Catering to your aircraft in Havre-Saint-Pierre.
The Quebec North Shore is cold, windy and short on stops, so a galley order at Havre-Saint-Pierre matters. We build it for your aircraft and your slot, and hand it over at the FBO or plane-side.
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.

Havre-Saint-Pierre sits on the Quebec North Shore, and a private jet menu here follows the Gulf of St. Lawrence: snow crab, Minganie scallops, cod and smoked salmon. Local specialities that travel well become private jet food that survives a drawer and a small oven. An inflight menu for Quebec leans on cold plates for the first leg, and hot dishes finished in the aircraft oven.
For the Quebec coast, private jet platters of cold shellfish, smoked fish and local cheeses are the easy order, since they need no cooking. Gourmet inflight meals add a hot dish with the sauce packed apart, and private jet snacks cover the long wait on the apron: maple pastries, wild berry tarts and dried fish. Local specialities are chosen by season, so ask what the boats brought in that week.

On the Quebec North Shore, 124 feet above sea level, Havre-Saint-Pierre Airport (CYGV) sits in fishing and mining country where a business jet is a rare sight on the apron. Private jet catering here means shellfish and cold-water fish packed for the galley you actually have, with inflight catering built around the crew's duty day. In-flight catering and aviation catering for Havre-Saint-Pierre are written by former VIP flight attendants who know what a drawer and a small oven can finish. Business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering all follow the same packing, and cabin crew meals ride in their own labelled box.
A business jet catering brief at Havre-Saint-Pierre usually comes from mining and resource trips: a small group, a short stop, and a crew that wants something hot. Corporate jet catering here leans on scallops and cod. VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering all use the same packing, and a private jet chef can write a bespoke menu around the Gulf catch.
Government flight catering at Havre-Saint-Pierre is rare but handled with discretion: menus cleared by protocol, named staff, a traceable chain. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering follow the same rules, and state visit aircraft catering is packed apart from the crew order.
At Havre-Saint-Pierre the allergen to watch is shellfish, because crab and scallop sit on almost every local menu. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and other special meals are packed on a separate board and a separate box, with allergen free orders cooked away from the seafood station. Kids meals are available too, and each tray carries a seat number so nobody opens the wrong one.

At CYGV, the crew waits more than the guests do, so crew meals are a real part of the plan. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals travel in crew meal boxes, crew catering is billed as its own line, and different meals for pilots are a request, not a default.
Handling agent catering at Havre-Saint-Pierre is simple: one apron, one terminal, and a gate someone has to unlock. FBO catering and ground handling catering are coordinated so catering delivery to the FBO or to the general aviation terminal arrives where you parked.
Most aircraft that call at CYGV are light and midsize jets, so galley catering usually goes through the cabin door without a high loader. For a larger aircraft, airside catering delivery is arranged with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning follows the galley layout you give us. Tell us the type and we plan the loading around its door height.

Havre-Saint-Pierre Airport (CYGV, YGV) serves a Quebec North Shore town of fishermen and mining workers. It is airport catering for a small field where general aviation means a few business jets a season, one terminal building, and FBO services and ground handling services run by a short roster of people who know each tail.
Business aviation hub is too big a word for CYGV, yet business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering still need a place to start, and here that is the general aviation apron with its basic FBO services. Inflight catering and in-flight catering depend on the fishing season, aviation catering follows the boats, and cabin crew meals and other crew meals are packed from what the village bakery has that day. Ground handling services arrange the gate and the walk to the aircraft.
Customs in Canada control meat, dairy and fresh produce on arrival, and Havre-Saint-Pierre is not an international port of entry for large traffic, so clearance is planned with the ground handling services on the field. General aviation crews coming in from abroad should not count on their own food reaching the aircraft: FBO services can tell you what is allowed, and we build the order to avoid anything that would be removed.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Packing yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 2 passengers at YGV needed careful thought, especially given a small galley worktop. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the fruit plates had been grouped. The storage requirements stood out more than any sales pitch about in-flight catering services. Knowing where the crew provisions were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”
“Timing and organisation mattered at Havre-Saint-Pierre Airport, where our order of vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 4 people involved a family lunch request. I would discuss aviation catering with them again, especially when storage requirements needs careful coordination. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the main courses into sealed meal containers that were easy to handle. Separating the snack boxes from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“We kept the passenger brief simple at CYGV: smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit for 9 guests, organised with a small galley worktop in mind. The order made aviation catering services feel manageable because the cabin service sequence had been considered beforehand. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the salads to be packed accordingly. We left the desserts stored until needed, which kept the first service manageable and reduced unnecessary handling.”
Pricing for private jet catering in Havre-Saint-Pierre is built from what is on the tray. Wild scallops in season cost more than a chicken supreme, and a duty day stretched by waiting adds crew dishes. Send the menu and your duty plan and we quote it.
