Catering to your aircraft in Tofino.
At Tofino / Long Beach, cloud on the Pacific side decides when jets get in and out, and our galley menus are written around that coast. Catering by crew, for crew, delivered to your FBO at CYAZ.
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.
Tofino and the wider British Columbia coast give a private jet menu a clear identity: cold Pacific water, cedar smoke and forest ingredients. A private jet menu for Tofino / Long Beach leans on wild salmon, Dungeness crab, spot prawns and sablefish, with local specialities such as bannock and foraged mushrooms. Each inflight menu is built so the dish still reads as itself after the cabin climbs and the galley takes over. Private jet food from this coast is mostly seafood, so we pack it chilled and mark what needs the oven. Private jet platters of smoked salmon, local cheese and berries suit a short stop at CYAZ, while gourmet inflight meals such as seared halibut with sauce apart suit a longer leg. Private jet snacks run to candied salmon, nuts and fruit. These local specialities are chosen for the Tofino season, not copied from another airport.

Tofino / Long Beach Airport sits at 80 ft on the Pacific side of Vancouver Island, where rain and fog decide the day as much as any flight plan. Private jet catering for CYAZ is written around that coast: cedar-plank salmon, spot prawns and chowder that survive a galley. Inflight catering here is packed by former VIP flight attendants, and business aviation catering follows your slot. For executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering or cabin crew meals, you phone or email us, day or night.
Business jet catering at Tofino / Long Beach is usually a lodge-bound party: a few guests, a light jet and a menu that stays simple. Corporate jet catering, VIP flight catering and charter flight catering all run from the same brief. Luxury inflight catering here means Pacific seafood plated well, and a private jet chef can shape a bespoke menu around your guests and your galley.
When a state delegation lands at CYAZ, VIP aviation catering starts with protocol, not the kitchen. We provide government flight catering, head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering with full traceability and a discreet, named team on the tarmac.
Special meals at Tofino / Long Beach are handled as a procedure, because seafood runs through most local cooking. Kosher and halal meals are sealed and handled apart from the guest trays. Vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked on separate boards and boxed apart, and allergen free orders flag shellfish and fish first, since both are everywhere on this coast. Kids meals are simple and cold-friendly. Tell us the seat plan and restrictions, and each tray carries a seat number only.
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.
At CYAZ the crew often wait out the weather on the ground. Crew meals are ordered on request and billed like any other item. Flight crew meals and pilot meals arrive in crew meal boxes, labelled by seat, and cockpit meals are packed to be eaten fast. Crew catering can include different meals for pilots, and cabin crew meals are boxed separately.
On a small field like CYAZ, the FBO and the handling agent do most of the coordination. Our FBO catering is delivered to the general aviation terminal and passed airside through ground handling catering channels. Catering delivery to the FBO is labelled by seat so handling agent catering takes seconds.
Aircraft at CYAZ are mostly light and midsize jets and turboprops, so galley catering usually goes up by hand through the door rather than by high loader. For a larger aircraft, tell us the type and we plan the airside catering delivery around its door height and galley layout. Aircraft provisioning at a small coastal field like Tofino is packed to fit the carts, drawers and single oven you actually have on board.
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.
Itemised and trip-report ready, sent after the leg.
CYAZ is a coastal field in British Columbia used by private aircraft, charters and the occasional state flight. Airport catering is arranged ahead and handed over at the terminal and apron.
Business aviation at Tofino peaks in summer and during storm season, when general aviation and FBO services handle lodge-bound guests. Inflight catering, in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering all follow the aircraft. Executive jet catering suits short stops, diplomatic flight catering is arranged through protocol, and cabin crew meals ride along. Ground handling services are small but familiar with galley deliveries, and this business aviation hub is quiet outside the surf season.
Canadian border rules apply to any food carried in from another country, including leftovers in a galley. Ordering catering at CYAZ keeps outbound meals compliant, because they are made in Canada and handed over sealed.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Breakfast was already sorted; at YAZ, the next request was a mezze selection with flatbreads for 5 guests, with an evening cabin service to work around. For our team, the strongest part of their in-flight catering was how they handled cabin service sequence. The Galley Girls grouped the main courses by service, which was more useful to us than simply receiving a list of dishes. Our colleague could take over the snack boxes without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
“Getting avocado toast components and breakfast fruit ready for 6 guests at Tofino / Long Beach Airport required an order that accounted for limited fridge space. Our brief for vip inflight catering was met with a sensible plan for packing arrangement. The Galley Girls suggested stackable containers for the side dishes, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. Separating the canapés from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“Good preparation made the difference at CYAZ, where 11 guests expected a selection of petits fours and sandwiches despite a family lunch request. The Galley Girls updated the fruit plates in the written order and sent back a confirmation that clearly showed our amendments. The main courses remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations. The order made private jet catering feel manageable because the cabin service sequence had been considered beforehand.”
Think in menus, not fixed tiers. Pacific seafood, foraged mushrooms and local cheese each carry their own cost, and the season of your Tofino departure decides which are at their best. We price after you send seats, dietary needs and the aircraft.
Return legs from CYAZ are catered like any other order. Send the second slot and headcount, and tell us what the guests ate on the way in so the menu changes. Late changes are handled, day or night.
Night departures from YAZ are usually quiet, but Canadian rules on imported food still apply. If the cabin lands with leftover meat or dairy from abroad, expect it to be declared. Order through us and the outbound meal is already compliant.
At a small field like CYAZ, the handling agent is the one who clears food onto the apron. If you carry your own, tell them in advance. Catering we pack is expected and passes through the same channel.
The aircraft price and the food are two different orders. For a short empty-cabin repositioning to Tofino, you may need only crew meals; guests' catering is added on request and billed as its own line.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
