Business description
*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]"> Business Overview The flagship of the business is its in-flight and corporate catering division, which has operated for over three decades, providing meal preparation and delivery to private and corporate aviation clients across a network of regional airports throughout the tri-state area. The division holds recurring regional catering relationships, an experienced management team that runs day-to-day operations, and a trained part-time workforce already in place — making this a genuinely turnkey acquisition. The second division is a full-service, chef-driven destination restaurant and front-of-house operation — a recognized local draw with airfield views that has grown into a significant, expanding revenue contributor in its own right. Both divisions operate from a single, purpose-built facility housing two dedicated commercial kitchens — one serving the catering and in-flight operation, the other the restaurant — offering operational efficiency, shared infrastructure, and clear runway for a new owner to expand catering coverage and corporate-event volume across the region. Key Highlights 2026 Net New Regional Corporate Contract- Est. $2m revenue in next 12-16 months Specialized Aviation Service Model – Fully dedicated to serving corporate and private aircraft. Strategic Airport Network – Access to multiple regional and metropolitan airports along the Northeast corridor. Operational Excellence – Streamlined kitchen and delivery operations supported by experienced culinary and logistics teams. Strong Brand Recognition – Preferred catering partner for repeat aviation clients, VIP travelers, and corporate travel departments. High Margins & Recurring Revenue – Consistent demand with premium pricing and strong repeat business. Growth & Expansion Opportunities The business is positioned for meaningful growth under new ownership. The catering division currently serves a portion of the private and corporate aviation traffic across its regional footprint, leaving room to deepen existing airport and FBO relationships and extend coverage to new locations. Corporate and event catering offers a natural avenue to build additional volume, and the growing restaurant division provides further upside through expanded private events, hours, and catering crossover. With the owner active in an oversight capacity, an owner-operator or dedicated general manager could accelerate these opportunities while the experienced team keeps day-to-day operations running smoothly. Investment Considerations Scarcity Value – Few competitors operate in this niche at comparable quality and scale. Proven Systems – Established operational procedures designed specifically for aviation catering. Loyal Client Base – Long-standing relationships with repeat customers and key decision-makers within aviation services.
