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.

Rimouski on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at YXK

The Bas-Saint-Laurent is a seafood and dairy region, and the private jet menu for Rimouski reflects it. Shrimp from the Gulf of St. Lawrence travels well chilled and is a natural fit for private jet platters. Smoked salmon and smoked eel from the Quebec river fisheries suit a cold inflight menu, plated at altitude with lemon and rye. Local cheeses from Quebec dairies, sold as small rounds, make good private jet snacks beside maple-glazed nuts. Tourtiere and pate chinois are the hot local specialities; both come out of the oven and re-plate well, and they make gourmet inflight meals that feel regional rather than generic. Rimouski sits in a maple country, so maple syrup, butter tarts and sugar pie close the private jet food service with a recognisable Quebec note. Every item is cooked in Quebec and packed for the aircraft's galley, with sauce apart where it matters.

For private jet food at Rimouski, we start from the river. Gulf shrimp, smoked salmon and smoked eel from Quebec's fisheries anchor the cold side of the inflight menu, while tourtiere, pate chinois and a fish pie cover the hot side. Quebec cheese rounds, rye crackers and maple nuts become private jet snacks for a short sector. Sugar pie and maple tart finish a gourmet inflight meals service in a way guests from outside Quebec remember. These local specialities appear on the private jet menu for Rimouski with a service tag, so the cabin attendant knows what comes out of the oven and what stays chilled.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Rimouski Airport (CYXK)

A turboprop shuttle, a fishing-lodge charter and the odd government rotation all use the single field at Rimouski, Quebec. For those flights we prepare private jet catering to match the aircraft: in-flight catering that re-plates cleanly, aviation catering for executive jet catering sectors, business aviation catering for corporate trips, and diplomatic flight catering when protocol applies. Cabin crew meals are ordered with the same trip, on request and invoiced like the rest.

VIP flight and private jet catering at Rimouski Airport (CYXK)

A typical business flight into CYXK is a corporate shuttle or a fishing and hunting charter, usually four to eight guests.

We pack Gulf shrimp, smoked salmon and a hot tourtiere in the same order.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Rimouski Airport (YXK)

At Rimouski, special meals are written around Quebec kitchens, where dairy, wheat flour and pork fat sit in many local dishes, so we separate them from the start. Tell us kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free or kids meals when you order and we cook the dish apart, on its own board, sealed and marked by seat. Tourtiere and pate chinois are prepared in plant-based and gluten free versions on request, and maple desserts are made without nuts for allergic guests.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Rimouski Airport (YXK)

Rimouski's apron is small, and the nearest shop is not a quick walk, so crew catering matters. We offer crew meals and flight crew meals on request, invoiced with the order; pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed for the flight deck, and crew meal boxes cover a long duty day. When the policy requires it, we supply different meals for pilots so captain and first officer never share a dish.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Rimouski Airport (YXK): delivery to your aircraft

FBO catering at Rimouski is handed over at the general aviation terminal or directly at the aircraft. Catering delivery to the FBO is coordinated with your handling agent, and ground handling catering follows airside access rules. Handling agent catering means one contact for the trip, one set of labels, one invoice.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Rimouski Airport (YXK)

Rimouski sees turboprops and light and midsize business jets rather than wide-bodies, so galley catering here is carried by hand or on a light cart. Airside catering delivery is handled with your handling agent at the apron, and aircraft provisioning follows the type you give us: a king air galley is not a Challenger galley, and we pack the trays, ice and cold boxes to what actually fits. If the aircraft needs a high loader for a larger type, say so with the tail and we plan the airside access with the FBO.

About the airportCYXK / YXK

General aviation and airport catering at Rimouski Airport (YXK)

Rimouski Airport serves the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec, a coastal area with fishing, hunting and regional government travel. The field is quiet, with a short terminal and simple procedures, which makes ordering catering straightforward.

Business aviation

Airport catering at Rimouski is shaped by the season: summer brings fishing lodge charters, winter brings hunting parties and snow clearing. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering are ordered for turboprops and light jets, while business aviation catering suits corporate trips. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals complete the range for a field that is small but not idle, and a business aviation hub for the region in its own way. General aviation is the backbone here, with FBO services and ground handling services available on request.

Customs & food import

Canadian customs and CFIA rules apply to food arriving from abroad, with meat, dairy and produce under the closest watch. For an international flight into Rimouski, ordering catering in Quebec avoids carrying restricted food through the airport, and the meals arrive sealed and labelled.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“Menu approval at Rimouski Airport covered a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides for 2 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a short ground stop. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the crew provisions, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. Our brief for private jet meals was met with a sensible plan for portion planning. Keeping the breakfast portions identifiable helped the colleague taking over service understand the order without another long explanation.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Rather than an elaborate service at CYXK, our 6 guests wanted a cold lunch with cheese and fruit, organised sensibly around a late menu amendment. I appreciated the emphasis on storage requirements throughout the private jet menu arrangements. I needed the snack boxes checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. The note about the sandwiches was easy to spot, and we could brief the rest of the team quickly.”

★★★★★CHARTER

“The cabin briefing at YXK included 6 passenger meals, a request for vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection, and instructions addressing several individual meal preferences. I want a private jet chef to understand portion planning, and this order gave us a useful starting point. The Galley Girls prepared the canapés for assembly in the galley, with the accompanying elements easy to locate. The sauces stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence.”

Asked before every CYXK slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at Rimouski when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

If the count changes late, the quote changes with it, dish by dish. Rimouski's seafood platters and cheese rounds scale in clear steps, so the new price is easy to read. Nothing is hidden: you see the lines, and you pay for what is served.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Rimouski if a delegation or government flight is arriving?+

A delegation into CYXK usually means a menu cleared by protocol first, then cooked. That sequence sets the lead time at Rimouski, not the distance or the terminal. Last-minute orders are handled, but the earlier the protocol list arrives, the more of the menu we keep open.

How do customs work for a special-meal request at Rimouski, whether kosher, halal, allergen or child?+

Customs at a small airport like Rimouski can be straightforward if the aircraft's galley stock is declared. For kosher, halal or child meals we deliver sealed, labelled by seat, so the declaration stays simple.

Can you bring food of your own on a Rimouski flight, and how do crew duty time and waiting on the ground change that?+

Rules on imported food still apply, so if your own meal is from another country, check it. For waiting time at Rimouski, we supply fresh pilot and cabin crew meals so the crew has something warm or cold ready when the duty clock allows.

Is catering part of a charter into Rimouski, given the departure slot and the length of the turnaround?+

No, it is a separate booking. A charter into CYXK leaves catering to you, and we handle it with your slot in mind, cooking and labelling the order so the cabin attendant can serve without delay.
