Private jet catering at Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ / YYZ), Toronto

Catering to your aircraft in Toronto.

Pearson works its business aviation off the general aviation side of the field, and winter turns every departure into a conversation about de-icing and slot. We pack for the galley you have, with the crew meals on a separate order, and hand over at the aircraft.

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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Toronto (YYZ)

Toronto is a city of kitchens from everywhere, and the airport catering here reflects it: Portuguese chicken, Caribbean patties, dumplings from the east end, all of which pack well. Add Ontario produce and you have a private jet menu that does not need to import its identity. We build the inflight menu from what is in season in Ontario, with Niagara fruit in summer, root vegetables and braises in winter, and peameal bacon for early breakfasts. Private jet food for a Pearson departure is cooked to survive a held door and a cold apron, so sauces travel apart and salads are dressed by the person serving. These local specialities sit beside a plain classic for the passenger who wants none of it. {Region} here means Ontario, and the ingredients prove it.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ)

Runway 05/23 and the long taxi to the de-icing pad shape how food is packed at Toronto Pearson. Private jet catering here is built for a galley that may sit with the door closed while the aircraft queues, with hot courses that hold and cold boards that stay cold. Inflight catering for Ontario departures runs on the same rule all year: pack for the delay you hope not to have. In-flight catering for a Toronto turnaround is written from the drawer outward, and aviation catering for CYYZ is ordered by tail, slot and seat plan. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering both start from the cabin you fly, while diplomatic flight catering adds protocol to the brief and cabin crew meals ride on a separate line.

Business aviationOur core

Private jet catering in Toronto for business and VIP flights (YYZ)

Business jet catering and corporate jet catering at Toronto Pearson is often a shuttle brief: New York, Chicago or Calgary in the morning, back the same day. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow a different rhythm, with larger cabins and more courses. Luxury inflight catering is written by a private jet chef around the aircraft's galley, and a bespoke menu starts from who is sitting where and which cabin crew are working it.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight and VIP aviation catering at Toronto Pearson International Airport

Government flight catering into Toronto moves through protocol before it reaches the kitchen. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are written with named staff and a traceable chain. VIP aviation catering adds discretion: no names on boxes, only seat numbers, and menus cleared before anything is cooked.

Special meals

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ)

Toronto has deep kosher and halal supply chains, so special meals are practical here rather than improvised. Kosher dishes travel sealed with the certification label intact, halal and vegan are cooked on separate boards, and gluten free and allergen free plates are packed apart from guest trays. Kids meals are plain and recognisable. Tell us the restriction and the seat, and the box is marked by seat number.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Flight crew meals on request at Toronto Pearson International Airport

Crew meals at CYYZ are ordered on request and invoiced like any other line of the order. Flight crew meals suit a turnaround where nobody can leave the aircraft during a de-icing hold, so pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed to eat with one hand and no galley fuss. Crew catering for a long Pearson day can be hot or cold, and different meals for pilots are available on request so captain and first officer never share a dish. Crew meal boxes are labelled CREW and kept away from guest trays.

Ground handling and FBO catering at Toronto Pearson International Airport

FBO catering at Pearson means catering delivery to the FBO, at the general aviation terminal, to the door the aircraft is actually using. We work with your handling agent so ground handling catering reaches the right ramp. Handling agent catering is coordinated by tail and slot, not by a standing arrangement.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)

Aircraft type decides how the load goes on at Pearson. A large-cabin jet with a high door sill needs a high loader at the stairs, while a light jet is carried up by hand. Galley catering is packed in the order it will be used, and airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent so the carts reach the right door. Aircraft provisioning starts with the galley layout you send us.

About the airportCYYZ / YYZ

About Toronto Pearson International Airport (CYYZ): aviation catering and general aviation

Toronto Pearson is the country's busiest airport, and its general aviation traffic shares the field with the airline operation. Airport catering for business aviation here is shaped by winter, by customs and by the pull of corporate movements toward the US. The general aviation terminal is a separate door from the main concourse, and FBO services and ground handling services both run from that side of the field, which sits at 569 feet.

Business aviation

What makes CYYZ a business aviation hub in practice is the mix on the ramp: corporate shuttles, charter movements and the occasional delegation. Inflight catering and in-flight catering follow one rule here, pack for the galley you have. Aviation catering and business aviation catering are ordered per flight, executive jet catering starts from the cabin type, diplomatic flight catering adds clearance to the brief, and cabin crew meals and crew meals go on a separate line. Your FBO services desk and ground handling services team need the tail and slot to open the right door.

Customs & food import

Canada controls the import of meat, dairy and fresh produce, and crew arriving with food from abroad should expect questions at the border. Food cooked and packed in Ontario and handed over at the aircraft avoids the issue, so most operators order locally and keep their own supplies for emergencies only. Your FBO services contact and ground handling services agent can confirm what the inspector expects on a given day.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“A request for chicken skewers with a couscous salad, 9 passengers, and a revised passenger count: that was our brief for the departure at CYYZ. Our brief for business aviation catering was met with a sensible plan for storage requirements. I wanted clear identification on the sauces; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The sandwiches were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

Hana E. | Chief cabin officer — BBJ

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“One detail shaped our order at YYZ: a changing departure schedule, alongside a request for grilled salmon with a lemon dressing for 3 passengers. I asked The Galley Girls for the salads in sealed meal containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. Keeping the starters aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks. For our team, the strongest part of their jet catering was how they handled galley preparation.”

Carmen X. | Government flight manager

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Passenger preferences led us to prawn salad and small fruit plates at Toronto Pearson International Airport; 4 portions were needed, with a small galley worktop factored into preparation. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the salads and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the main courses were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. With VIP flight catering, careful attention to portion planning matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Ordering for CYYZ, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a delegation or government flight into Toronto?+

How much does private jet catering cost for a state or government party at Pearson? Menu, headcount and any clearance paperwork decide it, in that order. Wild salmon plates for twenty cost more than sandwiches for six; we show the difference line by line before you confirm.

What is the lead time for a kosher, halal, allergen free or child's special meal at Toronto Pearson?+

Lead time here depends on what the meal has to be. A kosher dish with certification needs sourcing; a child's plain pasta does not. Tell us early for the former, and last-minute orders are handled for the latter.

What about customs when crew are waiting on the ground at Toronto?+

Canada restricts some fresh food crossing the border, and crew on a long ground stay feel it first. Local catering brought to the aircraft sidesteps that. Check the current rules for anything you carry in, and let us supply the rest.

Can you bring food of your own into Toronto Pearson for a short turnaround?+

You can, but the departure slot is the problem: Canadian customs applies to meat, dairy and fresh produce arriving from abroad, and a tight turnaround leaves no time to argue. Ordering locally from us removes the question, since the food is made in Ontario.

Is catering part of a charter into Toronto, for example when the menu uses Ontario products?+

The charter agreement does not include food. A local touch such as Ontario cheddar or peameal bacon is priced into a separate catering order, which we invoice on its own once you confirm.
