Aviation catering — Quebec, Canada
Private jet catering, VIP flight catering and airline catering at Quebec (CYQB / YQB)
YQB (IATA) · CYQB (ICAO)
A 2,743-metre runway and a wide-body reference code let the widest scheduled and charter aircraft working this route board a full three-cabin uplift rather than a partial one. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering behind that stand, boarding by hi-loader straight to galley height so nothing waits on a cart at the foot of the aircraft.

Flight catering sealed and logged to the stand at Quebec airport
Every catering uplift at this station starts sealed at our kitchen and ends signed at the galley door, with nothing counted twice between the two. Ramp access is held on our own badges, so the cart moves onto the apron on our schedule rather than waiting behind a shared gate. That single chain, worked the same way whatever the stand, is what a wide-body reference code like Quebec's is actually built to support.
The convoy, not the food, is the risk on any wide-body catering uplift, and at Quebec that means screening, an escort onto the apron and the ordinary traffic of a two-runway field to plan around before a cart ever reaches the stand. We build the route against the worst of those three, not the average of them, because a delay compounds once a hi-loader is already positioned at the galley door. Galley catering is logged at both ends of that route: temperature taken when the cart is sealed at the kitchen, taken again at handover, chain of custody closed by a signature neither party can back out of. Nothing on this station moves without that pair of readings on file.
One sealed route, one signature, from our kitchen to the galley door at Quebec.

Airport catering at Quebec runs from a production line built around hot cooking, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol cell held under one roof, so a wide-body order and a household order move through the same building rather than two. That structure is what lets airport catering at CYQB hold a multi-class tray count and a single VIP tray on the same day without either slowing the other down. The line runs to HACCP, and the cold chain it feeds does not break between the kitchen door and the sealed cart bound for YQB.
Government flight catering at this station is handled by the same named team on 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 kitchen's protocol cell, and is trained to the household standards a repeat VIP or state movement expects. That continuity is what a chain of custody actually depends on: the same hands from seal to handover.
VIP flight catering and dietary sets at Quebec
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Quebec, Canada
Menus for Quebec are built to the cabin and the mission first, then adjusted for season, so a First cabin tray set and a group-charter tray set never share a specification by accident. Where local sourcing enters the plan it draws on Quebec and the wider Canadian supply chain — dairy, fish, orchard fruit — kept general rather than tied to a single farm or producer. Inflight catering in Quebec is written this way across every cabin we board, First through main, with the same production line behind all three. Every allergen, halal, kosher and medical set is documented per passenger and per cabin before it reaches the tray line, not adjusted after the fact.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Quebec are plated to a written specification rather than a running menu, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request against that same file. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order for the rotation, so a repeat movement is served to the record already on file rather than reconstructed each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at YQB run multi-choice hot service to a written cabin specification, boxed into oven-ready formats sized to the galley fitted on the aircraft. Crew meals at CYQB, cabin crew meals and pilot meals travel the same tray line, boxed to the roster rather than the passenger count.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at CYQB are documented per passenger before the tray line runs, covering household, religious and medical sets alongside the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering built to halal and kosher specification is produced on a separate line and sealed before it leaves that line, kept apart from the general cabin run.

