Private Jet Catering at PBI (Palm Beach International)
Chef-driven private jet catering delivered to Palm Beach International (KPBI). Season-aware planning, refined menus, and galley-ready packaging for Palm Beach departures.
Palm Beach International (PBI/KPBI) is one of the most demanding private aviation markets in the country, and the season makes it more so. From late fall through spring, ramp space tightens, departures cluster, and catering lead times get real.
Plan earlier in season
Outside season, PBI behaves like any other South Florida field: 6 to 12 hours for a full custom menu, faster on a clean brief. In season, book catering as soon as the flight is on the schedule. Short-notice turns are still possible, but the earlier brief always produces the better menu.
What Palm Beach clients tend to want
- Restraint over spectacle: precise, seasonal, beautifully plated
- Raw bar and caviar service with proper accompaniments
- Simple perfect proteins — turbot, dover sole, dry-aged beef
- Green-market vegetables and light, citrus-forward dressings
- Serious coffee, tea, and pastry service on morning departures
Household and crew coordination
Many PBI flights are coordinated by an estate manager, family office, or flight attendant rather than a broker. We work directly with whoever owns the brief, keep a standing preference file for repeat tails, and adjust the menu flight to flight without re-explaining the basics each time.
Packaging and handoff
Everything arrives galley-ready, portioned to the aircraft, labeled, and sequenced for cabin service, with re-therm notes for the crew. The chef makes the handoff at the aircraft or the FBO.
Send the tail, the PBI FBO, wheels-up, headcount, and preferences, and the menu comes back the same day.
