Which handler or FBO will you deliver to?

We deliver to whichever handler is managing your aircraft at KSBA. Simply confirm the handler name and tail number when you place the order and we coordinate the rest directly with their ground team.

Can you source ingredients locally from the Santa Barbara area?

Yes. The Santa Barbara and Santa Maria coastal plain produces strawberries, avocados, stone fruit, and wine-country provisions that we incorporate into menus when in season. Local sourcing is confirmed at the time of order, subject to harvest availability.

Do you cater Kosher meals at Santa Barbara?

Kosher menus are available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. This lead time allows us to secure properly certified provisions and maintain unbroken cold-chain handling through to delivery.

What aircraft sizes does the runway at SBA support for catering purposes?

The main runway at KSBA suits light-to-midsize jet operations. Our service kits are configured accordingly — compact, galley-ready, and designed for efficient placement in smaller cabin formats.

Can you handle last-minute crew meal requests?

Crew meals are available on shorter notice than full passenger menus. Contact our desk with as much lead time as possible and we will confirm what can be prepared to the standard your crew expects.

Do you serve other airports near Santa Barbara?

Yes. Our network covers the wider Central Coast corridor, including operations at Oxnard, Santa Maria, and San Luis Obispo, as well as further afield into the Los Angeles basin and the Central Valley.

Inflight Catering · Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara private jet catering

Santa Barbara's agricultural calendar is one of California's most productive — strawberries and avocados from the coastal plain, stone fruit from the inland valleys, and some of the Central Coast's most respected wine grapes grown within a short drive of the airport. When we source for an SBA uplift, those ingredients arrive in the galley at their actual peak, not adjusted for a long supply chain. The broader corridor stretching toward Oxnard to the south and Santa Maria to the north amplifies that larder considerably. Artisan cheesemakers, small-batch olive oil producers, and sustainably farmed seafood operations all sit within reach of KSBA, meaning a provisioning order here can carry a genuinely local signature without compromise.

Regional Catering Menu · Santa Barbara

Inflight catering menu for Santa Barbara

California coastal cooking at its most considered is the natural register for an SBA itinerary: citrus-cured Pacific halibut, avocado preparations that go beyond the obvious, chilled soups built around whatever the farmer's market yielded that morning. Our culinary team treats the Central Coast pantry as the brief, not an afterthought. Santa Ynez Valley Pinot Noir and Chardonnay pair with exceptional honesty alongside lighter preparations — a cold seafood board, a grain salad with preserved lemon and fresh herbs. Where clients request Kosher menus, we ask for a minimum of 24 hours' notice to ensure certification and cold-chain integrity are both maintained without compromise.
