Can you deliver directly to the aircraft at YRT?

Yes. We liaise with whichever ground handler is managing your aircraft and coordinate a planeside delivery timed to your departure. We confirm ramp access and any site-specific procedures before the order departs our kitchen.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger orders?

Absolutely. Crew meals are packaged, labelled, and stored separately from the passenger cabin service, in line with standard operational practice. Both can be ordered through a single point of contact.

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

Contact your dedicated Altitude Dining account manager immediately. Our operations desk is staffed 24 hours a day and will adjust production and delivery scheduling wherever the revised timeline allows.

Can you source ingredients local to the Rankin Inlet area?

Where supply chains and lead times permit, we incorporate regionally relevant ingredients — Arctic char, caribou, and similar northern produce — into bespoke menus. Availability must be confirmed at the time of ordering given the constraints of remote provisioning.

Is Rankin Inlet covered by your wider network if I am routing onward to Churchill or Thompson?

Yes. Our worldwide network means we can coordinate catering across multi-leg itineraries, including onward sectors to other northern Canadian airports. All legs are managed through a single order and a single contact.

How are orders packaged for a remote northern operation like CYRT?

All food is prepared galley-ready — portioned, labelled, and packed in insulated containers engineered to maintain temperature and presentation integrity over the transit time between our kitchen and your aircraft. Nothing arrives requiring further preparation by crew.

Q: How far in advance should I place a catering order for a flight through Rankin Inlet?

We recommend a minimum of 48 hours for standard orders at CYRT, given the logistical coordination required for remote northern operations. Kosher orders require at least 24 hours on top of that baseline, and we always appreciate longer lead times for complex menus.

Inflight Catering · Rankin Inlet

Private aviation catering at YRT

Rankin Inlet is one of Nunavut's principal hubs — a community shaped by the rhythms of the Arctic, where logistics are never incidental. Operating at YRT means understanding that distance is a constant variable, not an occasional inconvenience, and that every detail of a catering order must be resolved before the aircraft departs a southern provisioning point. The surrounding region is defined by open tundra, the vast waters of Hudson Bay, and a culture with deep Inuit roots. Arctic char, caribou, and bannock are part of the culinary fabric here. Where supply chains and lead times permit, we draw on that identity to give passengers something genuinely connected to the land beneath them.

Regional Catering Menu · Rankin Inlet

Rankin Inlet inflight catering

Given the remote position of CYRT, our kitchen operations for Rankin Inlet flights are coordinated well in advance, with cold-chain integrity maintained throughout the uplift journey. We build menus that travel well — composed salads sealed to order, slow-braised proteins that hold their character at altitude, and pâtisserie portioned and chilled for service hours after preparation. For flights originating or transiting through the region, we lean into hearty, warming profiles: smoked and cured proteins, root-vegetable preparations, and rich grain-based dishes that suit the climate and the appetite it produces. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum of 24 hours' notice, and all dietary specifications are confirmed at the time of order.
