight catering and in-flight catering at KTMB are mostly for light jets crossing to the Bahamas, the Keys or the northeast. Aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the season: winter brings snowbirds and stone crab, summer brings thunderstorms. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering, cabin crew meals and crew meals all go through the same line, and ground handling services see them as one ramp visit. As a business aviation hub for South Florida, KTMB stays quiet and unhurried.

Customs & food import

Food on flights leaving the United States meets no special check, but food on the way in is declared at the first airport of entry. On an international return into Florida, fresh fruit, meat and dairy are inspected and may be removed, and ground handling services at the field can tell you who walks the aircraft. For Miami we pack the outbound meal for the leg and plan the return so nothing is left over for the border.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Nothing about the 10 guest order at KTMB called for excess complexity: just roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings and sensible planning for a tight boarding window. This experience of private jet catering menu gave us a useful reference for managing packing arrangement on another departure. I wanted clear identification on the main courses; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The canapés were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Working around a small galley worktop at TMB, I asked for poached fish with steamed rice in portions appropriate for our 5 passengers. This experience of private aviation catering gave us a useful reference for managing final order confirmation on another departure. The Galley Girls updated the breakfast portions in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. The note about the sandwiches was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”

★★★★★CHARTER

“Several practical details needed attention at Miami Executive Airport, with avocado toast components and breakfast fruit requested for 8 guests and a short ground stop to accommodate. The Galley Girls prepared the snack boxes for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. It made a difference to have the salads ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. I would discuss business jet catering with them again, especially when cabin service sequence needs careful coordination.”

Miami Executive: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Miami Executive when the menu includes Florida stone crab?+

Seasonal fish moves the number more than anything else here. Stone crab, snapper and shrimp are priced by the day they are bought, while pastelitos, rice and plantains barely move. Each order is quoted on its own menu, and the quote comes before the cooking.

What is the lead time for private jet catering into Miami Executive, given US food-import rules?+

Orders for Miami Executive are simple when the dishes are local: no import declaration, no held pallet. If a client wants a product from overseas, we say so early, because customs then decides the timing; otherwise last-minute orders are taken as they come.

Which customs rules apply to catering on a light jet at Miami Executive, and how big is the galley?+

Check the galley first: with a drawer and no oven, the menu has to be cold or fully cooked. Customs then follows the leg: domestic flights need nothing, and an international arrival declares what remains on the aircraft.

Can you bring food of your own on a flight out of Miami Executive during hurricane season?+

Hurricane season at 8 feet above sea level means flights are planned around windows. You can carry your own food aboard, and many operators do, but we recommend sealed, dated items. We can add a fresh cold platter for the leg itself.

Is catering part of a charter into Miami, and can we order the return leg from here?+

No, the charter does not include it. Food is ordered separately, billed separately, and a return leg is simply another line on the order: same airport, same FBO, different box.
