Four locations, each built for its market. The operating model is consistent. The operational character adapts to what each environment demands.

Air Fayre operates airline catering locations at Los Angeles, Memphis, Indianapolis, and Portland, with seven Southern California airports served from a single flagship facility. Every location runs on the same technology platform and the same compliance infrastructure. Every location was built for its market.

Our National Network
Flagship Operations
LAX
Gardena, CA

Expansion Template
PDX
Portland, OR
Newest market. American Airlines as launch client. Local culinary partnerships and logistics infrastructure deployed in months, proving the model scales to new regions at speed.
Southern California: Seven Airports from One Facility
One operation. One platform. Seven Southern California airports.
From our 101,000 sq ft Gardena facility, we serve LAX and six regional airports across the Southern California aviation market. Airlines operating across multiple SoCal stations work with one catering partner, one contract, and one compliance infrastructure rather than managing separate relationships at each airport.
Long Beach (LGB)
Regional commercial gateway five miles from Gardena. Growing carrier mix serving the South Bay market.
Orange County / John Wayne (SNA)
Commercial catering for the Orange County aviation market. Same operation, same standards, different runway.
San Diego (SAN)
Major domestic market. Full provisioning from the Gardena facility for one of California's busiest airports.
Palm Springs (PSP)
Desert resort market. Seasonal and regional departures provisioned year-round from the SoCal location.
Santa Barbara (SBA)
Central Coast regional and VIP/charter. A growing private aviation market served from the Gardena operation.
Ontario (ONT)
Inland Empire growth market. Domestic commercial and cargo operations expanding alongside the region's economy.
How Air Fayre Enters New Markets
The split-catering model changes what market entry looks like. Traditional catering market entry starts with facility construction: 18 to 24 months and significant capital before the first flight is served. Our model starts with the capability that already exists.
Culinary Partner Sourcing
We identify and qualify food production partners in the local market who meet our specification standards. The culinary partner network is ready to produce before the first departure is serviced.
Technology Deployment
Scorpio deploys to the new location before operations begin, integrating with airline flight data and configuring galley specifications. Every location runs the same platform version as our Los Angeles flagship.
Staffing and Training
We build the local operations team through staffing partnerships and direct hiring, applying the same ramp safety certification, chill-chain compliance training, and operational onboarding used at every location.
Compliance Certification
Every location standup includes full ramp safety certification and operational compliance onboarding to network-wide standards. Compliance does not flex for new markets.
The Playbook Works
Indianapolis demonstrated that the model works for international cargo carriers. A new service type, a new client profile, stood up at an existing location without disrupting the commercial operation already running there. Portland demonstrated that it deploys to entirely new regions in months. A new market, a new culinary partner network, a new operations team, operational before a traditional caterer would have broken ground on a facility.
Two different proofs. Same model. The next market gets an even more established playbook behind it.
Next: Your Market
The model is proven at scale in Los Angeles, in 24-hour cargo operations at Memphis, across commercial and international service types at Indianapolis, and in rapid market entry at Portland. When your network grows, your catering partner is already in motion
