Major Domestic Market, Gardena Depth

San Diego International Airport is the busiest single-runway commercial airport in the United States, handling over 25 million passengers in 2024 across major carriers. The market generates consistent year-round demand across a carrier mix that includes national trunk routes and West Coast regional service.

We serve SAN commercial departures from our Gardena facility, approximately 120 miles north. The delivery route runs daily on a departure-aligned schedule managed through our proprietary logistics platform, Scorpio. The distance means our SAN service draws on the full depth of the Gardena operation: the 101,000 sq ft facility, the culinary partner network, and the compliance infrastructure behind the busiest aviation markets in Southern California.

The complete chill-chain sequence runs from our facility with full documented compliance at every stage, including temperature monitoring across the 120-mile delivery route.
