Can you deliver to any handler at CYCZ?

Yes. We are handler-agnostic at Fairmont Hot Springs and will coordinate delivery directly with whichever ground handler or operator is managing your aircraft.

What is the minimum lead time for a standard order?

We recommend a minimum of four hours for standard menus. Shorter windows are considered on a best-efforts basis — contact us directly and we will advise on what is achievable for your departure time.

Do you cater kosher meals at Fairmont Hot Springs?

Certified kosher meals are available with a minimum 24-hour lead time. Please specify requirements when placing your order so we can source appropriately sealed and certified provisions.

Are your menus suitable for the aircraft types that operate into CYCZ?

Our packaging and portion formats are designed for the turboprop and light-to-midsize jet galleys most common at Fairmont Hot Springs — compact trays, foil-sealed hot mains, and chilled boxes sized for smaller cabin configurations.

Can you accommodate last-minute diversions into Fairmont Hot Springs?

Our desk operates around the clock and we are accustomed to short-notice requests — including unplanned diversions from Cranbrook or elsewhere in the Columbia Valley. Call us as soon as the diversion is confirmed.

Do you source ingredients locally near Fairmont Hot Springs?

Where possible, yes. We draw on Columbia Valley producers and Cranbrook-area suppliers for cold-smoked fish, wild mushrooms, and seasonal preserves — integrating them into menus that reflect the region rather than a generic aircraft catering template.

Private jet menu for Fairmont Hot Springs

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Fairmont Hot Springs departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenCanada

To start

Columbia Valley Cold-Smoked Trout

Delicately smoked trout from the Columbia River system, served with crème fraîche, pickled cucumber ribbon and rye crisp. Chilled and galley-ready.

Cold main

Aged Bison Bresaola Board

Thinly sliced cold-cured bison with shaved fennel, house-pickled wild mushrooms and a grain mustard dressing — a charcuterie course anchored in the Rocky Mountain larder.

Hot main

Braised Short Rib with Root Vegetable Gratin

Slow-braised beef short rib finished in a red wine reduction, paired with a celeriac and potato gratin. Packaged to reheat evenly in aircraft ovens.

Morning

Wild-Berry Compote and Thick-Set Yogurt

Haskapa and saskatoon berry compote layered over full-fat yogurt with toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds. A mountain morning in a single jar.

Morning

Warm Grain Bowl with Roasted Seeds

Farro and wild rice with roasted root vegetables, toasted seeds and a smoked maple dressing. Substantial enough for an early alpine departure.

To finish

Birchwood-Smoked Dark Chocolate Tart

A single-serve dark chocolate ganache tart with a faint birch-smoke note, topped with a hand-harvested wild-berry glaze and finished with flaked sea salt.

Inflight Catering · Fairmont Hot Springs

Private aviation catering at YCZ

Fairmont Hot Springs sits in the Rocky Mountain Trench at nearly 2,700 feet, flanked by the Purcell and Rocky Mountain ranges. The Columbia Valley floor here produces some of Canada's most distinctive cold-climate ingredients: wild foraged mushrooms from the surrounding forest, freshwater fish from the Columbia River system, and small-batch provisions sourced through our Cranbrook network, roughly 80 kilometres to the south. The region draws a discerning clientele — fly-fishermen, heli-skiers, hot-spring retreatants and backcountry adventurers who expect the same quality on board as they receive at the lodge. Our team builds menus that reflect exactly that sensibility: local, unhurried, rooted in place.

Regional Catering Menu · Fairmont Hot Springs

Fairmont Hot Springs inflight catering

Rocky Mountain cuisine at this latitude leans on preservation and provenance in equal measure. We work with smoked and cured preparations that travel beautifully at altitude — cold-smoked trout from the Columbia Valley, aged bison bresaola, and birchwood-smoked charcuterie boards balanced with house-pickled seasonal vegetables. Hot mains are finished galley-ready, packaged to reheat evenly in aircraft ovens. Morning departures from Fairmont Hot Springs lend themselves to hearty, mountain-inflected breakfasts: wild-berry compotes over thick-set yogurt, warm grain bowls with toasted seeds, and freshly baked pastries prepared the same day. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum 24-hour lead time. Every order — from a single crew meal to a full cabin service — receives the same single point of contact and a reply within ten minutes.