Flight catering airside delivery at CYQB
Quebec carries scheduled, charter and government traffic across a wide-body reference code held on two runways, and that mix sets the planning problem before a single tray is loaded: a delegation arriving on short notice is a documentation problem, a charter wave is a capacity problem, and a repeat scheduled rotation is a repetition problem that rewards a fixed tray plan. Airline catering at CYQB is built around whichever of those three the rotation actually is, not a single default.
The uplift itself moves from our kitchen to the stand by hi-loader, boarded straight to galley height rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft, with our own crew on the ramp for the whole run. Aviation catering at CYQB and airport catering at YQB share that same route regardless of which segment is flying that day, and inflight catering in-flight catering and aviation catering are dispatched off one ops desk rather than three separate ones.
What we commit to at this stand is one coordinator named to the rotation, carts sealed at the kitchen, and a handover signed at the galley door before the crew steps back.
VVIP catering and commercial flights at Quebec (YQB)
01
Government and state flight catering at Quebec
A wide-body reference code held at this station means a delegation aircraft is planned against the same stand class as a scheduled widebody, so protocol paperwork never has to be worked around a smaller-aircraft routing. Government flight catering at Quebec documents the file per passenger, assigns only security-cleared staff to the rotation, and seals the uplift before it leaves the kitchen — the same file structure used for any head of state movement passing through this stand.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at CYQB
The reference code here is wide-body, so a private airliner — BBJ, ACJ or a wide-body VIP configuration — boards from the same stand class as a scheduled aircraft rather than a smaller apron set aside for it. Royal flight catering at this station is held to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other royal household dietary requirements produced against that same file on request. Catering at YQB for this segment runs to that continuity by default, not as an exception.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at YQB
Our crews load a full three-cabin uplift against the wide-body reference code held at this station, counted line by line off the loading sheet rather than estimated on the ramp. Charter flight catering at CYQB covers ACMI and wet-lease operators, group movements and special missions on that same stand class, and charter flight catering in Canada is staged in the order the galleys are laid out so a multi-leg rotation reboards on schedule at every stop.

Airline and ad hoc catering at Quebec
Off the 2,743-metre runway that gives Quebec its wide-body reference code, carriers running this station as an outstation get the same tray standard as a based operator, even when the booking lands the day before departure. Outstation catering in Canada, diversion catering and technical stop catering all run off one duty roster here, AOG covered without a separate process, and ad hoc airline catering at YQB is confirmed against the same loading window whether it is a scheduled rotation or a single unplanned call across a multi-leg itinerary; crew meals at YQB and crew meals in Canada travel on the same sealed carts as the cabin trays, and ad hoc catering at YQB is logged to the same handover record throughout.

Private jet and FBO catering at CYQB
The 2,743-metre runway at Quebec carries business aviation onto the same apron infrastructure as the wide-body traffic it was built for, which is why our dedicated branch delivers private jet catering at Quebec to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal rather than routing it through a separate process. FBO catering here runs on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, covering business aviation catering and business jet catering without a lower standard for a smaller aircraft.

“We needed an airline ops catering supplier at Quebec (YQB/CYQB) and the support was excellent. They understood airline operations and kept communication short, clear, and useful. Very convenient for operational coverage. That made the turnaround easier for both the flight crew and the team on the ground. Updates were timely and the final delivery matched the confirmation we had from operations.”
★★★★★Charter operator
Hector — Charter Planning Manager
“We used the service for private jet catering in Quebec on a VIP rotation through YQB/CYQB. Communication was responsive and the team handled a late timing change without any issue. Good local support for a VIP operation. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Maria — Airline Operations Manager
“We had several halal airline meals on our order at Quebec (YQB/CYQB) and everything was handled correctly. Each item was clearly identified, separated from the standard meals, and easy to check before boarding. We were happy with the accuracy of the order. The final handover was simple and there was nothing for the crew to correct before departure.”

Business jet catering questions at Quebec
Crew meals, lead times and access at Quebec
What operations gets asked every week about Quebec.
Ask operations directly →Working within a two-runway wide-body reference code, do you cater VIP, VVIP and government flights at CYQB?
There is a named, security-cleared team held for VIP flight catering and government flight catering at this station, working to a written protocol file for every movement.
How far airside does airline catering reach at Quebec?
Our own airside clearance covers the full ramp, so airline catering is delivered by hi-loader straight to the galley door rather than staged at the foot of the aircraft.
Can halal, kosher and the full set of IATA special meal codes be produced for a Quebec departure?
Every SPML code we hold is produced against a documented request, with halal and kosher sets run on a separate line and sealed before they reach the tray count.
Do you deliver private jet catering to the FBOs and the GA terminal at YQB?
Yes, through our dedicated private-jet branch, which delivers FBO catering across every FBO on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain as an airline uplift.
CYQB operators ask this often — how much does airline catering cost at this station?
The sealed cart and loading sheet carry the specification, but the airline catering cost itself depends on cabin count, tray specification and loading window, so our desk returns a quotation rather than a published rate.
