Catering to your aircraft in Gravenhurst.
Muskoka fills up when the cottage season opens, and CYQA turns into a weekend apron. We cook and pack for the galley you actually fly, and hand it over at the FBO.
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.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Muskoka is lake country, and the private jet menu for Ontario's cottage region reflects it. Maple glazes, Ontario cheddar, lake trout and wild blueberries are the local specialities worth putting on an inflight menu from Gravenhurst. Private jet food from this part of Ontario travels well when it is packed for the galley: private jet platters of smoked trout and cheeses ride chilled, while gourmet inflight meals such as maple-glazed chicken finish in the oven. Private jet snacks like butter tarts, trail mix and berry bars suit a short climb out of CYQA. Summer fruit changes weekly, so the menu follows the season.
Gravenhurst and the wider Ontario lake district give the private jet menu its character: freshwater fish, local cheddar, maple syrup, wild blueberries and orchard fruit. For an inflight menu out of Muskoka, local specialities are packed by how they travel. Private jet platters carry cold smoked trout and cheese boards; gourmet inflight meals such as roast chicken with maple jus come with the sauce apart; private jet snacks cover butter tarts and berry bars. Private jet food here is seasonal, so the August table is not the October one.

Muskoka Airport sits at 925 ft in Ontario cottage country, and its apron fills when the lakes open for the season. Private jet catering here is built around lake weekends, short stays and galleys that rarely have more than a small oven. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are all handled the same way: ordered by you, cooked and packed for your aircraft, handed over at the FBO. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for CYQA follow your tail and slot, and diplomatic flight catering runs through protocol before anything is cooked. Cabin crew meals come on request, invoiced like the rest.
Business jet catering at Muskoka is mostly weekend work: owners and guests flying into Gravenhurst for the lakes, then back out. Corporate jet catering here means a light breakfast going in and a packed supper coming out. VIP flight catering, charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering all follow the same brief: a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around who is on board and which galley you have.
Government flight catering at Muskoka is rare but follows a strict path. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering go through protocol before anything is cooked, with a named team and no names on the labels. VIP aviation catering for officials is handled the same way: quiet, traceable, handed over at the FBO.
Muskoka's kitchens lean on dairy, wheat flour, tree nuts in baking and shellfish-free freshwater fish, so allergens hide in butter tarts, sauces and breading rather than in the fish itself. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free, kids meals and other special meals are cooked on separate boards and packed in their own sealed boxes, each marked with a seat number, not a name. Tell us the restrictions with the order and the labels follow your cabin plan.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
At CYQA the crew often waits out a weekend, so crew meals are planned for a long day on the ground. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and crew catering are packed in crew meal boxes, labelled CREW and kept apart from guest trays. Cockpit meals are eaten fast and one-handed; different meals for pilots are available when the operator wants them, on request and invoiced like the rest.
FBO catering at Muskoka is delivered to the general aviation terminal and handed over at the aircraft. We coordinate catering delivery to the FBO with your handling agent, so ground handling catering arrives on your slot, through the right gate, with the cold items on top. Handling agent catering is the same procedure whatever the aircraft.
Business jets at CYQA are loaded by hand or small cart, so galley catering is sized for the aircraft in front of you: a light jet's drawer is not a large cabin's. For a bigger cabin or a high-sill door, tell us the type and we arrange airside catering delivery with your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning at Muskoka is packed in the order the galley is stocked, with the cold items on top and the hot ones labelled for the oven.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Muskoka Airport serves Gravenhurst and the Ontario lake district from a 925 ft field. Airport catering here supports a general aviation and business aviation traffic that peaks in summer and thins in winter. FBO services and ground handling services handle the aircraft; we handle the galley.
Muskoka works as a seasonal business aviation hub for Ontario. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here follow the cottage calendar, while aviation catering and business aviation catering are ordered around tail and slot. Executive jet catering for owners, diplomatic flight catering for official parties, and cabin crew meals for the people working the cabin are each a separate order.
Canada restricts imported meat, dairy and fresh produce, and CYQA is no exception for aircraft arriving from abroad. Catering cooked in Ontario is the simple route; foreign-origin galley stock may need declaring or discarding, so tell us the routing when you order.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Getting vegetarian wraps and colourful salads ready for 3 guests at Muskoka Airport required an order that accounted for a short ground stop. With private jet catering, careful attention to catering handover matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. The Galley Girls labelled the crew provisions in line with our brief, so the cabin team could identify the relevant portions quickly. The main courses were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”
“Service planning came first at CYQA, with 10 passengers choosing roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings and a late menu amendment influencing our preparation. For private jet catering services, that attention to catering handover made the order noticeably easier to manage. After a final adjustment to the snack boxes, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. The sandwiches remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
“Passenger preferences led us to a cheese board and savoury canapés at YQA; 11 portions were needed, with a family lunch request factored into preparation. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the side dishes had been grouped. We could account for the starters before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. I want a private jet catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
Muskoka has no menu card with fixed numbers because the harvest changes. A July order with fresh berries and lake fish sits differently from a December order built on cheese and roasts. Private jet catering cost follows what you choose; we quote before cooking and invoice as for any order.
Domestic orders for Muskoka move simply, but if your aircraft arrives from abroad, Canadian customs rules on meat, dairy and fresh produce shape the order. Last-minute orders are handled; we confirm what can be loaded once we know where the flight started.
Muskoka's customs depends on the inbound leg and the cabin. Small galleys hold little, so there is less to declare; larger ones need a check. We pack Ontario-cooked meals, sealed and labelled, so nothing is confused with leftover foreign-origin stock.
Muskoka summers are unpredictable, with afternoon storms and morning mist on the water. Food you bring has to survive a long wait on the ground. Imported meat and dairy fall under Canadian customs rules, so check them before you pack.
No, catering is outside the charter. If you fly out of CYQA on Friday and back on Sunday, you can order the return meals now, so the weekend is planned in one go. Each order is invoiced separately.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
