Private jet catering at PBIPalm Beach International.
We plan around the Mar-a-Lago TFR, screening windows, and the winter-season crush at one of the country's busiest business-jet fields.

Where we deliver at PBI.
The FBOs we work with most. Other ramps handled on request — call dispatch.
Signature Palm Beach
SIG · PBIOne of several major FBOs on a top-tier business-jet field — often cited as the second-busiest private-jet airport in the country. On-field US Customs; in winter season the ramp is at capacity, so timing and screening status drive everything.
Jet Aviation Palm Beach
JET · PBIFull-service FBO on the PBI ramp with on-field US Customs. During Mar-a-Lago TFRs, departures require TSA pre-screening — we stage catering to the screened slot, not the original ETD.
Atlantic Aviation Palm Beach
ATL · PBIMajor PBI ramp with on-field customs. When a Presidential TFR is active, TSA screening windows compress the schedule — tell us your FBO and screened departure time.
NetJets Palm Beach
NJA · PBIFractional and charter operations on the PBI ramp with on-field US Customs.
Multiple FBOs on a busy Gold Coast field — tell us which ramp your tail is on and we coordinate directly.
What we plan around at PBI.
Local constraints we build into every delivery window — curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.
The Mar-a-Lago Presidential TFR — the big one.
Mar-a-Lago is 2.1 nm from PBI, on Runway 28R's arrival path. When the President is in residence, a TFR activates: a 10 nm inner core (operations prohibited) and a 30 nm outer ring, surface to 17,999 ft. Activation is unpredictable — only when POTUS is in town; otherwise ops-normal.
TSA pre-screening when active.
During a TFR, all PBI ops require TSA screening — departures pre-screened at the FBOs (typically 0800–1700, 24-hour appointment required); arrivals must originate from a designated gateway airport, with no intermediate stops once screened. This compresses schedules; we stage catering to the screened slot, not the original ETD.
Clients reposition to escape fields.
When a TFR hits, much traffic shifts to Boca (BCT), Fort Lauderdale Exec (FXE), Opa-Locka (OPF), or Stuart (SUA), all outside the prohibited core. We follow the delivery point — confirm the actual field before staging.
Winter-season capacity.
December–April fills the ramp; drop-and-go is common. Confirm the loading leg.
Offset approach to 28R.
A 1 nm special-flight-rules area around Mar-a-Lago drives an offset RNAV approach — a crew note, no catering impact, but it signals how tightly this airspace is managed.
Around PBI.
Palm Beach flights draw on South Florida's deepest VIP sourcing — stone crab in season, Gulf and Atlantic seafood, and the restaurant culture of Worth Avenue and the Gold Coast. Most PBI menus are built around a specific restaurant request or a recurring private-chef spec, staged to the screened slot when a TFR is active.
Florida stone crab & Gulf/Atlantic seafood.
Stone crab Oct 15–May 1 — the season lines up with winter VIP traffic. Day-boat Gulf and Atlantic catch for center-of-plate and raw-bar spreads.
Florida citrus and tropical produce.
Central and South Florida citrus, tropical fruit, and seasonal produce direct from regional growers.
Palm Beach / Worth Avenue restaurant sourcing.
Want a specific dish from a named Palm Beach or Worth Avenue kitchen? Tell us where — most of our PBI menu requests start there.
Special diets.
Kosher, halal, and allergen-controlled meals on 24-hour lead — the metro market makes certified sourcing readily reachable.

FAQ
Only when the President is at Mar-a-Lago — then it's significant (screening, gateway-only arrivals). Otherwise PBI is ops-normal. We confirm current NOTAMs before every trip.
TSA pre-screening, designated departure/arrival airports, and compressed timing. We stage catering to the screened slot.
Boca, Fort Lauderdale Exec, Opa-Locka, or Stuart — all outside the core. We deliver to whichever you choose.
Brief us by 4pm the prior day; same-day from two hours — earlier if a TFR's screening window is in play.
