Three of us. All ex VIP cabin crew.

We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.

The local tableCooked so it travels

Private jet catering with local specialities from Battle Creek

Michigan eats from its lakes and its orchards, and a private jet menu built around Battle Creek can lean on both. Local specialities travel well when they are chosen for the galley: Lake Michigan whitefish baked and chilled, Michigan cherries in a salad or a compote, sweet corn in season, and cheese from the dairy farms around the state. On an inflight menu these read as clean, plated dishes rather than heavy plates that sag in a drawer.

Private jet food out of Kellogg Field starts with what the season gives Michigan. In summer that means blueberries, peaches and sweet corn; in autumn, apples and cider-glazed pork; in winter, smoked fish and root vegetables that hold their shape. Private jet platters for a short hop, gourmet inflight meals for a longer leg and private jet snacks for the cabin are all built from these local specialities.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field (KBTL)

Kellogg Field sits at 952 feet in southwest Michigan, and most of what lands there is a light or midsize jet with a one-oven galley. Private jet catering at Battle Creek Executive (KBTL / BTL) is cooked and packed for that galley: sealed trays, sauces apart, seat numbers on the lids. In the same way we handle inflight catering and in-flight catering for cabins of any size, and the order reaches the FBO or your handling agent. On top of that, our aviation catering and business aviation catering cover the full trip, with cabin crew meals on request.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field

Business jet catering at Battle Creek usually serves plant visits and executive trips: four to eight passengers, one leg out and one back. Corporate jet catering here tends to be a clean breakfast or a plated lunch; VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same method. For luxury inflight catering, a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the cabin, whether that means whitefish for a dinner or a cold platter for a morning departure.

Allergen free special meals and aviation catering at Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field (KBTL)

Battle Creek kitchens lean on dairy, wheat and nuts, so allergen separation is a matter of where a dish is cooked and packed: cereal-style granola and cheese boards are kept apart from anything labelled allergen free. Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free meals are ordered for the specific flight, with special meals and kids meals marked by seat number and restriction rather than by name.

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field (KBTL)

The FBO on the field is where catering delivery to Kellogg Field lands. We coordinate with the handling agent and the general aviation terminal, so FBO catering reaches the ramp as one order, and ground handling catering and handling agent catering stay on the same sheet.

About the airportKBTL / BTL

General aviation and airport catering at Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field (BTL)

Kellogg Field is a small airport with a clear job: general aviation for Battle Creek and nearby towns. Airport catering, FBO services and ground handling services are what crews need most; the field serves as a business aviation hub for local firms.

Business aviation

Inflight catering and in-flight catering at KBTL mostly serve light jets, and aviation catering and business aviation catering follow the executives who fly for the plants and the lakes. Executive jet catering for a short leg, diplomatic flight catering for official travel and cabin crew meals for the rotation are all ordered through the same line.

Customs & food import

International legs out of Kellogg Field are governed by the destination's rules on meat, dairy and fresh produce, and a domestic hop inside the United States is simpler. We tell you what to avoid when the next stop crosses a border and pack sealed, labelled trays.

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“Despite several individual meal preferences, we wanted the 6 guests at BTL to enjoy beef fillet with roasted potatoes without a complicated cabin service. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the canapés, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. It was useful to see the sandwiches listed separately when checking how much space the complete order would require. Our brief for FBO catering was met with a sensible plan for galley preparation.”

Rachel Q. | Government flight manager

★★★★★CHARTER

“Several practical details needed attention at Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field, with roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings requested for 7 guests and different crew meal preferences to accommodate. The Galley Girls used a readable packing list for the salads, which helped when two colleagues checked the order together. The order made airport catering feel manageable because the storage requirements had been considered beforehand. The crew provisions were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“Getting a cold lunch with cheese and fruit ready for 3 guests at KBTL required an order that accounted for a revised passenger count. Our brief for inflight catering was met with a sensible plan for final order confirmation. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the desserts to arrive in separate meal boxes. Separating the sandwiches from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”

Asked before every KBTL slotAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a summer or winter departure out of Battle Creek?+

Michigan's weather window decides who flies here, and the same window shapes cost. Summer departures with local produce price lower; winter departures with imported fruit price higher. A plated whitefish dinner for six is a different figure from a cold lunch for four, and we confirm it by email.

What is the lead time for a return leg catering order from Battle Creek?+

When the leg home is part of the same trip, we write one order with two menus and two delivery points. Late changes are accepted, and we work them against the slot you give us.

What do customs mean for a night or early-morning departure from Battle Creek?+

Early departures from Battle Creek are quiet, and so is the apron. For cross-border legs we keep menus to items that clear easily, and we mark each tray so an inspector sees at once what is inside.

Can you bring food to the aircraft yourself at Battle Creek, and how does airside access work?+

Handling agents at Battle Creek expect catering to come through a known supplier. If you prefer to carry your own, tell the agent early; if you prefer ours, we do the coordination.

Is catering part of a charter for a short repositioning flight into Battle Creek?+

Catering is a separate order from the aircraft, and that includes repositioning flights. An empty cabin into Kellogg Field may still need crew meals, and those are ordered and invoiced like any other meal.
