Can Altitude Dining cater a same-day departure from Fort Simpson?

Same-day orders in remote northern locations carry real logistical risk. We will always attempt to assist and will respond within ten minutes to assess what is achievable, but we recommend advance planning wherever the schedule permits.

Which handler should I tell you is managing our aircraft?

Simply let us know which handler or FBO is holding your aircraft on the day. We work in a handler-agnostic way and will coordinate ramp access and delivery timing directly with them.

Do you supply crew meals as well as passenger catering?

Yes. Crew meals are included as a standard part of every order — balanced, properly portioned, and packed separately so the flight deck and cabin crew can eat without disrupting passenger service.

Can you cater multiple stops on a northern routing — for example Fort Simpson and then Yellowknife?

Yes. We can coordinate catering across several airports, including Yellowknife, Hay River, and Fort Nelson, from a single order conversation. Your point of contact manages the full routing so you deal with one person throughout.

How are perishables kept at temperature during delivery to a remote airport?

All temperature-sensitive items are packed in insulated, airline-specification containers appropriate to the product. Timing is aligned to your departure window so dwell time on the ramp is minimised.

Is Kosher catering available at Fort Simpson?

Kosher meals can be arranged with a minimum of 24 hours' notice. All Kosher items are sealed and certified before dispatch and arrive in their original packaging for passenger verification.

Fort Simpson private jet catering menu

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenCanada

To start

Cold-Smoked Canadian Salmon Platter

Thinly sliced cold-smoked Atlantic salmon from a certified Canadian smokehouse, accompanied by crème fraîche, capers, thinly sliced rye, and a light dill oil. Packed chilled and ready to plate.

Cold main

Charcuterie and Aged Cheddar Board

A curated selection of Canadian cured meats alongside a two-year-aged cheddar and a sharp Quebec-style firm cheese, with grain mustard, cornichons, and seeded crackers. Travels exceptionally well on northern sectors.

Hot main

Braised Beef Short Rib with Root Vegetable Purée

Slow-braised beef short rib finished in a red wine reduction, paired with a smooth celeriac and parsnip purée. Packed in a sealed airline container and regenerated in the galley oven.

Morning

Steel-Cut Oat Pot with Poached Pear and Toasted Pecans

Stone-milled steel-cut oats prepared to a creamy consistency, topped with a lightly spiced poached pear and caramelised pecans. A grounding start for early morning northern departures.

Morning

Buckwheat Galette with Smoked Salmon and Soft Herb Cream

A traditional-style buckwheat galette filled with cold-smoked salmon and a chive and tarragon cream cheese. Served cold and ready to eat without galley regeneration.

To finish

Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Tart

A single-serve tart of 70% Valrhona dark chocolate ganache in a crisp all-butter shell, finished with flaked Atlantic sea salt. Individually wrapped and stable across the temperature ranges typical of subarctic ramp handling.

Private jet catering in Fort Simpson

The town of Fort Simpson is the administrative heart of the Dehcho region, a vast territory shaped by boreal forest, river ice, and the rhythms of the Dene people who have lived here for millennia. That remoteness is not an obstacle — it is a context we plan around, sourcing thoughtfully and coordinating logistics well in advance so nothing is left to chance on the ramp. Supply lines into the subarctic demand honesty about lead times. We build your order with that reality at the centre: provisions are confirmed, packed to retain temperature across handling, and dispatched to reach your aircraft in galley-ready condition. Our single point of contact manages every link in that chain on your behalf.

Regional Catering Menu · Fort Simpson

Fresh catering for Fort Simpson flights

Given the distance from large distribution centres, we concentrate on shelf-stable luxury proteins — premium smoked salmon, charcuterie sourced from established Canadian producers, aged cheeses that travel well under controlled temperatures — alongside fresh elements timed precisely to your departure window. Crew meals are treated with the same attention as passenger orders: balanced, sustaining, and properly portioned for long sectors across northern Canada. For passengers continuing deeper into the territories or routing south toward Yellowknife, Hay River, or Fort Nelson, we can prepare provisions scaled to the onward leg. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum twenty-four hours' notice, ensuring sealed, certified meals arrive intact regardless of the logistical distance involved.
