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

The Prince George table, packed for private jet catering

A private jet menu for Prince George starts with northern British Columbia itself: wild salmon, game, Okanagan-adjacent fruit that reaches the interior, birch syrup and honey from the Peace and Cariboo country. These local specialities travel well in a galley when they are cooked for it. The private jet food we pack here is built for the cold and the long sit on the apron, so the inflight menu leans on dishes that finish in the oven or hold chilled. Prince George and British Columbia give you ingredients with real provenance; we turn them into plates that re-plate cleanly at altitude.

For British Columbia's interior, the private jet menu follows the season: spring greens, summer saskatoon and huckleberry, autumn game, winter root vegetables and smoked salmon. Prince George guests tend to want something that tastes of the place without needing a kitchen on board, so the inflight menu pairs local specialities with simple finishing steps. Private jet food for CYXS is packed by seat, sauced apart, and marked for the crew who will plate it.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Prince George (International) Airport (CYXS)

Prince George sits on the Fraser River in the middle of northern British Columbia, and its forestry and mining traffic sets the pace for business jets at CYXS. Private jet catering here is built around cold-weather galleys and fuel stops that turn into meal stops: inflight catering that holds through a delay, in-flight catering that reheats cleanly, and aviation catering packed for the aircraft you actually fly. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for CYXS follow the same logic as diplomatic flight catering: label it, seal it, hand it over at the aircraft. Cabin crew meals ride in their own box, apart from the guest trays.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Prince George for business and VIP flights (YXS)

Business jet catering at Prince George is usually written around a mining, forestry or energy trip: a short crew, a few guests, an aircraft that has been sitting in the cold. Corporate jet catering here favours hot mains that finish in the oven and cold plates that wait in the drawer. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same pattern, with luxury inflight catering for guests who want something that tastes of British Columbia. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the seat plan, and that is how CYXS orders get simple.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Prince George (International) Airport

Government flight catering at CYXS follows protocol, not menus alone: names stay off the labels, seat numbers stay on, and the team who pack it are the team who hand it over. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are cleared by protocol before anything is cooked. State visit aircraft catering at Prince George means discreet handling at the FBO and no public mention of the order.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Prince George (International) Airport (CYXS)

At Prince George, we pass catering to the FBO or your handling agent at the aircraft. Catering delivery to the general aviation terminal is planned with ground handling catering in mind: passes, escort and apron access agreed in advance. FBO catering and handling agent catering stay one conversation, not three.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Prince George (International) Airport

Larger aircraft that call at CYXS may need a high loader for galley catering, and we plan airside catering delivery around that: your type decides the door height, the galley position and whether the trolleys go up by lift or by hand. Aircraft provisioning on a cold apron also means insulated carriers and a clear sequence, so nothing waits in the wind. Tell us the type and we plan the loading to match.

About the airportCYXS / YXS

Aviation catering and business aviation at Prince George (International) Airport (YXS)

Prince George (CYXS / YXS) is the main airport for northern British Columbia, at 2,267 feet on the Fraser plateau. It serves general aviation and business jets alongside scheduled traffic, and airport catering here has to account for winter, wind and distance from major produce markets.

Business aviation

CYXS is a business aviation hub for the interior. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for corporate flights are packed to survive a cold apron. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering at Prince George sit alongside diplomatic flight catering, and cabin crew meals stay in their own box. General aviation and FBO services here are quiet and efficient.

Customs & food import

Canada controls the import of meat, dairy, fresh fruit and vegetables, and food that arrives on an international flight may not be re-used. For uplift at CYXS we source in-country; for onward flights, check the destination's food-import rules. Ground handling services at Prince George can confirm what the terminal expects.

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Having 6 guests request a cheese board and savoury canapés at YXS meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a late menu amendment. Our brief for airport catering was met with a sensible plan for catering handover. The Galley Girls understood why we wanted the canapés readily accessible instead of spread across several different boxes. Our colleague could take over the fruit plates without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Small packing details became important at Prince George (International) Airport: our 3 passengers wanted a selection of petits fours and sandwiches, and we had a changing departure schedule. The order made inflight catering feel manageable because the cabin service sequence had been considered beforehand. The Galley Girls updated the snack boxes in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. There was no need to reconstruct the side dishes quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”

★★★★☆CHARTER

“Packing yoghurt pots and fresh berries for 11 passengers at CYXS needed careful thought, especially given a small galley worktop. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the canapés clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. There was enough information about the desserts to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered. I would discuss in-flight catering with them again, especially when crew briefing needs careful coordination.”

Citation Latitude

Prince George (International): the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a special-meal request at Prince George?+

Pricing for private jet catering at CYXS follows the menu you choose. A diet-specific plate, like a sealed kosher main or a nut-free dessert, adds a line; a standard hot main from the local menu adds another. Ask for a quote with your diet cards attached and we price each plate, so a special-meal request never hides in an average.

What lead time does private jet catering at CYXS need when crew duty is running out?+

When a crew is waiting on the ground with duty hours running down, the order has to be simple to place. At CYXS that means a short menu, a clear handover point at the FBO and a seat plan we can pack from. Last-minute requests are handled; what makes them easy here is a type we know and a menu that suits the galley.

What about customs when the departure slot is tight at Prince George?+

When the slot is short, customs rules are what decide whether a plate stays on board. At Prince George we source in-country so the order is simple, and we pack by leg so nothing needs to be re-inspected. Ask your handling agent about onward restrictions before the departure slot closes.

Can you bring food on board at Prince George, or does a local product have to go on the menu?+

Bringing your own food is possible, though crews often prefer it to come from us: labelled, sealed and matched to the galley. One local product, such as venison or huckleberry, makes a menu feel of the place. At CYXS we build the order around it.

Is catering part of a charter flying into Prince George, and what about customs?+

No, the two are separate. Private jet charter into CYXS is one contract and catering is another order, invoiced on its own. Because Canadian customs limits what food can be brought in from abroad, we pack for each leg from in-country ingredients.
