Aviation catering — Beaver Creek, Canada
Airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Beaver Creek (CYXQ / YXQ)
YXQ (IATA) · CYXQ (ICAO)
Beaver Creek carries a narrow-body reference code, and that single figure sets everything a crew can board here: one class of aircraft, one loading plan, no wide-body volume to plan around. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering off that reference code, with hi-loader access to the galley door and uplift staged airside from kitchen to stand.

Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at Beaver Creek (YXQ)
The narrow-body reference code held at Beaver Creek fixes a single cabin sequence, so the loading window is built around one galley door rather than several. Ramp access is agreed before the cart leaves the kitchen, and the route across the apron is fixed to that single stand rather than re-planned on the day. Catering uplift here is a sealed, timed movement from kitchen to galley door, not an estimate offered at booking.

Between our kitchen and the stand at CYXQ sit screening, an escort and the ordinary traffic of a working apron, and the loading plan is built against the worst of that, not the best. Chain of custody runs from the seal placed at the kitchen to the signature taken at the galley, with nothing off camera in between. Galley catering is logged twice: once when the cart is sealed, once when it is handed over, and the catering uplift record travels with the load rather than staying in the kitchen file.
One coordinator carries the load from the kitchen seal to the aircraft signature.
Pilot meals and cabin service produced for CYXQ / YXQ

Cargo crew meals produced to the same standard at Beaver Creek, Canada
The flight kitchen serving Beaver Creek is built to the narrow-body reference code the field holds, which keeps production sized to one class of aircraft rather than a mixed wide-body programme. Hot production, a cold larder and a protocol line sit under one roof, run to HACCP standards from intake to sealing, with the cold chain held from that seal to the moment the cart reaches the ramp. Airport catering at Beaver Creek and airport catering for the movements that route through it are worked from that same kitchen, on the same cold chain.
The team that handles government flight catering at Beaver Creek is the same named crew on every rotation: security clearance on file, listed on the access list, and trained against household service standards for the movements that call for them. Chain of custody runs with them from the kitchen to the aircraft door, not just on paper. Catering at CYXQ is worked by that fixed team, never a rotating pool assembled for the day.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at YXQ
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at CYXQ / YXQ
The menu cycle at Beaver Creek follows the narrow-body cabin the reference code sets, so the specification is written to one class of seat rather than split across several. Inflight catering here draws on regional produce in general terms, dairy, fish and orchard fruit from the wider Canadian supply chain, adapted to season rather than fixed to a single list. Halal, kosher, allergen and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, filed against the standing specification rather than reconstructed on the day. The cabin card, the crew card and the protocol card below carry that specification through to what actually boards.

First & VVIP cabins
Forward-cabin service at Beaver Creek is plated to a written specification, with à-la-carte options available on request rather than fixed to one fixed tray. VIP flight catering here is filed against that specification between rotations, so the standard holds even when the passenger list changes.

Business cabins
Business cabins at CYXQ take a multi-choice hot service built to the galley fitted on the narrow-body cabin, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to that same galley. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately against the roster, so pilot meals never share a tray with the cabin service.

Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements at Beaver Creek are documented per passenger rather than assumed from a general list, covering halal and kosher sets against the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for these sets is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, kept apart from the general cabin service throughout.

Compliance
HACCP-compliant aircraft catering at CYXQ
Flight catering airside delivery at Beaver Creek airport
Beaver Creek holds a narrow-body reference code, which means every rotation through it is planned to one cabin size rather than a mixed wide-body programme, and that single fact governs the whole ground plan. A scheduled service, a charter or a government movement here is a documentation and sequencing exercise first, because the stand takes one class of aircraft at a time rather than a rolling wave of wide-bodies.
The uplift travels from our kitchen to the ramp by sealed cart, boarded through the cabin door under airside delivery rather than left at the foot of the aircraft, with the loading crew working to the one stand this reference code assigns. Airline catering in Canada, run this way, keeps the route short between kitchen and cabin door rather than routed through a wider apron.
One coordinator carries the load for the whole rotation, from the seal placed in the kitchen to the signature taken at handover, so in-flight catering at YXQ and airport catering at YXQ answer to the same named responsibility rather than a shift pattern. Aviation catering at CYXQ is committed on that basis: one stand, one route, one coordinator.

“I asked for airline catering IATA standards at Beaver Creek (YXQ/CYXQ) because we had limited time to reset the galley. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Very cabin-friendly catering. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”

Chloe — Private Flight Coordinator
“We had an ad hoc catering requirement at Beaver Creek (YXQ/CYXQ) and the coordination was very smooth. They understood the operational language and did not need every change explained twice. A very useful service for ad hoc flying. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”
★★★★★Government flight department
Florian — Mission Planning Officer
“I needed reliable private jet menu at Beaver Creek (YXQ/CYXQ) for a same-day departure. Everything was easy to check and load, and the passenger requests were prepared exactly as ordered. Exactly what I want from a private aviation caterer. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

What operations gets asked every week about Beaver Creek.
Ask operations directly →How does airline catering reach the aircraft airside at CYXQ?
CYXQ boards its single stand by hi-loader, cabin door to galley door, with airside delivery run on a sealed cart from our kitchen straight to that stand.
When can private jet catering be delivered to the FBOs and the GA terminal at Beaver Creek?
Once a loading slot is confirmed, private jet catering is worked to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
Which protocol covers VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at Beaver Creek Airport?
The sealed cart and coordinator route used for every rotation also carries VIP flight catering and government flight catering, with the household or delegation file fixed before the cart leaves the kitchen.
Is there a fixed lead time for changing an order at YXQ?
The coordinator who carries the rotation keeps the specification open as late as the loading window allows, so how far in advance an order is placed matters less than how close to boarding a change is confirmed; last minute airline catering is worked against that same window.
What does airline catering cost at CYXQ?
We price against cabin count, specification and the loading window rather than publish a list, so the desk returns a quotation once those three points are confirmed.
