What lead time do you require at CEC?

For most orders, 12 hours is sufficient. Bespoke menus, larger passenger loads or specialist dietary requirements — including kosher, which carries a strict 24-hour minimum — benefit from earlier notice. We will always advise honestly if a request falls outside our safe preparation window.

Which FBO or handler do you deliver to at Crescent City?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft. Let us know at the time of ordering and we will coordinate directly with them on timing, access and galley handover.

Can you source local produce for flights departing Crescent City?

Yes. The Del Norte and Humboldt County coastline offers Dungeness crab, wild-caught salmon and locally grown produce. We incorporate these into your menu where seasonally appropriate and always handle with the short cold-chain that remote coastal sourcing demands.

Do you cater crew meals as well as passenger meals?

Crew meals are a standard part of every uplift we provide. They are prepared separately, clearly labelled and priced transparently. Crews operating long legs from CEC particularly benefit from hot, structured meals rather than snack boxes.

What if my aircraft requires catering at a nearby airport instead of CEC?

Our network extends to Arcata/Eureka, Medford, Redding and the wider Northern California and Southern Oregon corridor. If your routing changes, notify your single point of contact and we will redirect or coordinate a fresh uplift at the revised destination.

Is inflight catering available for early-morning or late-night departures?

We operate 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Departure time does not affect availability — only lead time for the kitchen affects what can be prepared. Early-morning flights are well suited to our cold continental and morning menus, which require less preparation time without any compromise on quality.

Inflight Catering · Crescent City

Crescent City private jet catering

Del Norte County operates at its own unhurried pace, defined by old-growth forest, cold-water fisheries and a coastline that has hardly changed in centuries. That isolation is precisely what draws discerning travellers here, and it shapes everything we source: Dungeness crab pulled from the nearshore waters, wild-caught salmon, and foraged ingredients that reflect the temperate rainforest at the airport's doorstep. Because Crescent City is a genuine frontier on the aviation map, we treat every uplift as a bespoke logistical exercise. Our single point of contact manages sourcing, preparation and delivery in coordination with whichever handler holds your aircraft, so nothing is left to chance at a field where alternatives are limited.

Regional Catering Menu · Crescent City

Inflight catering menu for Crescent City

The Northern California coast between the Oregon border and the Lost Coast is among the most productive cold-water fisheries in the contiguous United States. We lean into that reality: Dungeness crab in a light tarragon cream, house-cured wild salmon with crème fraîche and pickled cucumber, and Humboldt-grown microgreens that travel the short distance from farm to galley with their structure intact. These are not decorative gestures — they are the honest expression of a very specific place. For guests preferring a more continental register, our kitchen draws on the broader Northern California larder: single-origin olive oils from the Sacramento Valley, artisan cheeses from small creameries, and stone-fruit preserves that anchor both savoury boards and pâtisserie. Kosher catering is available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. Every menu is confirmed through one contact, and queries receive a reply within ten minutes.
