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.

Regional dishes of San Francisco for jet catering at SFO

California is the pantry behind every private jet menu we write for San Francisco. Dungeness crab comes in cold and stays cold, which makes it a natural private jet platter: cracked, picked, with lemon and a sauce in its own pot. Sourdough from the Bay Area is the bread that makes a good inflight menu here, sliced for a toast board or kept whole for the cabin crew to cut.

Local specialities lean on what the Central Valley and Napa grow: burrata and heirloom tomato, Meyer lemon, avocado, stone fruit in summer. This is private jet food that asks for almost no galley work, so it suits gourmet inflight meals on a small aircraft. Gourmet private jet snacks from California are simple: marcona almonds, dried apricots, good dark chocolate.

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

KSFO crosses the bay's fog season, a busy runway pair and a long Pacific-facing departure list. Private jet catering here means food that tolerates a late push-back and still plates well. Your handling agent receives it at the general aviation terminal.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

Business jet catering at San Francisco is mostly tech, finance and Pacific Rim traffic, flown in super-midsize and large-cabin jets. Corporate jet catering here leans on freshness and restraint: VIP flight catering built around a light lunch for a short hop to Los Angeles or a full dinner for Asia. A private jet chef writes the bespoke menu, and charter flight catering follows the same method, with luxury inflight catering where the cabin asks for it.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Head of state and government inflight catering at San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

Government flight catering at San Francisco works through protocol first, kitchen second. Head of state flight catering is cleared in advance, traced ingredient by ingredient and handed over by a named team. VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering follow the same discipline: discretion at the aircraft, no names on the labels.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

San Francisco's kitchens are used to dietary lines: vegan and gluten free are everyday requests here, kosher and halal are cooked and sealed separately, and special meals and allergen free dishes are handled in a separate prep area. Nut oils and shellfish broths hide in Bay Area dishes more often than you would think, so each allergen free meal is traced ingredient by ingredient. Kids meals come plain and bright, marked by seat.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at San Francisco International Airport

On a San Francisco rotation, crew meals are added only when you ask for them, and they appear on the invoice like any other line. Flight crew meals are packed for people who eat standing in a galley, and pilot meals are built for one hand on the yoke's side of the cabin. Crew catering for a long Pacific sector includes cockpit meals that hold their temperature, crew meal boxes labelled CREW, and different meals for pilots when operator policy asks for it. Cabin crew meals can be the same menu or a lighter one.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at San Francisco International Airport

FBO catering at San Francisco is handed over where the aircraft is: the FBO or your handling agent receives the order and passes it to the crew. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with ground handling catering rules on the field, and the general aviation terminal is where most business jets are met. Handling agent catering is the simplest route when the aircraft is on a tight slot.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO)

Larger aircraft at KSFO change the loading plan: door height, high loader or no high loader, and the galley layout all decide how we pack. Galley catering for a widebody is built in carts and boxes sized to the aircraft, with airside catering delivery coordinated through your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning on a lighter jet is simpler: drawers and a cooler, handed up the stairs.

About the airportKSFO / SFO

General aviation and airport catering at San Francisco International Airport (SFO)

San Francisco International sits on the western shore of the bay, with a general aviation presence beside the main terminals. Airport catering for private aircraft is coordinated through the FBO, and FBO services here cover the handover from terminal door to aircraft. Ground handling services keep business jets moving on a field shared with a large commercial operation, and the general aviation side works as a business aviation hub for the Bay Area. Weather, noise rules and runway configuration shape how each departure unfolds.

Business aviation

Business aviation catering at SFO follows tech-sector traffic and long Pacific sectors, so the field works as a business aviation hub for the Bay Area. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for those legs are built to last, and aviation catering for executive jet catering clients stays simple: light, cold-forward, honest. FBO services and ground handling services decide where the crew meals and the cabin crew meals are handed over. Diplomatic flight catering follows the same method, with discretion.

Customs & food import

US customs and agriculture rules govern what comes on and off the aircraft. Food loaded at KSFO is domestic and carries no export complication; on return from abroad, fresh meat, produce and dairy are restricted and must be declared. FBO services and ground handling services at the field will confirm what the customs officer on duty requires, and the business aviation hub side of the airport sees the same checks as any other terminal.

★★★★☆VIP AIRLINER

“It was the packing plan I cared about at San Francisco International Airport, with 8 servings of mushroom risotto and a green salad and a short ground stop to consider. The Galley Girls suggested compact food boxes for the main courses, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. The desserts were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation. Our brief for private jet catering services was met with a sensible plan for cabin service sequence.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“As the person coordinating a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 4 passengers at KSFO, I needed an arrangement that considered a small galley worktop. The starters from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. I want a private jet catering company to understand catering handover, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The canapés were reserved for the next stage, so the worktop stayed clear while we prepared the initial dishes.”

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Choosing yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 11 people at SFO was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a small galley worktop. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at written menu details after this experience. I asked The Galley Girls to review the salads quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. It was useful to see the sauces listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require.”

The San Francisco International questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost out of San Francisco, and how do customs rules shape it?+

US customs and agriculture rules decide part of the bill here. Anything we supply for a San Francisco departure is domestic, so it carries no import complication on the way out. A citrus plate costs less than a crab board, and the final figure is written per menu, not per tray.

Does the aircraft type change the lead time for catering at KSFO?+

Aircraft type decides the packing, and the packing decides how the order is built. A turboprop and a Global 7500 are two different briefs. Send the tail and we adjust the galley plan; last-minute orders are handled, and the FBO receives the boxes.

What customs rules apply to food when fog and wind decide departures from San Francisco?+

Fog and wind at KSFO can push a departure back, and customs rules still apply to what is on board. Food loaded here is domestic and travels under agriculture rules on arrival abroad, so a later push-back does not change its status. Your destination checks foreign-arrival rules.

Can you bring food on board at San Francisco, or order a return leg from here?+

You can carry your own food, but US customs and the receiving country's rules apply, and cabin crew often prefer a sealed, labelled meal. For the way back, order the outbound and the return together from KSFO and each is handed over at your FBO.

Is catering part of a charter out of San Francisco, including night or early departures?+

No. Catering is not part of a private jet charter: it is ordered and invoiced separately, menu by menu. For a night or early-morning slot at KSFO, the order is packed to wait in the drawer until the crew needs it.
