Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

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

Matagami on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at YNM

Matagami lies in the Nord-du-Quebec region, where the table is built on game, river fish and forest produce. A private jet menu for Quebec starts with what travels well: smoked trout, maple-glazed salmon, tourtiere and cheese curds. Our inflight menu leans on local specialities that survive a galley, and the private jet food is packed cold, hot or sauce apart as each dish requires.

Private jet platters for Matagami carry Quebec flavours: maple, wild blueberries, smoked fish, Oka-style cheeses. Gourmet inflight meals follow the same logic, and private jet snacks such as maple nuts and berry bars fill the cabin drawers. These local specialities are cooked and packed for the galley you have, then re-plated in the cabin.

Private jet catering here means planning the whole trip, return leg included, because nothing is waiting on the field. Our inflight catering and in-flight catering are written by crew who know the galley. Aviation catering and business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same brief.

Business aviationOur core

VIP flight and private jet catering at Matagami Airport (CYNM)

Most business jet catering at Matagami is planned for small teams on corporate jet trips into the Quebec north: mine and forestry managers, survey crews, a charter that stays only as long as the weather allows. Corporate jet catering here is written as a whole-trip brief, since nothing is open near the apron. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same plan, and luxury inflight catering comes from a private jet chef who builds a bespoke menu around the galley you have.

Special meals and allergen free inflight catering at Matagami Airport

Special meals are handled as a procedure, not a label. In Quebec kitchens the hidden allergens are usually dairy in sauces, nuts in maple desserts and wheat in gravies, so kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals are cooked on separate boards and boxed apart from guest trays.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Matagami Airport (CYNM)

At CYNM the meal is handed over at the FBO or to your handling agent, then goes to the aircraft at the apron. FBO catering for the general aviation terminal is arranged with ground handling catering and handling agent catering in mind: tell us who opens the door and who escorts airside, and the trays are packed with seat numbers and restrictions visible. Catering delivery to the FBO stays simple on a small field, where one handler often covers the whole ramp.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Matagami Airport

At Matagami the aircraft type decides the loading: door height, whether a high loader is needed, and the galley fitted on board. Galley catering is planned around that, with airside catering delivery coordinated through the FBO and your handling agent, and aircraft provisioning checked against the tail.

About the airportCYNM / YNM

About Matagami Airport (CYNM): aviation catering and general aviation

CYNM is a small regional field in the Nord-du-Quebec, used by corporate and charter operators. General aviation is what keeps the apron busy, and airport catering here follows the aircraft and the season, not a fixed timetable. FBO services and ground handling services are modest, which is why the meal plan is settled before wheels-up.

Business aviation

Matagami is no business aviation hub, but corporate jets serving the Baie-James region land here steadily. The same order can carry inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering, with business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering, crew meals and cabin crew meals added on request. FBO services and ground handling services on the field are small in scale, so a clear brief matters more than volume.

Customs & food import

Food entering or leaving Canada falls under CFIA rules and those of your destination, so the menu is adapted to the route and trays are sealed for inspection. For a departure from CYNM we check meat, dairy and fresh produce against the country you are flying to. Ask your handling agent how FBO services and ground handling services treat food at the ramp gate, and we pack accordingly.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Service planning came first at CYNM, with 4 passengers choosing chicken skewers with a couscous salad and a tight boarding window influencing our preparation. For flight catering, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage. We changed the quantities of starters, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. There was no need to reconstruct the side dishes quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“With a small galley worktop to consider at YNM, we needed a practical way to serve poached fish with steamed rice to 3 passengers. I appreciated the emphasis on final order confirmation throughout the flight catering services arrangements. The Galley Girls grouped the canapés by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. That left time to check the desserts properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Passenger preferences led us to a mezze selection with flatbreads at Matagami Airport; 3 portions were needed, with a changing departure schedule factored into preparation. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the fruit plates and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. The snack boxes went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround. This experience of airline catering gave us a useful reference for managing catering handover on another departure.”

Asked before every CYNM slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a Matagami departure in winter?+

Think of cost as menu by menu: smoked char and tourtiere sit higher than sandwiches and fruit. Weather windows at Matagami can shift timing, so we confirm quantities against your slot before invoicing.

What is the lead time for a return leg ordered from Matagami?+

A return leg from CYNM works best written up front, with dishes that hold on the aircraft. Lead time then depends on produce and your slot, not on paperwork; late requests are handled.

Do customs affect catering for a night departure from Matagami?+

Customs on a late or dawn flight out of CYNM depend on where you land. Send the route and we keep fresh produce, meat and dairy within what both countries allow.

Can you bring food aboard at Matagami through the handling agent?+

Yes, with the handling agent's agreement on airside access. We can pack alongside whatever you carry so nothing is duplicated.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Matagami for a short repositioning?+

No, catering sits on its own invoice. For an empty repositioning leg to Matagami, tell us who is aboard and we pack only that.
