Which FBOs and handlers at YHZ can you deliver to?

We deliver to whichever handler or FBO holds your aircraft at YHZ — no prior account, no surcharge for handler coordination. Confirm the handling agent when you place the order and we take care of ramp access from there.

Can you handle last-minute or same-day orders at YHZ?

Yes — same-day inflight catering at Halifax is a standard part of our operation, not an exception. Send your request by phone or message; your coordinator confirms availability and a delivery window in under 10 minutes. Lead-time minimums depend on menu complexity, so contact us as early as the decision is made.

How are crew meals handled at Halifax?

Crew meals at YHZ are prepared, labelled, and loaded with the main passenger order — no separate delivery, no waiting on the ramp. We build them for the rotation: balanced, properly packed, and priced for operators rather than billed as a premium add-on.

Do you cater halal, kosher, vegetarian, and allergy requirements at YHZ?

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and halal options are available on every menu at YHZ. Kosher orders are accommodated with a minimum of 24 hours' lead time. Note any requirements — including specific allergens — when placing the request; our coordinator confirms the full spec before the order is confirmed.

How do I place an order for a YHZ departure?

Contact us directly by phone, message, or the request form — whichever fits your workflow. Provide the departure date, aircraft type, passenger count, and any dietary notes. Your coordinator replies within 10 minutes with confirmation and a delivery window referenced to your CYHZ departure slot.

What does catering at YHZ cost?

Pricing at Halifax is per order, driven by menu selection, passenger count, and lead time — not a published rate card. Send your brief and a quote comes back in under 10 minutes. Same-day and last-minute requests are priced on the same basis; no blanket premium is applied for short notice.

Inflight Catering · Halifax

Inflight catering in Halifax

Halifax sits at the edge of some of the most productive cold-water fishing grounds in North America. Digby scallops, hand-dived and landed the same morning, are among the finest available anywhere on the continent — and they reach the YHZ ramp the same day. Yarmouth lobster, Nova Scotia oysters from Mahone Bay, and smoked mackerel from the Eastern Shore give any menu here a provenance that is impossible to replicate in an inland city. Beyond the sea, the Annapolis Valley — ninety minutes west of the CYHZ apron — supplies some of Canada's most consistent orchard fruit, heritage-variety cider apples, and market vegetables from June through October. Our sourcing works directly with Valley producers and Halifax's Seaport Farmers' Market, which means the quality cues you can pass to your principal are grounded in real, nameable places.

Regional Catering Menu · Halifax

Local sourcing for YHZ

A YHZ departure in any season calls for Digby scallops seared to order and packed galley-ready in insulated liners, Mahone Bay oysters on the half-shell with mignonette, or a composed salad of Valley greens with local chèvre and pickled blueberries from Cumberland County. For hot service, pan-roasted Atlantic halibut with a chive-cream and Nova Scotia potato gratin travels well in a wide-body configuration. Cheese boards draw on the province's small-batch creameries, and freshly baked oatcakes — a Maritime staple, not a tourist prop — finish a morning departure cleanly and with no allergen drama.
