Which handler or FBO do you deliver to at Aiken Regional?

We deliver to whichever handler is holding your aircraft. At the time of ordering, simply provide the handler's name and stand details and we coordinate access directly with them on your behalf.

Can you source local South Carolina produce for a flight departing Aiken?

Yes. With Augusta around forty kilometres to the east and Columbia within an hour's drive, we have reliable access to Piedmont and Midlands producers. Fresh peaches, pecans, stone-ground grits and regional charcuterie are all available subject to seasonal supply.

Do you cater kosher meals at this airport?

Kosher meals are available from Aiken with a minimum of twenty-four hours' lead time. Full certification documentation is delivered alongside the order.

What aircraft sizes do you typically cater at Aiken?

The runway dimensions here suit light jets and turboprops most comfortably, and the majority of our Aiken orders are configured for four to eight passengers. We scale every order precisely to the cabin count provided — nothing is prepared to a generic template.

Are crew meals available separately from passenger catering?

Absolutely. Crew meals are prepared as a distinct, separately labelled component of every order — hot or cold options, timed to the crew's own schedule, which may differ from passenger service.

How far in advance should a catering order be placed for Aiken?

For standard menus, four to six hours is a comfortable minimum for most light-jet configurations. Complex multi-course orders or those requiring specialist dietary preparation benefit from twelve hours or more. Kosher orders require a full twenty-four hours.

Inflight Catering · Aiken

Inflight catering for Aiken flights

Aiken sits at the quiet heart of South Carolina's Thoroughbred Country, a town defined by equestrian tradition, wide polo fields and a measured, unhurried elegance that suits the private aviation visitor perfectly. That same sensibility shapes every order we prepare for the ramp here — nothing showy, nothing superfluous, every detail considered. Augusta lies roughly forty kilometres to the east, close enough that fresh lowcountry and Piedmont produce — peaches, pecans, field greens and small-batch preserves — can reach our prep kitchen and be loaded aboard your aircraft well within the morning. Columbia, the state capital, extends our sourcing radius further when specific regional ingredients are required, keeping Aiken catering genuinely local rather than generically Southern.

Regional Catering Menu · Aiken

Aiken private jet catering

South Carolina's larder is underused in inflight catering, and we intend to change that. Locally milled stone-ground grits form the base of warm savoury courses suited to early departures; cured country ham, sourced from the Midlands, appears in composed cold boards alongside cornichon, grainy mustard and artisan bread baked the same morning. Pecans harvested from the Sandhills region find their way into pâtisserie, praline garnishes and spiced nut selections that travel exceptionally well at altitude. For longer sectors out of Aiken, we build full progressive menus — chilled starters, a structured hot main and a considered finish — packaged in oven-ready, galley-labelled containers that need no interpretation from the crew. Dietary requirements, from plant-based to gluten-free, are handled as standard. Kosher menus are available with twenty-four hours' notice and full certification documentation supplied alongside the delivery.
