2. Executive Company Overview

Air Gourmet is a Los Angeles-based inflight catering specialist focused principally on the private and business aviation sector. The company prepares and coordinates aircraft catering for private passengers, corporate flight departments, flight crews, schedulers and business-aviation operators, with established operations in Southern California and Las Vegas and a San Francisco-area service relationship utilizing Jetfinity’s San Mateo operation. Its service model extends beyond prepared meals to cabin provisioning, menu customization, special dietary requirements, decatering, equipment cleaning, linens, floral arrangements, newspapers, passenger amenities and other flight-specific requests. (Air Gourmet Catering)

Air Gourmet states that it has served the business and private aviation market for approximately three decades and currently celebrates 30 years of operations. The company’s team page says Barry Saven has directed Air Gourmet’s development since 1996. The underlying California corporation was formally filed in January 1997. These dates provide stronger primary evidence than the 1989 founding date currently displayed on LinkedIn, which should therefore be treated as an unresolved historical discrepancy rather than silently normalized. (Air Gourmet Catering)

Operationally, Air Gourmet is particularly relevant to flight departments requiring catering tailored to aircraft constraints rather than conventional event catering. Its published materials reference custom menu development, specialist diets, Kosher and Halal arrangements, presentation support, aircraft decatering and coordination of cabin supplies. Historic company material also documents high-loader capability for large aircraft and familiarity with international portions and special requests. (Air Gourmet Catering)

The company maintains dedicated Los Angeles and Las Vegas contact points and lists San Francisco service through Jetfinity. It has also developed relationships with independent inflight caterers in other U.S. regions, Mexico, France and the United Kingdom and now promotes a broader Air Gourmet Global catering network.

6. Geographic Coverage

Headquarters Country: United States
State: California
City: Los Angeles
Full Headquarters Address: 8635 Kittyhawk Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90045. (BizFile Online)

Additional Locations / Service Points

Las Vegas
4330 S. Valley View Blvd., Las Vegas, NV 89103. (Air Gourmet Catering)

San Francisco / Bay Area
Air Gourmet’s website lists:

724 S. Amphlett Blvd., San Mateo, CA 94402
Phone: 866-538-3464
Email: [email protected]

That address and contact information correspond to Jetfinity, which independently describes itself as a private-jet catering company serving Bay Area airports. Therefore, PrivateJetia should classify this as an Air Gourmet-listed Bay Area service relationship / partner point, not automatically as an Air Gourmet-owned facility. (Air Gourmet Catering)

Airports Explicitly Listed by Air Gourmet

Air Gourmet publishes the following airport codes for Southern California and Nevada:

VNY, LAX, SMO, BUR, LGB, SNA, ONT, CMA, HHR, SAN, SBA, SBD, TOA, TRM, UDD, CNO, CRQ, EMT, FUL, OXR, PSP, LAS, HND and VGT. Its page also displays “CBL,” which does not cleanly correspond to a standard airport identifier in this operational context and should be treated as requiring verification. (Air Gourmet Catering)

Examples of major supported airports include:

• Van Nuys Airport — VNY / KVNY
• Los Angeles International — LAX / KLAX
• Hollywood Burbank — BUR / KBUR
• Long Beach — LGB / KLGB
• John Wayne / Orange County — SNA / KSNA
• Ontario International — ONT / KONT
• San Diego International — SAN / KSAN
• Palm Springs International — PSP / KPSP
• Harry Reid International — LAS / KLAS
• Henderson Executive — HND / KHND
• North Las Vegas — VGT / KVGT

Clark County records historically documented operating permits involving Air Gourmet / Chrisbarry Inc. dba Air Gourmet for aircraft catering at North Las Vegas Airport and Henderson Executive Airport. (Granicus)

Bay Area Partner Coverage

Jetfinity currently lists:

SFO, OAK, SJC, HWD, APC, LVK, MRY, STS and NUQ. (Jetfinity)

International Coverage

Air Gourmet states that its partner network can coordinate catering in the U.S., Europe, Asia and other international markets. Its public partner roster has included specialists in:

• Southern United States
• Northeast United States
• France
• United Kingdom
• Mexico (Air Gourmet Catering)

Operational Scope: Regional direct operations plus international partner-network coordination

7. Aircraft Expertise

Air Gourmet is aircraft-type agnostic rather than an aircraft manufacturer or maintenance specialist.

Its relevant expertise lies in preparing food and provisioning for cabin environments across private and business aircraft, including larger VIP aircraft where loading, portioning, storage, galley and reheating constraints become operationally significant.

Aircraft Categories Potentially Served

Based on the documented private/business aviation specialization, Air Gourmet’s catering may be relevant across:

• Light jets
• Midsize jets
• Super-midsize jets
• Large-cabin business jets
• Ultra-long-range business jets
• VIP / business airliners

However, Air Gourmet does not publish a current aircraft-model specialization list, and PrivateJetia should not assign individual Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassault, Embraer, Boeing or Airbus models without more direct evidence.

