Catering to your aircraft in Prince Rupert.
The north coast of British Columbia makes for quiet, weather-led operations at CYPR. Our private jet food is packed for the galley you have, labelled by seat, and delivered to the FBO or plane-side so your crew can serve without surprises.
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.
Prince Rupert is a north coast port town, and the private jet menu we build for CYPR starts from the water: wild BC salmon, spot prawns in season, Dungeness crab, halibut, and smoked salmon from the northern coast. An inflight menu for British Columbia crews and guests often asks for the same thing twice, once as a plated dish and once as a cold platter, so we write both. Private jet food here also draws on foraged and farmed produce from across British Columbia: chanterelles, blueberries, root vegetables, and bannock for a Indigenous-inspired starter when requested. These local specialities travel well in a galley when we split sauce from protein and chill the garnish apart. For Prince Rupert, think of the private jet menu as seafood first, with a cold alternative every time. Private jet platters of smoked salmon, pickled vegetables and rye crackers sit alongside gourmet inflight meals like a seared halibut with lemon beurre blanc, packed with the sauce apart. Private jet snacks run to candied salmon, trail mix with local berries, and shortbread. These local specialities keep the northern coast on the plate at altitude.
Think of the northern British Columbia coast and you think of cold clear water: that is the logic behind the private jet menu we write for Prince Rupert. Wild salmon is the anchor, in several forms, hot-smoked, candied, grilled, or cured. Spot prawns and Dungeness crab show up in season, halibut is the firm white fish that handles a re-plate best, and berries from the interior finish the plate. The inflight menu we send to CYPR is built so each protein travels with its sauce in its own pot, since a damp ramp and a galley with one small oven leave no room for improvising. Private jet food for this region can also include bannock, wild rice, and root vegetables. Private jet platters carry smoked fish and pickles, gourmet inflight meals cover the hot plates, and private jet snacks keep the cabin going between legs. All of it counts as local specialities from British Columbia, packed for the aircraft rather than the dining room.

Wet, grey, quiet: that is the usual weather picture at Prince Rupert, and it decides what we pack. Our private jet catering for CYPR leans on cold plates and sealed hot dishes that survive a damp ramp. In-flight catering here is planned around the handling agent and the slot, with inflight catering for charters, aviation catering for operators, and cabin crew meals in a separate bag. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering orders get the same treatment, as does diplomatic flight catering when a state party transits.
A bespoke menu for CYPR starts with the aircraft and the guests, not with a template. Our private jet chef builds business jet catering that uses northern coast seafood, ships sauces apart, and keeps corporate jet catering simple for a crew working a small galley. VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering use the same method; charter flight catering for groups follows the headcount.
When a delegation transits CYPR, the menu is cleared by protocol first. Head of state flight catering, government flight catering and VIP aviation catering all use the same rule: a small named team, sealed packaging, and a clear chain from kitchen to cabin. State visit aircraft catering is built around the dietary brief supplied by the delegation.
Seafood is everywhere on the northern coast, so shellfish and fish allergens are the first thing we check on any Prince Rupert order: a kosher, halal, vegan or gluten free tray is built on its own board, in its own box, with the seat number on the lid and a card describing what is inside. For allergen free and special meals, tell us the restriction and we separate the kitchen steps, not just the label. Kids meals are plain, familiar and packed cold unless you want them warm.

Those flying into CYPR often have a long day behind them, so we offer crew catering on request, charged like any other item. Crew meals are packed in their own bags, flight crew meals sorted from guest trays, and pilot meals plated for the cockpit. Cockpit meals travel in sealed crew meal boxes, and different meals for pilots are prepared when a captain and first officer must eat apart. Cabin crew meals are marked too.
At CYPR the hand-off runs through the FBO and the handling agent, who open the gate and confirm the apron. We organise FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO, with the general aviation terminal as the staging point, and ground handling catering that respects the field's access rules. Handling agent catering is arranged around the slot.
CYPR is a small coastal airport, and most movements are business jets and turboprops, so galley catering usually goes straight from the FBO to the cabin door by hand or small cart. When a larger aircraft calls, airside catering delivery is arranged with the handling agent, and aircraft provisioning can be set up with a high loader if the sill height calls for one. Give us the aircraft type and we match the carts, cases and cabin-door handling to it.

CYPR is a coastal field serving the port town of Prince Rupert, in northern British Columbia. Weather, especially low cloud and rain, shapes operations; the general aviation apron is compact, and the terminal connects to the mainland by ferry. Business aviation here is small but steady.
Airport catering at Prince Rupert is built around general aviation: FBO services and ground handling services keep a small apron moving, and the field works as a business aviation hub for fishing lodges, resource companies and coastal charters. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for CYPR are tuned to short stops. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are written for turboprops and light jets, executive jet catering for midsize cabins, diplomatic flight catering when protocol flights land, and cabin crew meals are packed on request.
Canada controls the import of meat, dairy, fresh fruit and vegetables, and plant material through the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the border service, so food carried in on an international flight may be declared, inspected or refused at the first port of entry. Catering bought in Canada avoids that question on departure.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Menu approval at CYPR covered mushroom risotto and a green salad for 7 guests, leaving us to organise the service around two separate meal services. I appreciated the emphasis on cabin service sequence throughout the in flight catering arrangements. I asked The Galley Girls for the desserts in compact food boxes, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. Keeping the fruit plates aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
“We kept the passenger brief simple at YPR: a mezze selection with flatbreads for 2 guests, organised with a short ground stop in mind. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of side dishes with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. It was useful to see the breakfast portions listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. The order made inflight catering services feel manageable because the portion planning had been considered beforehand.”
“Having 2 guests request roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables at Prince Rupert Airport meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for limited fridge space. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the sandwiches and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the snack boxes were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. I want an inflight catering company to understand meal organisation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
A fair question for CYPR, since Canadian customs rules limit certain foods arriving on international flights and local ordering sidesteps that. What drives the cost is the protein, the number of covers, and how many dishes need a hot finish. We price by menu, so a crab and salmon lunch is a different figure from a continental breakfast.
Tell us the aircraft first. A galley with no oven means chilled platters and room-temperature snacks, while a fully equipped cabin handles a hot course with sauce apart. Late orders are fine for CYPR; the planning that matters is the galley, not a countdown.
Departures from CYPR follow the weather, particularly in autumn and winter when ceilings drop. Customs apply to what comes in from outside Canada, not to catering we prepare locally, so a Prince Rupert order is straightforward on the way out. If a window opens early or late, we reschedule the handover.
Carrying food in is possible but subject to Canadian entry rules, and fresh items are the first to be refused. For the return from CYPR, many crews order a full set of meals here instead, so the way home is covered with local salmon, halibut or a simple cold plate.
A private jet charter into CYPR covers the flight; meals are ordered from us, and billed on their own. Night and early morning departures are routine for us: we arrange access with the handling agent and hand over at the aircraft.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
