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 Quebec table, packed for private jet catering

Quebec Jean Lesage International (CYQB) serves a city where the table is part of the visit, so a private jet menu here leans on what the province actually produces. Our local specialities for the inflight menu include tourtiere, Charlevoix cheeses, smoked salmon and maple in every form it survives a flight. Private jet food built around Quebec travels well because most of it is meant to be eaten cold or reheated: pate, cretons, cheese boards, sugar pie. The Quebec region also supplies wild blueberries in summer and ice cider year-round, which makes the inflight menu easy to localise without leaving the galley's limits.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport (CYQB)

Quebec Jean Lesage sits on a plateau at 244 ft, and winter here decides the catering plan as much as the aircraft does: a cold apron, deicing queues, hot plates that must stay hot. Private jet catering at CYQB is cooked and packed for the galley you have, with inflight catering that holds through a frozen ramp and in-flight catering that respects a short or long leg. Aviation catering for business aviation catering, executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering moves through the FBO, and cabin crew meals ride in the same order, on request and invoiced like the rest.

VIP flight and private jet catering at Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport (CYQB)

Business jet catering at CYQB starts with the cabin and the season. Corporate jet catering for a Quebec City meeting leans on cheeses, smoked fish and a hot course; VIP flight catering and charter flight catering add a private jet chef when the order calls for it. For luxury inflight catering we write a bespoke menu around the headcount and the galley, and a private jet chef can adapt a Quebec dish to an oven.

Cockpit meals travel in crew meal boxes, and different meals for pilots are available when the operator's policy asks for it. Cabin crew meals sit beside them on the order.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO delivery and FBO catering at Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB)

Your handling agent decides the gate; we decide what is on the cart. FBO catering at CYQB is handed over at the general aviation terminal or the apron, with ground handling catering and handling agent catering agreed before the slot. Catering delivery to the FBO stays on your tail number and your seat plan.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB)

At Quebec Jean Lesage, galley catering for larger cabins depends on the aircraft type: door height, whether a high loader is needed, and how the galley is laid out. Airside catering delivery goes through the FBO or the handling agent, and aircraft provisioning on a frozen ramp is planned around insulated carts so hot items stay hot. Once the aircraft type is known, the loading route and the door we use at CYQB are settled.

About the airportCYQB / YQB

Aviation catering and business aviation at Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB)

Quebec Jean Lesage is the airport for Quebec City, with a general aviation ramp that sees corporate jets year-round and more traffic around the Winter Carnival and autumn. Airport catering here deals with cold apron conditions and tight slots.

Business aviation

Quebec is a business aviation hub for eastern Canada, with FBO services, ground handling services and general aviation traffic that peaks around the Carnival and the foliage season. We deliver inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering, business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals to the FBO.

Customs & food import

Customs at Quebec Jean Lesage ask what food is on board when a flight arrives from abroad; animal products and fresh produce are the usual items to be held. Catering made in Quebec removes that step.

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Timing and organisation mattered at CYQB, where our order of a mezze selection with flatbreads for 5 people involved an evening cabin service. I wanted clear identification on the salads; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. We could distinguish the fruit plates at a glance instead of lifting lids just to establish what belonged to each service. I want a private jet catering company to understand final order confirmation, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

Ana X. | Chief flight attendant

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Packing a cold lunch with cheese and fruit for 8 passengers at YQB needed careful thought, especially given a family lunch request. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the side dishes, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the crew provisions before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at packing arrangement after this experience.”

Patrick B. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Small packing details became important at Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport: our 9 passengers wanted avocado toast components and breakfast fruit, and we had a changing departure schedule. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the sauces into stackable containers that were easy to handle. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about storage requirements. We placed the sandwiches in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”

Questions crews ask about QuebecAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a long leg with two services at CYQB?+

A long flight out of Quebec needs two services that both hold up: something cold and composed, then something that finishes in the oven. Price follows ingredients and seats, so a tourtiere service costs differently from arctic char. We send an itemised quote.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Quebec Jean Lesage?+

Quebec's market produce and dairy suppliers are close to the kitchen, so changes are absorbed. Give us your count, update it at any hour, and last-minute orders stay open, day and night.

What about customs when catering a delegation or government flight into Quebec?+

International catering rules in Canada are strict on animal products. A delegation arriving at CYQB should order from us rather than bring its own, because the menu is then traceable and does not need to be cleared at the border.

Can you bring food from home on a private jet, with a special-meal request?+

Special meals are the one thing worth ordering locally. A passenger with an allergy or a religious requirement gets a separate box, a separate board and a seat number. Bringing meals from abroad adds customs risk without that control.

Is catering part of a charter, with crew duty time and waiting on the ground?+

The charter price covers the aircraft; food is its own order here. With crew duty time running, a hot crew meal on request is an easy addition, invoiced like everything else.
