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.

The local tableCooked so it travels

The Inuvik table, packed for private jet catering

The Northwest Territories give a private jet menu in Inuvik a real local identity. Our inflight menu leans on what the Beaufort Delta actually produces: Arctic char, whitefish and inconnu from the Mackenzie system, muskox, caribou and bannock, with cloudberry and cranberry when they are in season. These local specialities travel well in a galley: fish and game are portioned by passenger, berries and sauces go in their own pots, bannock is packed to re-warm. For private jet food in Inuvik we build private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks around these Northwest Territories ingredients, and adapt them when the cabin heads south and wants something lighter.

A private jet menu for Inuvik is a northern one. Whitefish and Arctic char from the delta, muskox and caribou, bannock, wild berries: the local specialities of the Northwest Territories that a flight attendant can actually plate from a drawer. We write the inflight menu around the galley you have, split sauces from proteins, and keep private jet food simple enough to survive a cold apron. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks all draw on this larder, so your guests taste Inuvik rather than a generic tray.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Inuvik Mike Zubko Airport (CYEV)

Inuvik Mike Zubko Airport sits on the Mackenzie Delta at 224 ft, a gravel-and-paved northern field where the sun never sets in midsummer and never rises in deep winter. Private jet catering here is planned around that rhythm: inflight catering that survives a cold apron, in-flight catering sealed for a long leg south, and aviation catering that your handling agent can take airside. We pack business aviation catering and executive jet catering for the crew's galley, from diplomatic flight catering to cabin crew meals for a night rotation.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Inuvik Mike Zubko Airport

FBO catering at Inuvik means catering delivery to the FBO, where your handling agent takes the order from the general aviation terminal door to the aircraft. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated so the box arrives at the right door.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Inuvik Mike Zubko Airport (YEV)

Inuvik sees everything from turboprops to larger cargo and charter types, and the aircraft decides how the food gets aboard. For a heavier galley catering order we coordinate airside catering delivery with your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning follows the door height and whether a high loader is on hand. Tell us the type and we plan the load around the galley you actually have.

About the airportCYEV / YEV

About Inuvik Mike Zubko Airport (CYEV): aviation catering and general aviation

CYEV is the main airport of the Beaufort Delta. Airport catering here supports general aviation, FBO services and ground handling services, making it a working business aviation hub north of the Arctic Circle.

Business aviation

Business aviation at YEV follows the seasons: midnight sun brings tourism and expedition flights, winter brings freezing temperatures and polar night. Inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering for executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals all need to hold up in the cold.

Customs & food import

Inuvik follows Canadian border rules, which restrict imported meat, fish and dairy. The practical consequence for catering is to source domestically, declare leftovers, and keep each service labelled.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Getting beef fillet with roasted potatoes ready for 8 guests at CYEV required an order that accounted for a family lunch request. The Galley Girls labelled the salads in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. I found the fruit plates without searching through every box, a small detail that mattered during the final cabin checks. For jet catering, that attention to galley preparation made the order noticeably easier to manage.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Before our guests boarded at YEV, we needed a cheese board and savoury canapés divided into 10 portions suitable for limited fridge space. We changed the quantities of sauces, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The note about the crew provisions was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly. I appreciated the emphasis on portion planning throughout the VIP flight catering arrangements.”

Nils F. | FBO operator

Falcon 8X

★★★★★CHARTER

“Passenger preferences led us to vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection at Inuvik Mike Zubko Airport; 12 portions were needed, with limited fridge space factored into preparation. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the breakfast portions to be packed accordingly. I appreciated the emphasis on meal organisation throughout the charter flight catering arrangements. Our colleague could take over the salads without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

Connor L. | Charter operator

Asked before every CYEV slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost when the handling agent controls airside access at Inuvik?+

How much does private jet catering cost at Inuvik also depends on who walks the order airside. We hand it to the FBO or handling agent, who control the apron, so access charges come from their side. The food itself is priced per menu and per cover.

What is the lead time for an Inuvik catering order on a short repositioning flight with an empty cabin?+

For lead time on an Inuvik hop with nobody in the back, think crew only. A modest box of pilot meals and snacks is quick to plan, and we take same-day requests, delivered to the FBO or handling agent.

Do customs rules at Inuvik affect catering on a long leg with two services on board?+

Customs at Inuvik follow Canadian import rules: meat, fish and dairy brought from outside Canada can be restricted. Because we cook and pack in Canada, a long leg with two services on board starts from a compliant galley, with hot and cold items labelled by service.

Can you bring food aboard at Inuvik when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Can you bring food to Inuvik? Yes, but fresh meat and dairy from abroad may be refused at customs. For a fluctuating headcount we keep a few spare portions and adjust on the day.

Is catering part of a charter into Inuvik for a delegation or government flight?+

Is catering part of a charter into Inuvik? No. A delegation flight on a private jet charter still needs its own catering order, and we treat government and diplomatic requests with the same discretion as any other.
