Carney’s airplane food bill nears $1M, including $160K on one trip
Defence Department records show Prime Minister Mark Carney's in-flight catering costs are approaching $1 million, with one trip alone racking up nearly $160,000.
Prime Minister Mark Carney and his entourage spent nearly $160,000 on in-flight catering during a single trip, dining on chicken chasseur, Chilean sea bass and “death by chocolate,” the Canadian Taxpayers Federation revealed.
“Carney spent more money on airplane food during one trip than the average family will spend on groceries in almost a decade,” said Franco Terrazzano, CTF Federal Director. “Carney keeps promising to spend less, but if he isn’t willing to cut back on airplane food, then what will he spend less on?”
The lavish bill comes despite government promises to cut costs and while other officials spent far less on in-flight catering.
Between March 2025 and March 2026, Mark Carney billed taxpayers nearly $1 million for in-flight catering, according to Defence Department records.
