Private jet catering at Newport News Williamsburg International Airport (KPHF / PHF), Newport News

Take one local product: Virginia oysters. On ice, shucked or not, they cost more than a country ham board and fewer guests will eat them, which moves the quote. Add hot dishes for the crew and it shifts again. We price each menu line, not a flat tray, and the invoice shows every line. Send the tail, the covers and the dishes you want.

Customs rules in the United States push us to source everything locally, which keeps lead time simple at Newport News. Foreign-origin meat and produce on the aircraft can be taken at arrival, so we never rely on it. An early brief widens the menu, and last-minute orders are handled with what the kitchen holds that day.

Customs treat leftover galley food from international flights as controlled waste, so it is usually removed at arrival. A light jet with a small galley turns around easily; a larger cabin holds more to declare. We deliver fresh, locally cooked in-flight catering so nothing imported rides in the drawer, and your FBO team deals with the waste paperwork.

You can, but fresh food ordered for a slot that slips is the problem. When Chesapeake weather moves a departure, a hot dish ordered for the original slot may sit waiting. We can hold, re-plate or re-slot a handover with your FBO. Outside food on international legs may be removed by customs, so we suggest ordering locally.

No. A private jet charter covers the aircraft and crew; food is ordered separately and invoiced on its own. If the return leg departs KPHF, we can prepare that second meal with the first, packed for the galley and handed over at the FBO, then invoiced like any other order.
