What is private jet catering?

Private jet catering is bespoke, chef-prepared food for private aviation — built around one flight, one aircraft, and one principal rather than a fixed commissary menu. At Apron Miami, your menu is written, cooked, and packed by the same kitchen team: sourced from South Florida purveyors, packed to fit your aircraft's galley, and hand-delivered to the FBO before wheels-up.

How fast can you turn an order in Miami?

Our standard turn is 2 to 4 hours from brief to aircraft at MIA, OPF, FLL, PBI, and the surrounding executive fields. Espresso runs, pastries, and single dishes are often faster. Multi-course tasting menus and caviar service use the full window. The line is open 24/7 — call any hour, any day.

Can you handle halal, kosher-style, vegan, or severe allergies?

Yes. Every flight is briefed individually — halal, kosher-style, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, shellfish-free, low-FODMAP, diabetic, or any combination. Because one kitchen team owns the entire menu, cross-contamination controls are personal, not procedural. Ingredient and allergen statements travel with every delivery.

Do you have a minimum order?

No. We've sent out a single pulled espresso and a full caviar service for eight. You're paying for the kitchen's sourcing and timing, not a cover count — order what the flight actually needs.

Who do you typically work with?

Charter brokers, executive assistants, flight attendants, pilots, operators, and principals directly. One brief by phone, email, or text — our team confirms the menu, the timing, and the FBO handoff in a single reply. One bill, one team to call.

The Kitchen

Private aviation catering is a logistics problem. We solve it with chefs.

Most jet catering passes through kitchens, brokers, and dispatchers before it reaches the aircraft. At Apron Miami it stays under one kitchen team. The chefs who take your brief write the menu, source it from South Florida purveyors, cook it timed to wheels-up, pack it for your galley, and walk it to the aircraft stairs.

Halal, kosher-style, vegan, allergen-critical — when one team owns the whole chain, nothing gets lost between the kitchen and the cabin. One brief, one bill, one kitchen.

What We Do

Fine dining, built for a galley.

Seafood plating arranged on a private jet cabin table

Chef-Driven Menus

Caviar service, omakase, dry-aged Wagyu, stone crab in season, single-origin espresso — cooked in-house, not assembled from a catalog. Whatever the principal would order at the best table in Miami, we put on the aircraft.

Galley-Fit Packaging

Every dish is packed for the galley it will fly in — Citation, Phenom, Hawker, Challenger, Gulfstream, Global, Falcon — with labeled re-therm cards so the cabin attendant serves it exactly as it left the kitchen.

Appetizers staged on the tarmac at sunset for aircraft delivery

24/7 FBO Handoff

Temperature-controlled transport and a personal, photographed handoff at the aircraft stairs — MIA, OPF, FLL, PBI and every South Florida executive field, at any hour. The same team that cooked it handles the delivery.

Aircraft Service

Built for the aircraft, not the dining room.

Packed for the galley. Labeled for the cabin. Delivered to the aircraft.

Aircraft-Fit Packaging

Packaging is selected around your aircraft's storage, galley equipment and cabin-service needs — not around a standard box. Tell us the type and we pack to the space and the oven you actually have.

Cabin-Ready Organization

Passenger, course and dietary labels on every item, with concise reheating and plating instructions so the cabin attendant serves it the way it left the kitchen.

Controlled Delivery

Temperature-conscious transport and sealed packaging, with the FBO or aircraft handoff coordinated in advance so nothing sits on a counter waiting to be found.

One Accountable Contact

You communicate directly with the chef preparing and coordinating the order. Changes on the ramp go to the person who can act on them.

Aviation Partners

One local contact for every South Florida departure.

FBOs and concierge teams

Hand us the request and stop chasing a kitchen. We confirm what's possible in one reply and arrive with sealed, labeled packaging that doesn't create work for your line staff.

Charter operators and aircraft managers

One catering contact across every South Florida field, with consistent packaging and labeling flight to flight. Recurring principal preferences stay on file.

Brokers and trip-support companies

Fast yes-or-no answers on feasibility so you can commit to a client, plus a single invoice and delivery confirmation on request.

Flight crews and cabin attendants

Food packed for the galley you're flying, labeled by passenger and course, with service notes. Call the chef directly if something changes on the ramp.
