Catering to your aircraft in Terrace.
Terrace is a working northern airport, and the people flying into CYXT need food that travels in all weather. We cook and pack for the aircraft, labelled by seat, and your handling agent takes it from the FBO to the apron.
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.
British Columbia gives a private jet menu at Terrace a strong coastal accent. Our private jet food for CYXT leans on wild Pacific salmon, smoked and fresh, plus spot prawns when the season allows. The inflight menu keeps the sauces apart and the fish chilled, so re-plating in the galley stays simple.
Local specialities from northwest British Columbia travel well: hot-smoked salmon, candied salmon, wild berry compotes, bannock with butter and jam, and Fraser Valley cheeses. Private jet platters built from these arrive chilled and portioned by seat. Gourmet inflight meals such as a seared salmon main come with the sauce in its own pot, and private jet snacks like trail mix with dried cranberries suit the long return leg. We build the private jet menu for Terrace around what your galley can finish, whether that is an oven or only a cold drawer.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
At 713 feet in the Skeena valley, Northwest Regional sees private jets come in for LNG project crews, fishing parties and mining teams, and private jet catering at CYXT has to suit all three. Inflight catering here is built around a small galley and a cold-weather terminal apron. In-flight catering for a light jet differs from a long-range heavy, so tell us the type. Aviation catering for business aviation catering trips into Terrace also covers executive jet catering for project principals and the occasional diplomatic flight catering request. Cabin crew meals come packed separately from guest trays.
Business jet catering at Terrace usually serves LNG project teams, mining executives and charter groups. Corporate jet catering here favours straightforward menus that survive cold mornings, and VIP flight catering adds a private jet chef who writes a bespoke menu around your party. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering are ordered per flight, with the CYXT slot and headcount.
Government flight catering at Terrace is rare but follows a strict procedure: the menu is cleared before anything is cooked and the team stays small. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering use named staff and sealed packaging. State visit aircraft catering is handled with the protocol office, not the kitchen, and kept discreet.
Dietary requests at Terrace are handled as a kitchen procedure: kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free and kids meals each get a separate board and a sealed box. The local trap here is seafood and nut cross-contact, since salmon, shellfish and tree nuts dominate the regional menu, so we write allergens against every dish. Special meals are marked by seat number, never by name.
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.
Crews landing at CYXT often face a long wait on the ground, so crew catering is ordered on request and billed as part of the order. Flight crew meals come in boxed form, pilot meals are packed to be eaten between tasks, and cockpit meals are kept simple. Crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, and different meals for pilots are available if the captain and first officer should not share a dish.
At the general aviation terminal in Terrace, FBO catering arrives at the door and your handling agent walks it to the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is agreed in advance with ground handling catering, so nobody waits at the gate. Handling agent catering keeps the same rule for every aircraft type.
What goes up the stairs or onto a loader at CYXT depends on the type parked on the apron. A light or midsize jet takes its galley catering through the door by hand, with a crew carrying boxes up the airstair. A larger aircraft may need a high loader for airside catering delivery, which your handling agent arranges on the apron. Tell us the type and the galley layout, and aircraft provisioning is packed to fit drawers, ovens and chillers on board.
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.

Northwest Regional Airport Terrace-Kitimat serves northwestern British Columbia from 713 feet in a river valley. Airport catering here copes with weather that turns quickly and a modest terminal that mixes scheduled and private traffic. General aviation flights pass through their own area, where FBO services and ground handling services keep the apron side separate from the main terminal.
Inflight catering and in-flight catering for CYXT follow the project calendar, with LNG construction and seasonal fishing driving most business aviation catering. Aviation catering is matched to the aircraft, executive jet catering suits principals flying in for site visits, and diplomatic flight catering appears only occasionally. Cabin crew meals and crew meals are packed apart from guest trays, FBO services and ground handling services take the handover at the aircraft, and business aviation hub traffic rises in summer.
Canadian food import rules restrict meat, dairy and fresh produce brought from other countries, so catering at Terrace is sourced locally. Any food left from an international leg may need to be declared. FBO services and ground handling services can advise on current requirements for your flight.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“My order at Northwest Regional Airport Terrace-Kitimat covered a cheese board and savoury canapés for 10 guests, with a practical service plan needed because of a family lunch request. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the snack boxes readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. That left time to check the canapés properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. For our team, the strongest part of their jet catering was how they handled crew briefing.”
“For 9 passengers departing from CYXT, the agreed menu was avocado toast components and breakfast fruit; our main consideration was a tight boarding window. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the snack boxes had been grouped. We could account for the desserts before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. I appreciated the emphasis on packing arrangement throughout the VIP flight catering arrangements.”
“Food presentation mattered to our 10 guests, but two separate meal services also had to be considered when organising mushroom risotto and a green salad at YXT. The starters supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. This experience of charter flight catering gave us a useful reference for managing written menu details on another departure. The canapés were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”
A leg back out of Terrace is priced the way any order is, dish by dish. How much does private jet catering cost here? A seared halibut dinner sits higher than a smoked salmon board, and local seafood shifts with the season. Everything is itemised.
Terrace has few departures, so a night slot can be planned precisely. Lead time depends on whether you want something simple or a hot multi-course dinner, and last-minute orders are handled either way. Tell us the departure and we confirm the plan.
Customs rules in Canada limit which meat, dairy and fresh produce can be brought in from abroad, so catering is sourced locally in British Columbia and arrives already cleared. Your handling agent controls airside access at CYXT, and we coordinate the handover with them. Anything left over from an international leg may need to be declared.
Short empty flights into Terrace can run on carried snacks, which is allowed. If the crew prefers a real meal, a pilot box packed locally is easy to order, and it avoids the customs questions that food from abroad raises.
No. Is catering part of a charter? Not here: two services on board mean two sets of dishes, and the charter price covers the aircraft only. Private jet charter into or out of Terrace stays separate from the catering order, which has its own invoice, and each service is labelled by seat number.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
