PRINCE GEORGE – A new full-service restaurant and lounge is officially open at the Prince George Airport, marking a major addition to services available for travelers, airport workers and the broader community.

Altitude Restaurant + Lounge opened Monday in the main terminal at YXS, bringing full-service dining back to the airport for the first time in years. Located before the security screening checkpoint, the restaurant is accessible not only to passengers but also to airport employees and members of the public.

The new venue is operated by Noir Food Services Ltd. and represents the final phase of the company’s food and beverage rollout at the airport. The first phase, the Fly Away Café in the departures lounge, opened in May 2025.

Prince George Airport Authority Director of Commercial Development Daphne Shelton said the return of a full-service restaurant is an important milestone for the airport.

“Food and beverage is a pivotal part of any airport,” Shelton said. “It not only serves our traveling public, it’ll serve all of our airport employees and our business partners on the campus.”

Airport officials say the addition of Altitude helps create a more complete travel experience by improving passenger satisfaction while also providing a gathering space for the community. The restaurant offers breakfast options, casual fare, salads, entrées and a variety of beverages, including beer, wine, cocktails and mocktails.

Shelton noted that making the restaurant available to more than just travelers was a key priority.

“It was definitely a priority of ours, just to make sure that we had a restaurant open,” she said. “It’s a pivotal part of any commercial program, making sure that there’s food and beverage available not only to the public, but to all of the community. It helps with jobs. It helps with our economic growth in the region.”

Airport officials say early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with customers welcoming the return of full-service dining to YXS. Altitude Restaurant + Lounge is open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week.
