How far in advance should I order for a Cranbrook departure?

For most menus, twelve hours is a comfortable lead time. Complex or bespoke requests benefit from twenty-four hours' notice, and kosher meals require a minimum of twenty-four hours to ensure full certification compliance.

Do you deliver directly to the aircraft at YXC?

Yes. We deliver in galley-ready condition to whichever handler is managing your aircraft on the ramp. We coordinate directly with your crew or your trip support team to confirm timing and access.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements and allergen restrictions?

Every menu we build is tailored to your passenger manifest. Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian, and allergen-controlled menus are all available. Please detail requirements at the time of order so the kitchen can plan accordingly.

Is local Kootenay produce genuinely available, or is it a marketing claim?

It is genuine. We work with regional suppliers in the Columbia Valley and broader East Kootenays to source seasonal produce, mushrooms, beef, trout, and charcuterie. Availability reflects what is actually in season, and our team will advise you honestly at order time.

Can you cater a multi-leg itinerary that includes other airports near Cranbrook?

Yes. Our worldwide network allows us to coordinate catering across connected legs — including onward stops at Calgary, Lethbridge, or Castlegar — under one point of contact. Brief us on the full routing when you place the order.

What if my departure time changes after I have placed an order?

Contact your dedicated point of contact as soon as the schedule shifts. We will adjust preparation and delivery timing accordingly and confirm revised arrangements directly with your handler on the ground at YXC.

Inflight Catering · Cranbrook

Inflight catering for Cranbrook flights

Cranbrook sits in the Rocky Mountain Trench at over three thousand feet, a working gateway for the Kootenay region's mountains, ski terrain, and hot-spring retreats. The surrounding landscape shapes what is available on the ground: cold-climate root vegetables, wild-foraged mushrooms and berries, and beef raised on the high-elevation grasslands of the East Kootenays give local sourcing real meaning here. Fairmont Hot Springs, eighty kilometres to the north, and the broader Columbia Valley corridor supply some of the most distinctive produce in interior British Columbia. We work with regional suppliers to bring those ingredients aboard your aircraft in galley-ready form, connecting the character of the Kootenays directly to the cabin.

Regional Catering Menu · Cranbrook

Cranbrook private jet catering

Cranbrook private jet catering from Altitude Dining draws on the larder of the Canadian Rockies interior. Expect wild mushroom preparations — chanterelle, porcini, pine — alongside charcuterie sourced from small-batch producers in the Columbia Valley. Bison tartare, elk loin, and trout from mountain-fed waterways reflect the proteins that define this corner of Canada, plated with the restraint of a serious kitchen. For morning departures we assemble nourishing, clean palate choices: house-made granola with locally foraged berry compote, free-range egg dishes, and freshly baked goods prepared the same day. Altitude Dining's team tailors every menu to the flight duration, the number of passengers, and any dietary requirements — kosher menus are available with twenty-four hours' notice.
