Catering to your aircraft in Thompson.
A northern Manitoba stop at 729 ft means weather decides your slot. Our team packs Thompson menus for the galley you have, and the crew finds them labelled by seat.
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.
Thompson takes its table from northern Manitoba: lake fish, wild rice, bison and the berries that grow short and sweet under a long summer light. A private jet menu for Thompson works best when it leans on that larder instead of imported luxury. Pickerel and whitefish from the northern lakes are the backbone of a local inflight menu, pan-seared and packed with the sauce in a separate pot so the skin does not soften in the drawer.
Manitoba wild rice, nutty and dark, travels well and reheats without losing bite, which makes it a dependable side for private jet food on a leg out of CYTH. Saskatoon berries and cloudberry-style preserves go into cold desserts. These local specialities are packed as private jet platters and gourmet inflight meals, with private jet snacks such as smoked fish crackers and bannock bites for the cockpit.
Tail, pax, diets, timing. One message — no portal, no quote form. Answered at any hour, by a flight attendant.
Leak-proof boxes, marked by guest and restriction, with reheating times written on the lid.
Two minutes out of the drawer. Whatever you ordered for the crew comes in the same delivery, and one clean invoice follows.
The Canadian north does not forgive a thin galley plan, and Thompson is a good example: a Manitoba city of mining and forestry traffic, with business flights arriving in all weather. We provide private jet catering at CYTH tailored to what your aircraft can actually heat and hold. Think inflight catering built from Manitoba pickerel and wild rice, in-flight catering plated for re-service, and aviation catering delivered through the general aviation terminal. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering menus are written per trip; diplomatic flight catering is cleared through protocol before cooking. Cabin crew meals come on request, labelled CREW and billed with the order.
Business jet catering at Thompson tends to follow mining, forestry and corporate travel: small cabins, short stays, a few passengers. Corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering here are plated for four to eight, with a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around fish, bison and wild rice. Charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering are built the same way.
When an official party routes through CYTH, protocol decides the menu. Government flight catering, head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering are cleared in advance, packed by a small named team, and handed to the aircraft without fuss. State visit aircraft catering keeps the same confidentiality.
Special meals at Thompson follow the northern kitchen: fish, dairy, flour and nuts are everywhere, so allergen free means a separate board, a sealed pack and a seat-number label rather than a promise. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free orders are agreed with the trip, kids meals are plated to the passenger's age, and anything built around a restriction is checked against the menu before cooking.
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.
For a Thompson rotation, crew meals come on request and are billed like any other line. Flight crew meals can be a hot box or a cold one; pilot meals avoid anything messy. Our crew catering is labelled CREW so no passenger tray is opened by mistake, cockpit meals fit a lap, crew meal boxes are sealed, and different meals for pilots are packed separately. Cabin crew meals are ordered, labelled and billed the same way, on request.
At CYTH, the order goes through the FBO. We handle FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO, confirm the door with your handling agent, and respect general aviation terminal access rules. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering stay in one thread, so the crew sees one name.
Aircraft at CYTH range from turboprops to midsize business jets, and the type decides how galley catering is loaded. A smaller door means hand-carried trays and no high loader; a larger cabin may call for airside catering delivery on a lift. Tell us the type and we plan aircraft provisioning around the galley you actually have, with insulated cases for the cold of a northern apron.
Mention it when you orderCertified, inspected, with cold-chain records filed against your trip.
Whichever terminal you park at, handover is at the aircraft, on your slot.
Allergen sheet per guest, halal and kosher on request, sealed and labelled.

CYTH is the main airfield of Thompson in the Canadian north, at 729 ft. As airport catering goes, it is practical rather than showy: general aviation is the core, FBO services are straightforward, and ground handling services cover the ramp for business aviation visitors.
Thompson is a small business aviation hub shaped by northern industry. Inflight catering and in-flight catering here lean on lake fish and wild rice; aviation catering and business aviation catering orders suit crews arriving from Winnipeg or farther north. Executive jet catering fits the small cabins that use the field. Diplomatic flight catering is rare but possible, and cabin crew meals are on request.
Customs at an international arrival into CYTH can question animal products and fresh produce under Canadian import rules. We source locally and label allergens, so what lands in the galley is already inside the rules. Your handling agent confirms any specific requirement.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Small packing details became important at Thompson Airport: our 8 passengers wanted smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit, and we had a revised passenger count. I asked The Galley Girls for the starters in clearly marked packs, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. The desserts stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. This experience of private jet catering gave us a useful reference for managing cabin service sequence on another departure.”
“Menu approval at CYTH covered mushroom risotto and a green salad for 6 guests, leaving us to organise the service around two separate meal services. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the crew provisions, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. We could account for the fruit plates before passing the boxes to the cabin team, without a lengthy unpacking exercise. I would discuss private jet catering services with them again, especially when portion planning needs careful coordination.”
“Despite a late menu amendment, we wanted the 6 guests at YTH to enjoy smoked salmon bagels and sliced fruit without a complicated cabin service. I needed the starters checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. I want a private jet catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point. There was no need to reconstruct the fruit plates quantities from several messages during the final departure checks.”
Local ingredients decide most of it. Wild rice and berries are modest; bison and fresh lake fish are not. We price how much does private jet catering cost as a function of your choices, then confirm before cooking.
The rule that matters is the country's, not the airport's: Canadian import controls on animal products. A menu built on Manitoba fish, wild rice and berries sidesteps most of it, and late orders are accepted.
Canadian customs look at fresh meat, dairy and produce on international arrivals. A compact galley means fewer hot items anyway, so we build around cold platters and one hot main that stays within local sourcing.
Yes, within customs limits. The catch at CYTH is the weather: winter freezes and summer smoke can change departures, and personal food has no cold chain. We cook, label and hold to your slot instead.
No, and that holds on every leg. A private jet charter into Thompson does not carry catering with it. Order the arrival menu and the return menu together, and both are billed as ordinary orders.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
