Catering to your aircraft in Sanford.
Sanford Seacoast Regional is a quiet Maine field where leaf-season weekends and summer coastal traffic set the pace. We pack for your crew and galley and hand over at the FBO.
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.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Maine eats from the sea, and a private jet menu for Sanford starts there. Lobster is the obvious headline, but in a galley it needs thought: we pick the meat for cold lobster rolls, keep the butter and the toasted roll apart, and pack the dressing in its own pot. An inflight menu built around local specialities also draws on wild blueberries, which show up in muffins, tarts and compotes, and on maple from New England sugar houses for glazes and breakfast service. Private jet food in Maine tends toward honest and seasonal: corn chowder in a thermos-style container, clam cakes, smoked fish boards, farmhouse cheeses from the region. For Sanford and the wider Maine area, private jet platters carry the cold dishes, gourmet inflight meals cover the hot service, and private jet snacks keep a long leg comfortable. Tell us the headcount and the aircraft, and we write the menu to fit.
For a trip into Sanford, Maine, the local specialities are strongest from late spring to early autumn, and the private jet menu reflects that. Summer brings lobster, steamers and corn; autumn brings apples, squash and maple. We build the inflight menu around what the Maine season actually offers, then pack it for your galley: cold items chilled, hot items ready for the oven, sauces apart. Private jet food from this region reads as simple and generous, so private jet platters often carry a seafood board, local cheese and fruit. Gourmet inflight meals can be a seared fish with seasonal vegetables, and private jet snacks might be blueberry bars or maple nuts. Sanford passengers often want something that tastes like Maine, and we deliver exactly that.

Sanford Seacoast Regional sits at 244 ft in southern Maine, a field where summer coastal traffic and autumn foliage trips shape the schedule. Private jet catering here follows that rhythm: seafood in season, lighter plates for short hops, and a handover at the FBO to your crew. We also supply inflight catering and aviation catering for the whole trip, built by former VIP flight attendants who know what a small galley can hold. For business aviation catering and executive jet catering, the brief starts with your aircraft and your slot. Diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are ordered the same way, and in-flight catering for return legs can be arranged in the same call.
Corporate travellers into Sanford often arrive for a day in southern Maine. Business jet catering is built around that: lobster rolls, fresh fruit, a proper coffee service. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering suit regular crews, charter flight catering suits one-off trips, and luxury inflight catering is available when the cabin supports it. A private jet chef can write a bespoke menu for any of them.
When a state visit or official party lands at KSFM, the order is planned in advance with protocol in mind. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering and state visit aircraft catering are each packed, sealed and delivered by a small named team.
Special meals at Sanford are handled as a procedure, not a promise. Seafood and shellfish are everywhere in Maine cooking, so allergen free orders get their own board and their own box, and we ask about shellfish and nuts before anything is cooked. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals are prepared and sealed separately, and kids meals are simple and easy to serve from a small galley.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
For crews landing at KSFM, crew meals are a prestation you ask for and we invoice. Flight crew meals can be lighter on a short hop, pilot meals come as two different dishes, and cockpit meals are boxed apart from the guest service. Crew catering fits the rotation, crew meal boxes are labelled by role, and different meals for pilots are available on request. If the cabin crew want their own plates, cabin crew meals can be added to that request and invoiced with it.
FBO catering at Sanford is a handover at the general aviation terminal or at the aircraft. We arrange catering delivery to the FBO through your handling agent, and ground handling catering follows the airside rules of the field. Handling agent catering is coordinated so the crew meets one point of contact.
Aircraft at Sanford range from light jets to larger corporate types, and the aircraft decides the loading. We confirm door height, whether a high loader is needed and what the galley can take before packing begins. Galley catering is planned around your equipment, and airside catering delivery goes through your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning for a larger cabin is split into labelled boxes so the crew can load quickly.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Sanford Seacoast Regional is an airport catering customers know for its general aviation traffic, a regional field in southern Maine. FBO services and ground handling services support corporate and charter movements throughout the year.
Sanford works as a quiet business aviation hub on the Maine side of the border, and inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering orders here follow the seasons. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering are common in summer and foliage season, diplomatic flight catering is rare but possible, and cabin crew meals are ordered with every trip that needs them.
U.S. customs at Sanford treats food on international flights carefully. We lean on sealed, cooked dishes for inbound and return legs, and your handling agent is the best source for current rules.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“It was the packing plan I cared about at Sanford Seacoast Regional Airport, with 10 servings of prawn salad and small fruit plates and a revised passenger count to consider. The order made private jet catering services feel manageable because the packing arrangement had been considered beforehand. We changed the quantities of crew provisions, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. We checked the main courses against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned.”
“Clear quantities were essential at KSFM: we had 8 passengers expecting a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides and were working around different crew meal preferences. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the sauces before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The sandwiches went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. I want a private jet catering company to understand cabin service sequence, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“Good preparation made the difference at SFM, where 4 guests expected fresh fruit and breakfast pastries despite an evening cabin service. I wanted clear identification on the crew provisions; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. We could distinguish the fruit plates at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at written menu details after this experience.”
Ask yourself what the galley can hold. That answers most of how much private jet catering costs: a small jet means compact platters, a larger one means plated courses, and Maine seafood in peak summer lifts the price of either.
