Catering to your aircraft in Delta.
In Delta, the marine layer decides many mornings at CZBB. For crews flying out of Boundary Bay we build catering around one oven, a small drawer and a flexible slot, and we coordinate with your handling agent.
We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.

The Fraser Delta around Delta, British Columbia is farmland first, and that shapes a private jet menu for Boundary Bay. Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries come from the delta fields in season, and Pacific salmon, spot prawns and Dungeness crab are the local specialities that travel best chilled. For private jet platters we build around these: smoked salmon boards, crab salad, and a seasonal berry plate that rides in the drawer without drama.
An inflight menu from Delta works best when it is simple to serve from a small galley. Private jet food here leans on British Columbia produce: Pacific salmon fillets finished in the oven with the sauce apart, Fraser Valley cheeses, roasted root vegetables, and local honey on the dessert plate. Gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks, such as nut and dried-berry mixes, are packed to be re-plated by the flight attendant, one seat number at a time. These local specialities stay recognisable at altitude, which is the real test.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
Boundary Bay sits on the flat, open farmland of the Fraser Delta, a general aviation field where light jets and turboprops park on a small apron beside the training traffic. Private jet catering here is built for small galleys: cold plates, one-oven finishes and drawer-ready boxes, handed over at the FBO. Inflight catering and aviation catering for CZBB follow the same logic as everywhere else: the type decides the menu. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering requests are all ordered and invoiced like any other order, and cabin crew meals can be added on request.
Business jet catering at CZBB mostly means light and midsize aircraft flying in and out of the Vancouver area on short corporate legs. Corporate jet catering here is a tight brief: VIP flight catering plates that hold in a drawer, charter flight catering for four to eight seats, and luxury inflight catering with a BC accent. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around your galley, not the other way round.
When a government or diplomatic aircraft uses CZBB, the order is built around protocol, not the kitchen. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are cleared in advance, VIP aviation catering is packed sealed and labelled by seat number, and the handover happens at the aircraft with your handling agent present.
Special meals at Boundary Bay are handled as a procedure, not a promise. In the delta, where seafood, tree nuts and dairy turn up in many local dishes, an allergen free tray is built on a separate board and packed in its own box. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free requests are written on the order and cleared against the menu before anything is cooked, and kids meals are packed for small hands and small galleys.

Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
For crews flying through CZBB, crew meals are a separate order, asked for when you book and billed like any other. Flight crew meals come as crew meal boxes marked CREW, pilot meals and cockpit meals are simple to eat during a short stop, and different meals for pilots are packed in their own boxes. Crew catering at Boundary Bay keeps the cabin crew meals apart from the passenger trays.
At CZBB we plan FBO catering around the general aviation terminal and the apron it serves. Catering delivery to the FBO is confirmed with your handling agent, who opens the right door; ground handling catering and handling agent catering are one coordinated handover, labelled by seat number.
Most traffic at CZBB is light jets and turboprops, so galley catering here is usually carried aboard by hand rather than by lift. If a larger aircraft needs airside catering delivery, aircraft provisioning for a bigger galley is planned around the door height and the apron access your handling agent gives us, with the type setting the loading method.

Boundary Bay is an airport catering destination for general aviation in the Vancouver area, sitting in Delta beside the Strait of Georgia. FBO services and ground handling services are modest but reliable, and the field acts as a quiet relief to busier airports nearby.
Business aviation hub is a stretch for Boundary Bay, but the field plays a real role for private operators. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are ordered here for light jets, and business aviation catering requests for executive jet catering come from Vancouver-area owners. Diplomatic flight catering is rare but handled to the same protocol, and cabin crew meals are added on request.
Canada controls the import of fresh meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables, and CZBB is no exception. Customs clearance for a flight arriving in Delta involves the handling agent, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency rules shape what can stay aboard. Catering loaded here is cooked and sealed where possible to keep the border simple.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“An order of a charcuterie board and fresh bread for 5 people at CZBB had to be organised around a revised passenger count. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the breakfast portions could be arranged during service. The sandwiches stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. My main takeaway from this business jet catering order was the practical approach to meal organisation.”
“Packing a light pasta dish with grilled vegetables for 7 passengers at YDT needed careful thought, especially given an evening cabin service. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the crew provisions, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The galley preparation stood out more than any sales pitch about business aviation catering. Keeping the sauces identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”
“Before our guests boarded at Boundary Bay Airport, we needed poached fish with steamed rice divided into 5 portions suitable for a short ground stop. The catering handover stood out more than any sales pitch about jet catering. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the snack boxes had been grouped. Knowing where the sauces were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”
The type of aircraft decides how ambitious the order can be, and the order decides the cost. At Boundary Bay, most traffic is small, so the typical order is a few chilled platters and one oven-finished dish. Larger aircraft that stop in Delta can carry full service. Nothing is bundled with the trip: catering is its own line on its own invoice.
Think about the season first. In summer, the delta fields give us berries and tomatoes with little notice; in winter, hot comfort dishes suit the weather and are easy to arrange. Lead time is a conversation about your slot, and last-minute orders are handled by phone or email, day or night.
Customs depends on direction. Going out of Delta, catering loads under standard handling; coming back, Canadian food import rules apply to what remains aboard. For a return leg, order it separately so it is loaded fresh, and ask your handling agent about declarations.
You can, but it is rarely simpler. A night departure from CZBB means a quiet field and few places open in Delta, so bringing your own food puts the sourcing, the packing and the allergen checks on the crew. Having it handed over at the FBO already labelled by seat is the cleaner route, and customs rules still apply to personal food.
No, the charter does not cover it. A private jet charter from Boundary Bay gives you the aircraft; the galley contents are your own line. We handle the order, deliver it airside through your handling agent, and invoice it by itself.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
