Private jet catering at Palm Beach International Airport (KPBI / PBI), West Palm Beach, also listed as KDJT / DJT

Catering to your aircraft in West Palm Beach.

Palm Beach International sees its busiest ramp between Thanksgiving and Easter, when Gulfstreams and Globals stack up for the island and the Everglades heat is nothing but a rumour. We build the catering around that rhythm, and around the galley you actually fly.

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

What West Palm Beach brings to your in-flight catering (PBI)

Palm Beach and the wider Florida coast give a private jet menu a short list of things worth putting on a tray: Florida stone crab claws, served chilled with mustard sauce in a separate pot; Gulf and Atlantic shrimp; key lime pie; citrus from the Indian River; local mahi-mahi and snapper. Local specialities travel differently from each other, so each one is described by what it needs in the galley.

Stone crab is cooked and chilled before it flies, cracked so a flight attendant never has to do it on the ramp. Key lime pie goes in a cold drawer and is cut by the portion. Shrimp cocktail keeps its sauce apart. Citrus plates are cut on the morning of the flight, because Palm Beach heat softens them within the hour. This inflight menu and private jet food list shifts with the season, and stone crab disappears after mid-May.

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

Stone crab claws arrive in October and run until mid-May, and the Palm Beach ramp fills at the same pace. Private jet catering at Palm Beach International (KPBI / PBI, also filed as KDJT / DJT) is cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants for the galley in front of you. Inflight catering here covers the winter season rush, in-flight catering for the quiet summer repositioning legs, and aviation catering for crews who turn the aircraft around between a morning and an evening sector. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same method, and cabin crew meals ride on the same order when you ask for them.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in West Palm Beach for business and VIP flights (PBI)

Business jet catering at Palm Beach International (West Palm Beach, KPBI) tends to follow the season: families and corporate flight departments from the Northeast arrive in December, leave on Sunday evenings, and expect Florida produce on board. Corporate jet catering for a Gulfstream or Challenger usually means a breakfast out, a lighter lunch back, and a chilled platter for the evening leg. For VIP flight catering and charter flight catering, a private jet chef here writes a bespoke menu around what the galley can actually reheat, and luxury inflight catering stays within that limit. Crew meals are ordered with the trip on request and invoiced like the rest of the order, so the pilots eat something other than the guest trays.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Private jet catering for government and royal flights at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)

Government flight catering at Palm Beach is shaped by the fact that heads of state and cabinet-level visitors do pass through the Palm Beach corridor, and security services run the ramp when they do. Head of state flight catering is cleared against the protocol office's brief before anything is cooked, with a named team on the order and traceable ingredients. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are packed sealed, labelled by seat, and handed to the handling agent without the kitchen's name on the outside. Discretion is part of the job, not an extra.

Special meals at Palm Beach follow the kitchen we cook in: shellfish and tree nuts are everywhere on a Florida menu, so allergen free orders get a separate board and a separate box. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals are packed sealed and labelled by seat. Kids meals on this page are a real case on a family flight, so tell us the age and the aircraft.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in West Palm Beach (KPBI)

Crew meals at KPBI are ordered when you need them and invoiced like the rest of the trip. Turnarounds on this ramp are short, so flight crew meals are boxed to be eaten in the cockpit with one hand: pilot meals, cockpit meals, and different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it. Crew catering for a night departure from West Palm Beach looks different from a morning one: something hot before wheels-up, something cold for later. Crew meal boxes are marked CREW so they stay separate from the guest trays.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)

FBO catering at Palm Beach International is handed over at the general aviation terminal, to the handling agent, on your slot. Catering delivery to the FBO is arranged so the cold items stay in the cooler until the agent has airside access, which is the step that usually decides the timing here. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated with the same call: tail, slot, ramp position. We do not name the handler, we simply send the agent what they need to get through the gate.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)

Galley catering on a Gulfstream or Global is built around a small oven and a modest drawer. Aircraft provisioning on larger types, a Boeing Business Jet or an Airbus corporate jet, may need a high loader, which changes how airside catering delivery is staged on the apron. Tell us the type and we pack accordingly.

About the airportKPBI / PBI

About Palm Beach International Airport (PBI): airport catering for business aviation

Also listed as KDJT / DJT.

Palm Beach International is the main business aviation field for the island, with a dedicated general aviation side and several FBOs. Airport catering here runs on a seasonal curve, and the winter Saturday and Sunday are the pinch points.

Business aviation

Palm Beach is a business aviation hub in every sense that matters: private jet catering is the winter default, inflight catering for the Northeast shuttle, in-flight catering for the Bahamas hop, aviation catering for corporate flight departments, business aviation catering for charter operators, executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering when a visit is on, and cabin crew meals for the crew who work it all. General aviation and ground handling services here are tightly managed, and FBO services vary by terminal.

Customs & food import

Flights arriving from outside the United States clear customs with the US border agencies, and fresh meat, certain fruit and dairy are restricted on import. Catering uplifted in Palm Beach for an international departure is not a problem; catering coming back in from abroad may be seized, so plan accordingly.

★★★★☆ROYAL FLIGHT

“I wanted smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit for 5 guests at PBI, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a small galley worktop. Our brief for aviation catering services was met with a sensible plan for cabin service sequence. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of snack boxes with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. It was useful to see the side dishes listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”

Mila T. | Royal family manager

Global 7500

★★★★★CHARTER

“For 9 passengers departing from Palm Beach International Airport, the agreed menu was beef fillet with roasted potatoes; our main consideration was several individual meal preferences. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the salads, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. The cabin team could match the main courses to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. I want an aviation catering company to understand cabin service sequence, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Dev W. | Charter operator

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Between cabin checks at KPBI, I coordinated prawn salad and small fruit plates for 3 guests and explained our concerns about two separate meal services. The Galley Girls kept the side dishes separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. It made a difference to have the sauces ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. When comparing aviation catering companies, I would look closely at storage requirements after this experience.”

Before you order at KPBIAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Palm Beach?+

It depends on the season more than the menu. In January, with stone crab on the tray and the ramp full, the same order costs more than a citrus plate in July. Tell us the aircraft, the headcount and the date and we price it as a menu.

What is the lead time for catering at Palm Beach?+

If you are ordering the return leg for the aircraft coming home from Palm Beach, the 10-hour guideline holds and last-minute orders are still taken. Early morning slots need the order the night before.

What about customs when flying out of KPBI?+

A night or early morning departure does not change the customs rule: food leaving the US is fine, food coming back in from abroad may be restricted. Plan the outbound order and the return separately.

Can you bring food on board at Palm Beach?+

Yes, but it has to get airside through the handling agent, and their access rules apply. Food from outside is allowed on board; the question is who clears it at the gate.

Is catering part of a charter flying into West Palm Beach?+

The charter covers the aircraft, not the food. A short empty repositioning leg still needs crew meals if the crew want them, and that is a separate order.
