Catering to your aircraft in Sacramento.
At KSAC the cabin might be a light jet on a short hop or a larger aircraft heading for the coast. Former VIP flight attendants plan the menu around that galley, using what the valley grows, and your handling agent receives it plane-side.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.

Sacramento calls itself the farm-to-fork capital, and that is a fair description of what reaches a galley from here. The Central Valley around California's capital produces tomatoes, stone fruit, almonds, rice, olives and pistachios, so a private jet menu from Sacramento Executive is mostly built from short supply lines. For private jet food, that means fruit that is cut to order in summer, a tomato and burrata plate when the tomatoes are right, and almonds roasted for the snack basket.
Local specialities travel differently in a galley: Delta asparagus in spring is served chilled with the dressing apart, a wild rice salad holds well for a long leg, and a Dungeness crab plate in the colder months stays sealed until you open it. We write the inflight menu around the aircraft and the season, then add gourmet inflight meals, private jet platters and private jet snacks for the cabin.
What you cannot rely on is a fixed list. Almond harvest in autumn, citrus in winter and stone fruit in summer change the Sacramento private jet menu from one trip to the next, and we say so when you order. Ask for California wine pairings or Sutter County rice dishes if the passengers want the region on the plate.

KSAC is a general aviation field for the California capital, and its orders follow the capital's calendar. Our private jet catering is cooked and packed by former VIP flight attendants for that calendar: business aviation catering for corporate shuttles, executive jet catering for longer legs, in-flight catering for the way home, and diplomatic flight catering when a delegation visits the state.
Business jet catering at Sacramento Executive usually serves corporate and charter flight catering for state business, agriculture and Bay Area shuttles. Our private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the galley, whether that is corporate jet catering for four seats, VIP flight catering for a longer sector, or luxury inflight catering with a Dungeness crab course in season.
Sacramento is the state capital, so government flight catering is part of the picture at KSAC. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering follow protocol: a named team, traceable ingredients, discretion. VIP aviation catering for delegations is cleared with the protocol office before anything is cooked.
Dietary requests at KSAC are handled as a procedure, not a label: kosher meals stay sealed in their own container, halal is cooked on separate equipment, vegan and gluten free dishes are plated on their own boards, and allergen free plates are prepared apart from anything with nuts. Nuts matter here, since almonds and pistachios are everywhere in California cooking, so we flag them on the card. Special meals and kids meals are ordered with the rest and marked by seat number.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
On a layover at KSAC the crew still has to eat. Crew catering is a separate line on the order: crew meals, flight crew meals and pilot meals, packed in crew meal boxes that work in the cockpit. Different meals for pilots are available when the policy asks for them; cockpit meals travel without sauces that spill. If the cabin crew want their own trays, cabin crew meals go on the same booking, marked CREW.
FBO catering at Sacramento Executive is delivered to the FBO or the general aviation terminal and handed over to your handling agent. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering, so the order reaches the aircraft on your slot. Handling agent catering stays simple: one contact, one handover.
Loading at KSAC depends on the airframe: its door height and galley set the method. A light jet is loaded by hand through the door, while a larger cabin may need a high loader for galley catering and aircraft provisioning. Airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent, and we need the type and the galley layout to size trays, boxes and oven items correctly.

KSAC is a business aviation hub for the Sacramento area, used by corporate flight departments and charter operators. General aviation traffic here relies on FBO services and ground handling services, and airport catering fits that pattern.
Inflight catering at Sacramento Executive follows the valley's rhythm: legislative weeks, harvest, and Tahoe weekends. In-flight catering for these trips is business aviation catering, built for the galley. Executive jet catering for longer legs, aviation catering for a round trip, diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations and cabin crew meals are all handled on the same order.
Domestic departures from Sacramento Executive carry no special import checks. For international legs, agricultural rules at the arrival country apply to fresh fruit, dairy and meat, and we plan the menu and packaging around them.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Working around a changing departure schedule at Sacramento Executive Airport, I asked for prawn salad and small fruit plates in portions appropriate for our 7 passengers. I asked The Galley Girls to review the main courses quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. It was useful to see the desserts listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. With private jet catering menu, careful attention to written menu details matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”
“Timing and organisation mattered at KSAC, where our order of yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 8 people involved a changing departure schedule. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the crew provisions had been grouped. Our brief for private aviation catering was met with a sensible plan for packing arrangement. We could account for the breakfast portions before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise.”
“Between cabin checks at SAC, I coordinated fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 4 guests and explained our concerns about an evening cabin service. I appreciated the emphasis on galley preparation throughout the business jet catering arrangements. The Galley Girls updated the breakfast portions in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. The sauces remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
Price depends on what you order and where the aircraft is going next. Customs rules for the destination country decide whether fresh fruit or cured meats can stay on the menu, and those choices move the total. We quote per menu, with Sacramento products like almonds or rice dishes priced as listed.
The type decides how complicated the order is. On a turboprop or very light jet, almost everything is plated cold and travels in a single box. On a large-cabin aircraft, hot courses and several guest trays are possible, so we ask for the layout early. Last-minute orders at KSAC are handled.
Summer heat and winter fog both decide when aircraft leave here, and customs decides what can be on board for an international leg. We keep documentation for items that need it and adjust the menu if the arrival country restricts fresh products.
Food brought from outside is allowed on a private flight, but a return order makes the trip easier. We plan both legs from Sacramento Executive and pack the second set separately, so the galley stays organised.
Catering sits outside the charter price and is billed on its own. If you are leaving KSAC in the early hours, we plan around the slot and keep dishes that hold well, so cold plates and sealed items are favoured.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
