The local tableCooked so it travels

Regional dishes of Charlo for jet catering at YCL

The Restigouche and Chaleur Bay shape the private jet menu at Charlo. This is salmon and lobster country, and both travel well in a galley when they are packed the right way: cold lobster meat in its own tray, salmon served chilled or finished in the oven. A private jet menu built around local specialities starts there, and an inflight menu for New Brunswick would feel wrong without it.

Acadian cooking adds a second thread of private jet food: meat pies, fricot and poutine rapée are heavy and homely, so we adapt them into portions that survive a drawer and a small oven. For a lighter note, fiddleheads in spring and wild blueberries in late summer give gourmet inflight meals a New Brunswick signature. Private jet platters of smoked salmon, local cheese and maple-glazed vegetables suit a short hop out of Charlo; private jet snacks lean on dried blueberries, maple candy and nuts.

Whatever the order, local specialities from New Brunswick stay recognisable when plated at altitude, and the Charlo region reads on the plate as it does on the map.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Charlo Airport (CYCL)

Charlo Airport (CYCL / YCL) handles little traffic, which makes each tail memorable and each order personal. Private jet catering for a Charlo departure follows the season: lobster in early summer, wild blueberries in August, maple in March. In-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering all come down to the same job here, a clear brief and a plane-side handover. For executive jet catering or diplomatic flight catering into this corner of Canada, we write the menu around your type and your crew's cabin crew meals.

Business aviationOur core

Business aviation catering at Charlo Airport (YCL)

A typical business jet brief at Charlo is a small party out for salmon fishing, a mining crew rotation or a corporate visit to the Restigouche. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here lean on cold seafood, a hot main and a maple finish. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same plan, with luxury inflight catering touches such as lobster and local cheese. A private jet chef can write a bespoke menu around your guest list and the galley on your type.

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at Charlo Airport (YCL)

Special meals at Charlo start with the local pantry: seafood, dairy and wheat are everywhere, and so are hidden allergens in Acadian sauces and pastry. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are prepared on separate boards, sealed, and marked by seat number so the right tray lands in front of the right passenger.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Charlo Airport

A Charlo turnaround is short, so crew meals have to be eaten quickly and quietly. We provide flight crew meals and crew catering in crew meal boxes, sorted by role. Pilot meals and cockpit meals are separate dishes, and different meals for pilots are written in when the policy calls for it; cabin crew meals follow the same labelling, on request and invoiced.

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, Charlo Airport

FBO catering at Charlo is handed over plane-side. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with your handling agent, who meets us at the general aviation terminal gate. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are the same job at CYCL: a clear name on the order, an agreed slot, and a tray in your hand.

Aircraft provisioning and airport catering at Charlo Airport (CYCL)

Charlo sees mostly light and mid-size jets, so most galley catering is carried to the aircraft door by hand. When a larger type calls, we plan the airside catering delivery around the door height and the galley layout, and arrange a high loader through the handling agent where the aircraft requires one. Aircraft provisioning at CYCL is written to the type, never to a standard trolley.

About the airportCYCL / YCL

About Charlo Airport (YCL): airport catering for business aviation

Charlo is the main airport for the Restigouche region of northern New Brunswick, and airport catering here is modest but steady. The field serves general aviation, charter operators and the occasional medevac. Business traffic is received at the FBO, where FBO services and ground handling services keep a small apron running without fuss. For a quiet business aviation hub, the order has to arrive complete.

Business aviation

What shapes Charlo as a business aviation hub is the calendar: salmon season on the Restigouche, long winter flights and unscheduled medevac calls. FBO services and ground handling services stay lean, so a catering order is coordinated early with the handling agent. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are written for light and mid-size jets. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering share one menu logic, diplomatic flight catering is kept discreet, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are available on request, invoiced like the rest.

Customs & food import

Canadian import rules apply at Charlo: CFIA restricts foreign fresh produce and animal products, and CBSA handles arrival clearance. Ground handling services will ask for the galley contents on a flight arriving from abroad, so nothing foreign should be added. Our catering is prepared in Canada and does not cross a border before reaching the aircraft, which keeps the order simple for any business aviation hub of this size.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Our priority at Charlo Airport was roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings for 4 passengers, with a late menu amendment shaping the service plan. This experience of private jet catering menu gave us a useful reference for managing storage requirements on another departure. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the sandwiches to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the desserts properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Before our guests boarded at CYCL, we needed fresh fruit and breakfast pastries divided into 5 portions suitable for a changing departure schedule. I appreciated the emphasis on packing arrangement throughout the private aviation catering arrangements. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the breakfast portions, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. Keeping the canapés identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

Natalia M. | Government flight manager

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Despite a short ground stop, we wanted the 3 guests at YCL to enjoy roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables without a complicated cabin service. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of breakfast portions with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. The quantities of sauces matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. With business jet catering, careful attention to cabin service sequence matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

What crews ask before CharloAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Charlo for a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin?+

Cost scales with ingredients, not distance flown. Charlo's short empty legs often need only pilot meals and drinks, so the invoice stays modest unless you ask for Chaleur Bay seafood or a hot main.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Charlo on a long leg with two services on board?+

Lead time is easiest when the brief is complete. For two services on one leg out of CYCL, tell us what the oven can do and what must stay chilled. We then split the order into a service that finishes in the oven and one that is re-plated cold.

What about customs when the passenger count changes at the last minute at Charlo?+

Customs at Charlo are a Canadian matter: CFIA limits on imported food, and CBSA on arrival. A change to the passenger count means new portions, not new paperwork, as long as nothing foreign is added to the galley.

Can you bring food on board at Charlo for a delegation or government flight?+

Own food is allowed, but a head of state or ministerial flight rarely uses it. The protocol office wants provenance and allergen records, which a professional supplier can supply and a duffel bag cannot.

Is catering part of a charter into Charlo when a passenger needs a special meal such as kosher, halal, allergen or child?+

Not by default. A private jet charter price rarely includes meals, so special-meal requests go in the catering order. For kosher or halal we keep the preparation sealed from start to finish; for allergen cases we ask for the full list of triggers.
