Aviation catering — North Bay, Canada
VIP flight catering, airline catering and private jet catering at North Bay (CYYB / YYB)
YYB (IATA) · CYYB (ICAO)
A wide-body reference code held here sets the loading plan before an aircraft turns onto stand: hi-loader boarding to galley height, sequenced against the ramp rather than the schedule board. AERO GOURMET provides inflight catering, in-flight catering and uplift built around that access, in North Bay, Canada, for scheduled, charter, VIP, government and private jet flights, with a single ops desk running the whole rotation.

Aviation catering timeline, order to boarding, at CYYB / YYB
In-flight catering, sealed cart to galley door, North Bay (YYB)
Sealed at the kitchen door and logged again at the galley: that is the whole of what the loading window at North Bay records. Ramp access governs the sequence, because a cart cleared for the apron at CYYB moves on the same slot as the aircraft it feeds, never ahead of it and never behind. The catering uplift is planned against that slot, not against an estimate, so the timeline shown here is what actually happened on the ramp, not what was scheduled to.
Between our kitchen and the stand at North Bay sit screening, an escort through the airside gate, and whatever apron traffic the ramp is carrying that hour. We plan the catering uplift against the worst of those three, not the best, because a sealed cart that waits behind a pushback is still a sealed cart. Chain of custody runs from the seal at the kitchen to the signature at the galley door, with a temperature log opened at one end and closed at the other. Every galley catering handover at CYYB carries that same signed record, whatever the segment flying it.
One seal, one signature, one coordinator, from our kitchen door to the galley.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at North Bay, Canada
Hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell sit under one roof at the kitchen that provisions North Bay, and that arrangement is what lets airport catering here move from written specification to sealed cart without a subcontracted step in between. HACCP governs every line in the building, cold chain from the walk-in to the cart, so airport catering leaving for CYYB carries the same documented handling whether it is a single galley or a full three-cabin load. Nothing about the flight kitchen at YYB is separate from the ramp it feeds: the same coordinator who signs the batch signs the handover.
The team that handles government flight catering at North Bay is the same named crew every rotation, not a rotating pool pulled in for the day. Each member carries security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the airside gate, and is trained to the household standards a royal or state movement expects on file between visits. That continuity is what a protocol officer is actually checking for when a delegation is booked weeks out.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at YYB
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at CYYB / YYB
Menus at North Bay are written to the cabin and the mission first, the season second: a state visit and a charter rotation do not share a spec sheet even when they share a stand. Local sourcing draws on the dairy, orchard fruit and lake fish that Ontario's growing season carries, worked into the tray plan rather than named as a feature. From plated First service down to passenger meal boxes, the inflight catering built here follows a written specification that travels with the load, not a chef's memory of it. Allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are documented per passenger and per cabin, produced and sealed before the cart leaves the kitchen.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at North Bay are plated to a written specification kept on file between movements, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request. The presentation is filed against the standing order, so a repeat rotation gets the same service without a briefing.
Business cabins
Business cabins at YYB run multi-choice hot service in oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted to the aircraft, boxed as tray sets ready to load. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the flight deck and the cabin crew each draw from their own set.
Protocol & dietary
Household, religious and medical requirements are documented per passenger at North Bay, halal and kosher sets among them, produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves the kitchen. The full range of special meal codes used in inflight catering is covered by that same line, labelled and traceable back to the passenger it was built for.

Flight catering airside delivery at North Bay airport
North Bay carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across two runways under a wide-body reference code, and that mix sets the catering problem before a single tray is loaded: a delegation is a documentation exercise, a charter wave is a capacity exercise, and a repeat scheduled rotation is a repetition exercise that rewards a fixed spec sheet.
The uplift moves from our kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, boarded directly to galley height rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the ramp for the handover. Airline catering at CYYB and inflight catering at CYYB run off that same route regardless of segment, and airport catering at North Bay is planned stand by stand rather than by terminal, because the wide-body reference code is what actually decides where a cart can go.
One coordinator holds the rotation from seal to signature, and aviation catering at YYB closes on a handover that both sides sign.

Airline and ad hoc catering at YYB
A 3048 metre runway at North Bay, and that length is what lets a scheduled widebody operator run this station as an outstation rather than a diversion stop. Ad hoc airline catering covers the uplifts that were never on the original schedule, outstation catering carries the carriers who route through here regularly, diversion catering and technical stop catering are worked off the same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation without a change of kitchen.

“We requested HACCP at North Bay (YYB/CYYB) and the packaging worked very well onboard. Everything was labeled, compact, and easy to place directly into the aircraft without repacking on the ramp. Good attention to the operational side of catering. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Alicia — Freighter Operations Manager
“Our operation through North Bay (YYB/CYYB) included a catering uplift request at short notice. The team stayed in contact with operations, adjusted to the new timing, and kept the aircraft handover simple. Good support for a changing flight schedule. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Noah — Trip Planning Manager
“I ordered business jet catering for our departure from North Bay (YYB/CYYB) and was very happy with the service. They followed my notes closely, kept me updated, and delivered at the time agreed with the FBO. I would definitely order from them again. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground.”

Business jet catering questions at YYB
Diversion catering and ramp questions at YYB
What operations gets asked every week about North Bay.
Ask operations directly →Whose protocol governs VIP, VVIP and government flight catering at CYYB?
Across every state visit and royal movement, government flight catering at CYYB runs under a written protocol file documented per passenger, with security clearance held on the crew handling it.
Is airline catering delivered airside at North Bay?
The coordinator on the ramp handles every handover, so airline catering reaches the stand by airside delivery, boarded to the galley door by hi-loader rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft.
How far documented are halal, kosher and the special meal codes at North Bay Airport?
Held to the same production standard as every other line, halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes, including SPML, are produced on a separate line and documented per passenger.
YYB — how far in advance does an order need to be placed?
The sealed cart is what actually carries the deadline: a standard order needs enough lead time to clear production and loading, while a specification can still change closer to departure than the tray count can. Our ops desk confirms both windows once cabin count and mission are known.