Documented Aircraft Manufacturers: Not specifically established as enduring commercial relationships.

Historical Air Gourmet social content referenced support at NBAA events involving Boeing, Jet Edge and SyberJet, but those references should not be interpreted as formal OEM authorization or permanent partnerships.

8. Fleet Information

Total Fleet Size: Not applicable
Owned Aircraft: Not applicable
Managed Aircraft: Not applicable
Charter Aircraft: Not applicable
Aircraft Categories: Catering may support multiple business-aircraft categories; no proprietary fleet
Average Fleet Age: Not applicable
Fleet Geographic Distribution: Not applicable

Air Gourmet is an inflight catering and passenger-service provider rather than an aircraft owner, charter carrier or aircraft management company.

Primary publicly listed operating/service locations: Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco/Bay Area service point — company website, 2026. (Air Gourmet Catering)

Annual Catering Orders: Not publicly disclosed
Production Capacity: Not publicly disclosed
Number of Meals Produced Annually: Not publicly disclosed
Funding: Not publicly disclosed

10. Certifications & Regulatory Status

Air Gourmet is a catering provider rather than an aircraft operator, so aviation credentials such as FAA Part 135, FAA Part 145, AOC, IS-BAO, IS-BAH, ARGUS or WYVERN are not inherently applicable to its core business.

Verified Aviation Operating Authorization Evidence

Clark County government records show historical General Aviation Operating Permit activity involving Chrisbarry Inc. dba Air Gourmet for aircraft catering at North Las Vegas Airport and Henderson Executive Airport. (Granicus)

Food-Safety Certifications

HACCP: Not independently verified for the U.S. Air Gourmet entity
ISO 22000: Not independently verified
Halal certification: Not independently verified for the company itself
Kosher certification: Not independently verified for the company itself

Air Gourmet does document its ability to arrange Kosher and Halal options, but fulfillment capability should not be confused with possessing an organizational Halal or Kosher certification. (Air Gourmet Catering)

No current authoritative evidence located during this research established ISO, HACCP or other formal food-safety accreditation for Air Gourmet, Inc.

11. Industry Memberships

NBAA: Air Gourmet participates extensively in NBAA industry events. NBAA’s official Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference records list Air Gourmet, Inc. as an SDC2026 exhibitor. (NBAA)

Carla Cockriel has also been described by the company as active in NBAA and as having served as a member of the NBAA Flight Attendants Committee. (Air Gourmet Catering)

However:

Corporate NBAA membership status: Not independently established from a current public membership directory.

NATA: Not independently verified
EBAA: Not independently verified
IATA: Not independently verified
GAMA: Not applicable / not verified

Participation in an association event is not automatically treated as formal membership.

14. Company History & Milestones

15. Strategic Partnerships

Jetfinity — San Francisco Bay Area

Air Gourmet lists Jetfinity’s San Mateo address, telephone and catering email as its San Francisco service contact. Jetfinity independently operates private-jet catering across nine Bay Area / Northern California airports. This appears to represent a regional service relationship rather than evidence that Jetfinity is owned by Air Gourmet. (Air Gourmet Catering)

Rudy’s Inflight Catering

Air Gourmet has historically cooperated with Rudy’s for northeastern U.S. catering coverage. (Air Gourmet Catering)

Silver Lining Inflight Catering

Documented relationship for Southern U.S./Florida coverage and joint business-aviation market initiatives. (Air Gourmet Catering)

16. Key Differentiators

1. Private/business-aviation specialization

Current company evidence supports continuous aviation-catering activity dating to approximately 1996. (Air Gourmet Catering)

3. Extensive Southern California airport coverage
The company’s published service map spans a substantial group of major and general-aviation airports across Southern California. (Air Gourmet Catering)

4. Las Vegas private-aviation presence
Long-standing catering operations are documented through both the company and Clark County aviation records. (Air Gourmet Catering)

5. Beyond-meal cabin provisioning
Air Gourmet combines food preparation with flowers, linens, cabin items, personal shopping, newspapers, decatering and related passenger-service requirements. (Air Gourmet Catering)

Founding year. There is a meaningful discrepancy:

• Air Gourmet current website: 30 years in 2026 → approximately 1996.
• Air Gourmet team biography: Barry Saven leading development since 1996.
• Air Gourmet, Inc. legal filing: January 1997.
• LinkedIn: founded 1989. (Air Gourmet Catering)

For PrivateJetia, the safest publication wording is:

“Air Gourmet traces its current operating history to approximately 1996; Air Gourmet, Inc. was incorporated in California in 1997. A LinkedIn company profile separately lists 1989, which PrivateJetia has not independently reconciled.”
