Catering to your aircraft in Saint-Léonard.
CYSL is a quiet field in the Madawaska Valley, and most flights here carry a handful of passengers in a compact cabin. We cook and label by seat, and hand the order over at your FBO. Crew meals are requested and invoiced like the rest.
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.
Saint-Léonard is the Madawaska Valley in a single stop, and the private jet menu for CYSL draws on it. New Brunswick is potato country, and the upper Saint John River valley is known for it, so a baked potato side or a warm potato salad is a local speciality that travels well in a galley. Acadian cooking gives the inflight menu its backbone: chicken fricot, a thick poultry stew, and poutine râpée, a boiled potato dumpling, are real regional dishes, though both need a re-plating plan before they go in a drawer. Maple syrup and maple butter suit breakfast service, and Atlantic salmon is the cold platter most requested for New Brunswick flights. These local specialities make up the private jet food we cook and pack for Saint-Léonard. Our private jet platters stay chilled, hot dishes ride sealed with the sauce apart, and the private jet snacks are built around what a small cabin can open with one hand. The result is gourmet inflight meals that still taste like New Brunswick when the door opens.
For private jet food at Saint-Léonard, we start from what New Brunswick grows and cooks. The Madawaska Valley is potato territory, and its Acadian kitchens contribute chicken fricot, poutine râpée and tourtière. Our private jet menu for CYSL turns those local specialities into dishes that suit a galley: the stew goes sealed and goes to the oven, the tourtière is cut by passenger, and a cold Atlantic salmon platter sits chilled for the leg out. Maple supplies the sweet note, in butter, in glaze, in a small tart. Our inflight menu for Saint-Léonard also covers private jet platters for a boardroom group, gourmet inflight meals plated at altitude, and private jet snacks for the crew who never get to sit down. Everything is packed by people who have worked these galleys themselves.

Saint-Léonard Airport sits at 793 ft above the Madawaska River valley, on the Maine border, and the aircraft that use it are mostly small corporate jets and turboprops with compact galleys. Private jet catering here is a short, carefully planned brief: a few passengers, a cold-weather menu and a handover at the FBO. Our former VIP flight attendants treat inflight catering for CYSL as galley work, not delivery work, and we add aviation catering touches such as business aviation catering for logging and mining crews, executive jet catering for visiting managers, diplomatic flight catering for border-region protocol flights, and cabin crew meals boxed separately.
A typical business jet brief at Saint-Léonard is a small group heading across New Brunswick or the Maine border, often for forestry, mining or family travel. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering here are built for a compact galley. VIP flight catering for a charter flight catering request, luxury inflight catering, a private jet chef and a bespoke menu are all done through one order, shaped by the cabin and the slot.
When an official aircraft lands at CYSL, protocol matters more than the menu. We handle government flight catering and state visit aircraft catering through a named team and a traceable kitchen. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are agreed with your protocol contact beforehand and delivered quietly.
At Saint-Léonard, the allergen question usually starts with the Acadian kitchen: fricot and tourtière use wheat flour and pork fat, and butter sits in almost everything. We handle special meals as a procedure, whether kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free, allergen free or kids meals. The dish is built on its own board, sealed and marked by seat, so it arrives as written. Tell us the restriction when you order and we work from there.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
Crews at Saint-Léonard often overnight or turn around quickly, so crew meals need to be eaten with one hand. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals are boxed and marked CREW, apart from the passenger trays. For a valley crew, crew catering and crew meal boxes are added to the order only when you ask for them, and they appear on the invoice beside the passenger trays. We pack different meals for pilots when your operator's policy asks for it, and cabin crew meals stay separate.
Deliveries to CYSL go to the FBO first, then plane-side with your handling agent. FBO catering here is arranged through the general aviation terminal, with ground handling catering confirmed against your slot. Catering delivery to the FBO and handling agent catering use the same call.
Aircraft at CYSL are mostly small, so galley catering usually travels in one load through the cabin door and needs no high loader. If your type sits higher, tell us, because aircraft provisioning for a larger galley is planned around the door height and the apron. For airside catering delivery we coordinate with your handling agent and pack for the galley you actually have: drawers, one oven, limited chilled space.

Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.

Saint-Léonard Airport serves the upper Saint John River valley in New Brunswick, on the Canadian side of the Maine border at 793 ft. Airport catering here supports a general aviation field with a small terminal. FBO services and ground handling services are limited, which is why we pack complete.
Business aviation at Saint-Léonard is steady rather than busy, with corporate and private aircraft using it for access to the valley. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here start with the aircraft type. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are planned around small galleys. Executive jet catering suits visiting managers, diplomatic flight catering covers border-region official visits, and cabin crew meals are boxed separately. As a business aviation hub, it is small, and the weather is part of every plan.
Saint-Léonard is a Canadian airport, so food import rules apply. Meat, dairy and fresh produce loaded abroad can be restricted at arrival, which is one reason local catering is simpler. Declare any food on board to the border officer, and check with your handling agent before your arrival.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“It was the packing plan I cared about at Saint-Léonard Airport, with 7 servings of avocado toast components and breakfast fruit and a late menu amendment to consider. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the salads, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The sauces were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. For flight catering services, that attention to final order confirmation made the order noticeably easier to manage.”
“Nothing about the 6 guest order at CYSL called for excess complexity: just chicken skewers with a couscous salad and sensible planning for a short ground stop. After a final adjustment to the fruit plates, The Galley Girls gave us one revised order summary to work from. We checked the salads against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. This experience of airline catering gave us a useful reference for managing meal organisation on another departure.”
“The 10 passenger portions of smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit were the easy part; managing a short ground stop at YSL took more planning. We discussed the dimensions before confirming; The Galley Girls grouped the sauces into separate meal boxes that were easy to handle. I appreciated the emphasis on catering handover throughout the crew meals arrangements. We placed the sandwiches in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”
Pricing here comes from your order, not from the airport. Send the departure slot and the turnaround you expect, and we name which dishes fit and what each adds. A hot Acadian main costs more than cold salmon, and a special meal on its own board adds a line of its own.
If you want something specific from the valley, say so when you call. A fricot built on local potatoes goes together easily, while an out-of-season item may need a swap. Last-minute orders are handled and we confirm each dish.
Canada checks what comes off an aircraft, and food is on that list. For a Saint-Léonard stop, that means your own galley stock may need to be declared or discarded. Our meals are prepared locally, so they avoid that problem.
Yes, you may, but ask first about the aircraft. A small galley limits what rides and what stays chilled. We pack to the type you are flying, so nothing arrives too large for the drawer, and customs questions disappear.
No, food does not come with the charter contract. In this part of New Brunswick, winter weather often reshapes departure times, so we plan menus that tolerate a delay. You order the catering and it is invoiced as its own line.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
