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

The Trois-Rivières table, packed for private jet catering

Quebec cooking travels well in a jet galley, which is why a private jet menu for Trois-Rivières leans on the region's classics. The inflight menu can open with a Mauricie cheese board, move to tourtière du Lac-Saint-Jean or pâté chinois, and close with sugar pie. Private jet food built from local specialities has a story the passengers recognise: maple-glazed salmon, smoked meats cut by seat, wild mushroom soup in a thermos-style pot. Private jet platters of Quebec cheese, cretons and pickles work cold and need no oven. Gourmet inflight meals are plated at the FBO's door, and private jet snacks such as maple taffy bites and cheese curds ride in the cabin drawer. Trois-Rivières sits in Quebec, and the local specialities of the St. Lawrence valley fit a short leg.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Trois-Rivières Airport (CYRQ)

CYRQ is a quiet airfield between Montreal and Quebec City, and the flights that use it are short, corporate and often seasonal. Private jet catering for Trois-Rivières is written around that rhythm: maple in spring, hunting-season game in autumn, hot dishes that survive a frozen ramp. Inflight catering and in-flight catering come packed for a small galley, aviation catering is agreed with your handling agent, business aviation catering and executive jet catering follow your trip sheet, diplomatic flight catering is cleared in advance, and cabin crew meals go on the same order.

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Trois-Rivières Airport

Business jet catering at Trois-Rivières is usually a corporate trip between Quebec towns: a tidy brief, a small galley, a few seats. Corporate jet catering here favours dishes that finish in one oven. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow your trip sheet, and luxury inflight catering means a Quebec cheese course or maple salmon plated by your crew. A private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the aircraft's galley and the season at CYRQ.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at Trois-Rivières Airport

When a delegation lands at CYRQ, the menu is agreed with the protocol office first. Government flight catering stays quiet and traceable. Head of state flight catering uses sealed packaging and a short list of people. VIP aviation catering is handled the same way, and state visit aircraft catering is arranged around the official schedule.

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Trois-Rivières Airport (CYRQ)

Special meals at Trois-Rivières start with the local kitchen: tourtière carries pork and wheat, cretons are pork, sugar pie holds dairy and gluten. Kosher and halal orders are sealed and labelled by seat, vegan dishes avoid the butter and lard that Quebec cooking leans on, gluten free and allergen free plates are cooked on a separate board, and kids meals follow the same rules. Each is a procedure, written on the order with the seat number.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals on request for flights from Trois-Rivières (YRQ)

At YRQ the crew often stays on the ground between legs, so crew meals can be hot. They are a service you request and pay for with the rest of the order. Flight crew meals and pilot meals are labelled so nobody opens a passenger tray by mistake. Crew catering stays simple: cockpit meals eaten with one hand, crew meal boxes with a hot main, and different meals for pilots if policy requires it.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Trois-Rivières Airport (YRQ): delivery to your aircraft

Everything for CYRQ is delivered at the FBO, at the foot of the aircraft if the apron allows. Our FBO catering plan is shared with the handling agent, who knows which door of the general aviation terminal is open. Catering delivery to the FBO, ground handling catering and handling agent catering are one coordinated order.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Trois-Rivières Airport

Most aircraft at CYRQ are light jets and turboprops, so galley catering is carried to the door by hand, with no high loader needed. A larger aircraft that needs airside catering delivery gets a truck and a lift arranged with the handling agent. Aircraft provisioning follows the type: door height, galley layout and ramp surface in winter all shape how the trays are loaded.

About the airportCYRQ / YRQ

About Trois-Rivières Airport (YRQ): airport catering for business aviation

Trois-Rivières Airport is a small general aviation field serving the Mauricie region of Quebec, used by corporate flights, charters and private owners. Airport catering here stays simple and local, FBO services run the ramp, and ground handling services are light but reliable.

Business aviation

Trois-Rivières is a quiet business aviation hub in Quebec, with light jets and turboprops most of the year. Inflight catering and in-flight catering are sized to small cabins, aviation catering and business aviation catering follow corporate trips, executive jet catering suits owner flights, diplomatic flight catering is rare but cleared in advance, and cabin crew meals and crew meals are on request. Ground handling services work around winter, ice and short days that shape the schedule.

Customs & food import

Flights arriving from abroad at CYRQ clear Canadian customs, which control imported animal products and produce. Food bought in Quebec avoids the problem, and the ground handling services team can confirm what is allowed to stay on board.

★★★★★CHARTER

“The cabin briefing at CYRQ included 7 passenger meals, a request for roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings, and instructions addressing a short ground stop. The starters supplied by The Galley Girls were straightforward to check against the written menu before the cabin handover. The sauces were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation. The storage requirements stood out more than any sales pitch about business jet catering.”

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Service planning came first at YRQ, with 5 passengers choosing beef fillet with roasted potatoes and different crew meal preferences influencing our preparation. The Galley Girls kept the desserts separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. The canapés stayed together in one group, so another crew member could follow the same plating sequence. With business aviation catering, careful attention to cabin service sequence matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”

Chen X. | Chief cabin officer

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Packing chicken skewers with a couscous salad for 12 passengers at Trois-Rivières Airport needed careful thought, especially given a tight boarding window. The Galley Girls confirmed the handover contact and identified the starters, making the catering delivery easier for our team to track. My main takeaway from this jet catering order was the practical approach to final order confirmation. The cabin team could match the salads to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks.”

Asked before every CYRQ slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost on a short empty repositioning flight into Trois-Rivières?+

Price follows content, not distance. A positioning flight into YRQ with no guests costs little, since it is just crew catering. Put a platter and a hot dish on top, and the invoice reflects those dishes, itemised.

What lead time do you need on a long leg with two services on board?+

What makes lead time easy here is a short brief: aircraft, slot, number of services. For two services, we split hot and chilled so your crew is not juggling. Late changes are handled by phone, 24/7.

What do customs mean for catering when the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Headcount moves, customs does not. Canada controls imported animal products, so what we supply is bought in Quebec. Extra seats at the last minute just mean extra trays from the same kitchen.

Can you bring food from home on a government or delegation flight to Trois-Rivières?+

Bringing your own is possible, though a state or delegation trip into Trois-Rivières often chooses local, sealed meals instead. Fewer customs questions, clear ingredient lists, and no tray opened by mistake.

Is catering part of a charter when someone needs a kosher, halal or allergen-free meal?+

Charter pricing stops at the aircraft. Dietary meals, whether allergen free or kids meals, are catering, ordered and billed on their own, with a separate board and labelled by seat.
