Aviation catering — Whitehorse, Canada
Airside airline catering, VIP & private jet catering at Whitehorse (CYXY / YXY)
YXY (IATA) · CYXY (ICAO)
Whitehorse carries a wide-body aerodrome reference code, which sets the stand geometry and the hi-loader access an operator can plan a rotation against. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering, in-flight catering and wide-body uplift here from one ops desk, boarding three cabins directly at galley height rather than staging trays at the foot of the aircraft.

Inflight catering order window for Whitehorse airport departures
Inflight catering tracked kitchen to aircraft at YXY
The loading window at Whitehorse runs from the sealed cart leaving our kitchen to the signature closing the galley door, and every stage of it is logged rather than assumed. Ramp access governs the pace of that sequence: once the hi-loader is cleared onto the apron, the crew works to the same sequence on every rotation, scheduled or ad hoc. That discipline is what lets a delayed slot or a late change in cabin count still meet a catering uplift without the sequence being rebuilt from scratch.
Between our kitchen and the stand at CYXY sit screening, an escort onto the apron and the ordinary traffic of a working ramp, and none of it is left to chance: the chain of custody is fixed before the cart leaves the kitchen door. We plan the catering uplift against the slowest of those stages rather than the fastest, because a convoy held at a checkpoint is the risk to the schedule, not the galley catering itself. Temperature is logged when the load is sealed and logged again at handover, and the loading sheet carries a signature at both ends so the record closes with the aircraft, not before it.
One sealed load, one signature, from our kitchen door to the galley.
Crew meals from the kitchen serving Whitehorse (YXY)
Pilot meals and cleared production crews for CYXY
The flight kitchen at YXY runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, built to hold to HACCP across every stage from receiving to load-out. That structure is what lets airport catering here move from a written specification to a sealed cart without a gap in the cold chain, whatever the mix of scheduled, charter or government work on a given day. Airport catering at Whitehorse is planned from that single facility rather than split across ad hoc sourcing.
The staff who handle government flight catering at Whitehorse are the same named team on every rotation, not a rotating pool assigned on the day. Each holds security clearance on file, sits on the access list for the ramp and is trained to the household and protocol standards that travel with a sealed uplift. That consistency is what a protocol desk checks first, and it is the reason repeat state and delegation work returns to the same crew here.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Whitehorse, Canada
VIP flight catering, specified per passenger at Whitehorse airport
Menus at Whitehorse are written to the cabin and the mission rather than to a fixed cycle, adjusted for season and for the length of the rotation. Where local sourcing supports it, dairy, fish and orchard produce from the surrounding region feature on the specification without naming a single dish or supplier. From passenger meal boxes to VVIP service, inflight catering here is built on a documented base: allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets are recorded per passenger and per cabin before the cart is sealed. That documentation travels with the load, not as an afterthought once it reaches the aircraft.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Whitehorse are plated to a written specification held on file between movements, with caviar and à-la-carte service available on request rather than fixed to a cycle. VIP flight catering here is filed against that standing order, so a repeat rotation is served to the same standard without the specification being rebuilt each time.
Business cabins
Business cabins at YXY run on multi-choice hot service built to a galley-ready tray set, sized to the aircraft's fitted equipment rather than a generic format. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are boxed separately to the roster, so the flight deck and the galley draw from their own sealed sets.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary work at Whitehorse is documented per passenger before the cart leaves the kitchen, covering household, religious and medical requirements alongside halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering of that kind is produced on a separate line and sealed before it joins the main load, keeping the record clean from kitchen to galley.

Airside airport catering at Whitehorse
Whitehorse works a mixed traffic profile against a wide-body reference code, which means a scheduled rotation, a charter movement and an occasional government or delegation flight can all sit on the same working day. Airline catering at CYXY, aviation catering at YXY and in-flight catering at Whitehorse run off that same reference code, so a delegation is handled as a documentation matter and a peak wave as a capacity one, not the other way round.
The uplift reaches the aircraft from our kitchen by sealed cart, escorted onto the apron and boarded by hi-loader directly at galley height rather than left at the foot of the stand. Our own crew works the ramp on our own clearance, so airport catering at YXY and inflight catering at CYXY are staged to one sequence regardless of which stand the rotation is worked from.
On every rotation here we commit to one named coordinator, sealed carts and a signed handover at the aircraft.
Royal flight catering and scheduled uplifts at CYXY
01
Government and state flight catering at YXY
A 2,895 m runway at Whitehorse is what allows a head of state aircraft to operate here on the same wide-body reference code as a scheduled service, rather than on a separate arrangement. Government flight catering on that movement is documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared crew and sealed at our kitchen before it leaves for the stand.

02
Royal and VVIP flight catering at Whitehorse
A private airliner — BBJ, ACJ or wide-body VIP — boards at Whitehorse against the same runway length that clears a scheduled wide-body service, which is what keeps a household rotation on ordinary ramp terms rather than a special exception. Royal flight catering here holds to a written household specification kept on file between movements, with halal and other household requirements produced on request at CYXY.

Charter and ACMI flight catering at CYXY
On the wide-body stands at Whitehorse, a 2,895 m runway is long enough to bring in ACMI and wet-lease operators alongside group charters and special missions on the same working day. Charter flight catering in Canada, and charter flight catering in Whitehorse specifically, means a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet and staged in galley order before boarding.

04
Airline and ad hoc catering at YXY
Our crews work the wide-body reference code held at Whitehorse as the baseline for every scheduled rotation, which is what lets ad hoc airline catering sit alongside a fixed cycle without a separate ramp plan. Carriers running CYXY as an outstation draw on outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering off the same duty roster, AOG included, across a multi-leg rotation, with crew meals boxed separately at YXY and again at CYXY for the flight deck and the galley.

05
Private jet and FBO catering at Whitehorse
A wide-body reference code sets the stand geometry at YXY, which means a business aviation movement is sequenced around the same ramp slots as a scheduled rotation rather than worked separately. Private jet catering in Canada reaches the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal here on the same cold chain and paperwork as an airline uplift.
