Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

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 Windsor (YQG)

Windsor sits at the southwestern tip of Ontario, and the local table follows the lake and the farmland. Our private jet menu for Windsor leans on Lake Erie yellow perch and pickerel, Leamington tomatoes and peppers, Essex County sweet corn and peaches, and the Italian bakeries that shaped the city's food. Private jet food here is simple and seasonal, and the inflight menu changes with the harvest. Local specialities travel well: perogies from the Polish and Ukrainian community, Windsor-style shawarma, and the Windsor pizza with its shredded-cheese, bacon-topped tradition. For private jet platters we build cold boards from Ontario cheddar, smoked fish and fruit, and for gourmet inflight meals we cook and pack plated mains. Private jet snacks are Ontario nuts, local chocolate and fruit. Each is packed for a galley with no kitchen on board.

Ontario's southwest is the country's market-garden belt, and that sets the private jet menu for Windsor. Leamington greenhouse vegetables, Lake Erie perch, Essex County wine and orchard fruit all feature, and the seasons decide what we can offer. Private jet food from Windsor is built to cross a border: sealed, labelled and easy to inspect. The inflight menu mixes local specialities with classics, and we adapt each dish to the galley you actually have. Private jet platters carry Ontario cheeses, charcuterie and fruit. Gourmet inflight meals are plated mains, and private jet snacks cover the quick bites. Ask about {Region}-sourced items for each season.

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Windsor International Airport (YQG)

Windsor's kitchens have a long tradition of Middle Eastern, Italian and Eastern European cooking, which means halal and vegetarian options are easy to source locally. For kosher, vegan, gluten free and allergen free requests, we handle each as a separate preparation with its own board and sealed packaging, flagged by seat. Special meals and kids meals are agreed at order, and cross-contact points common in Ontario bakeries and fryers are checked before packing.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals & pilot meals at Windsor International Airport

On a Windsor turn, crew catering is simple: crew meals ordered with the flight and invoiced as part of the order. Flight crew meals come in crew meal boxes, pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed separately, and different meals for pilots are available so captain and first officer do not eat the same dish. If your cabin crew meals differ from the pilots' at CYQG, say so when you place the order and they are priced like everything else.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering and handling agent delivery at Windsor International Airport

At Windsor, we deliver to the FBO or to the apron when the handling agent clears access. FBO catering needs the tail number and slot; catering delivery to the FBO is simple once the general aviation terminal knows who to expect. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering run on the same details.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

High loader and aircraft provisioning: aviation catering at Windsor International Airport

At Windsor International most arrivals are light and midsize jets that load by hand, but larger cabins on charters and sports flights may need a high loader. Galley catering is matched to the aircraft type and the door height, and airside catering delivery is coordinated through your handling agent. For aircraft provisioning on bigger cabins, tell us the type and we plan carts, boxes and trolleys accordingly.

About the airportCYQG / YQG

About Windsor International Airport (YQG): airport catering for business aviation

Airport catering at CYQG works with the airport's general aviation setup, where FBO services and ground handling services share the apron with scheduled flights. The field's position on the Ontario border shapes everything from access to food rules.

Business aviation

Windsor is a business aviation hub for Southwestern Ontario and the Detroit side, with inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering needs tied to auto-industry travel. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering here favour short, tidy menus; diplomatic flight catering is rare but handled with discretion, and cabin crew meals are standard on longer rotations.

Customs & food import

Canada's food import rules apply at Windsor: meat, dairy, fresh fruit and vegetables from outside the country can be refused at the border. For a Windsor arrival, ordering locally avoids the question and the paperwork. Sealed, labelled packaging keeps inspection quick.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT
“Clear quantities were essential at YQG: we had 3 passengers expecting prawn salad and small fruit plates and were working around different crew meal preferences. For business jet catering, that attention to galley preparation made the order noticeably easier to manage. We changed the quantities of fruit plates, and The Galley Girls reflected the request in the final packing list. The breakfast portions remained as originally requested, which was reassuring when we checked the latest version with operations.”
Hiro Y. | Government flight manager

★★★★★BUSINESS JET
“A request for a charcuterie board and fresh bread, 7 passengers, and a family lunch request: that was our brief for the departure at Windsor International Airport. With business aviation catering, careful attention to galley preparation matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the main courses could be arranged during service. Keeping the snack boxes aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”
Mei S. | VIP flight attendant

★★★★★LARGE CABIN
“Nothing about the 9 guest order at CYQG called for excess complexity: just a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides and sensible planning for limited fridge space. We described our serving sequence to The Galley Girls and asked for the snack boxes to be packed accordingly. That left time to check the sauces properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service. The portion planning stood out more than any sales pitch about jet catering.”

Ordering for CYQG, in shortAsked by crews
How much does private jet catering cost for a night departure or early morning slot out of Windsor?+

Night and dawn departures from Windsor tend to change the menu rather than the method. An overnight leg might call for light cold trays; a dawn departure calls for fresh bakery items from the local ovens. Prices reflect ingredients and portions, and how much does private jet catering cost depends on how elaborate you go.

What lead time does catering at Windsor need, with the handling agent and airside access in the picture?+

Windsor's handling agents control ramp access, so lead time starts with knowing who will meet the delivery. Share the FBO details with the order and we coordinate directly. Seasonal products such as Leamington tomatoes make ordering simpler, and last-minute orders are handled.

Do customs rules affect catering on a short repositioning flight into Windsor with an empty cabin?+

Customs rules still apply when the cabin is empty. Leftover galley food from the departure airport may not clear on arrival at Windsor, and officers can ask you to dispose of it. Ordering fresh crew meals at CYQG avoids carrying anything across.

Can you bring food on board for a long leg from Windsor with two services?+

Technically yes, but on a two-service leg you are better placed with food packed by service: first meal in one box, second in another, each marked. Bringing food from home risks customs questions at Windsor and spoilage over a long flight. Our packing is built for galley rhythm.

Is catering part of a charter into Windsor if the passenger count changes at the last minute?+

Charter pricing and food pricing are separate. If passengers are added or dropped before departure from Windsor, we change the portions and the labels. Last-minute orders are handled, and the invoice follows what is delivered.
