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

Local specialities from Rocky Mountain House for your inflight catering

Alberta defines the private jet menu at Rocky Mountain House: beef from the ranches east of the foothills, bison, and saskatoon berries from the prairie. For an inflight menu, these local specialities travel in different ways, so private jet food is packed by how it holds, not by how it looks.

Alberta beef is sliced and sauced separately for the oven. Bison keeps better as a braise than a grill. Saskatoon berries go in a compote or a tart that stays cold in the drawer, and the pot is sealed.

Bannock and cold-smoked trout round out the region, both easy for a galley with only a small oven.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Rocky Mountain House Airport (CYRM)

Weather off the Rockies decides most arrivals at Rocky Mountain House Airport, and a turboprop on a short strip leaves little room for ground time. Private jet catering for CYRM is built around that: dishes that hold through a delay, labelled for the drawer, ready when the door opens. On a foothills strip like this one, business aviation catering means plain, sturdy trays for a crew that may wait out the weather.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at Rocky Mountain House Airport (YRM)

Traffic at CYRM is mostly corporate: energy-sector executives, site inspections, and charter flight catering for small groups arriving from Calgary or Edmonton. Business jet catering here means sturdy food for short legs and long holds, the kind of corporate jet catering that survives a cold apron. Executive jet catering for a client who wants Alberta beef starts with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu; VIP flight catering and luxury inflight catering are packed to reheat from the drawer.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight and VIP aviation catering at Rocky Mountain House Airport

Official movements into Rocky Mountain House are rare and usually tied to wildfire response, provincial visits or First Nations and municipal business. Government flight catering for CYRM is arranged with a named contact and discretion, and menus are cleared before cooking. For head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering or state visit aircraft catering, protocol comes first and the handover stays quiet.

Dietary requirements and aviation catering at Rocky Mountain House Airport (CYRM)

Alberta kitchens lean on wheat flour in bannock and sauces, canola oil, dairy-heavy gravies and nuts in baked goods, so each allergen free request is checked line by line. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals, and kids meals, are sealed and labelled by seat; special meals are marked with the restriction, never with a name.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals for pilots and cabin crew at Rocky Mountain House Airport (YRM)

Crews at CYRM often wait through a long wait for a delayed passenger pickup, so crew meals are built for patience. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are boxed hot or cold, with cockpit meals that can be eaten one-handed. Crew catering is ordered on request and invoiced like the rest; cabin crew meals and different meals for pilots are packed in separate crew meal boxes.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Ground handling and FBO catering at Rocky Mountain House Airport

CYRM has a small general aviation terminal, and the handling agent controls who comes airside and when. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO are agreed before the slot, so ground handling catering does not sit on the apron in cold weather. Handling agent catering is handed over at the FBO, or to the agent at the aircraft; last-minute orders are handled too.

Rocky Mountain House sees turboprops and light and midsize jets, so a high loader is rarely needed. Galley catering is packed in compact, stackable boxes for narrow doors and small ovens. Airside catering delivery and aircraft provisioning are carried aboard by hand with the handling agent.

About the airportCYRM / YRM

Aviation catering and business aviation at Rocky Mountain House Airport (YRM)

Rocky Mountain House Airport (CYRM / YRM) is a regional strip in west-central Alberta on the edge of the Rockies. General aviation is the base here, with FBO services and ground handling services kept simple. It is no business aviation hub of the Calgary kind, but airport catering matters when a charter lands on a cold morning, and diplomatic flight catering is rarer still.

Business aviation

Activity peaks with oil and gas site visits, fall hunting parties and summer wildfire seasons. Mountain weather and short winter days cause most delays, so menus are written to survive a long hold, and executive jet catering is packed to wait.

Customs & food import

Canada's customs and the CFIA control food imports. Fresh meat, dairy and produce brought from abroad can be refused, so we source locally in Alberta; a flight arriving from the United States should plan its provisions accordingly.

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Menu approval at Rocky Mountain House Airport covered a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 3 guests, leaving us to organise the service around a changing departure schedule. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the crew provisions to arrive in compact food boxes. I want an inflight catering company to understand galley preparation, and this order gave us a useful starting point. We placed the starters in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“It was the packing plan I cared about at CYRM, with 3 servings of avocado toast components and breakfast fruit and a revised passenger count to consider. When comparing inflight catering companies, I would look closely at portion planning after this experience. The confirmation from The Galley Girls showed the fruit plates clearly enough for us to check the planned service quantities. There was enough information about the side dishes to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”

Mariam P. | Chief cabin officer

★★★★★CREW MEALS

“Nothing about the 9 guest order at YRM called for excess complexity: just mushroom risotto and a green salad and sensible planning for several individual meal preferences. For in-flight catering services, that attention to crew briefing made the order noticeably easier to manage. The Galley Girls gave us an update on the fruit plates before the handover, which helped us organise the cabin checks. The desserts went straight to the right colleague instead of circulating between several people during the turnaround.”

Rocky Mountain House: the questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation flight into Rocky Mountain House?+

A delegation flight is priced by menu and by how many trays must be cleared and sealed, so a plated official lunch costs more than a boxed sandwich service. Send the headcount and security needs and we quote from the menu.

What lead time does a kosher or allergen request need into CYRM?+

A special meal needs more care than a standard tray, since the ingredient and the kitchen are checked first. Earlier is easier for kosher and allergen requests, and last-minute orders are handled, though kosher stock may be limited.

What customs rules affect catering for crews waiting on the ground at CYRM?+

Canadian rules limit fresh meat, dairy and produce brought in from another country, so crews waiting on the ground should not rely on food carried across the border. We supply it locally at Rocky Mountain House, and it is invoiced like any order.

Can you bring food of your own on a short turnaround at Rocky Mountain House?+

You can bring your own, but a tight slot leaves little room to warm or repack it on board. Food from us arrives ready for the drawer, so a short slot is not eaten into by prep.

Is catering part of a charter into Rocky Mountain House?+

No. Catering is not part of the charter: it is ordered and invoiced separately. Add a local product such as saskatoon berries or bison and we source it for the flight.
