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 Lansing

Michigan is Great Lakes country, and a private jet menu from Lansing starts with the water: whitefish, lake trout and smoked fish from the northern shore, all of it travelling well chilled. An inflight menu here can carry whitefish dip and rye crisps in the cold course, with the dip in its own pot so nothing weeps in the drawer.

Private jet food built on Michigan fruit works because the state grows it: tart cherries from the northwest, apples from the fall orchards, blueberries in summer. These local specialities become a cherry and goat cheese salad, an apple slaw for the roast, a blueberry compote kept apart from the cake.

Lansing sits in farm country, so the hot side leans on corn-fed beef, pasties from the Upper Peninsula tradition and maple from the state's sugar bushes. Private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks can all be built from these local specialities. Your handling agent receives the order airside and passes it to the aircraft.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Capital Region International Airport (KLAN)

Capital Region International sits at 861 ft on the Michigan plain, and winter here decides more of a trip than any menu does. Private jet catering at KLAN is built around that: dishes that hold through de-icing waits and a late wheels-up, packed for the galley you actually fly. We cover inflight catering, in-flight catering for the return leg, and aviation catering for the crew up front, so business aviation catering at Lansing arrives labelled and ready to re-plate. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering for visiting delegations and cabin crew meals all ride in the same order.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet catering at Capital Region International Airport for VIP flights

A typical business jet catering order at KLAN is a short brief: a cold board for the outbound, a hot main for the return, and the dietary cards for the passengers. Corporate jet catering here often means automotive and state-government travellers, so VIP flight catering stays quiet and exact. A private jet chef writes the bespoke menu around your galley, and charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering follow the same method.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Government flight catering and aviation catering at Capital Region International Airport (KLAN)

When a delegation lands at KLAN, government flight catering starts with protocol, not with the plate. Head of state flight catering gets a named team and traceability for every dish, and VIP aviation catering is handled quietly. For state visit aircraft catering, the handover goes through the FBO and the handling agent.

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Capital Region International Airport (LAN)

Special meals at KLAN follow the kitchen's own routine, not a label slapped on at the end. Kosher and halal meals travel sealed in their own packaging, vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked on separate boards, and allergen free orders are built from a short list of ingredients that leaves out the Michigan nut and dairy staples. Kids meals are planned around what a small passenger will actually eat in a cabin.

Crew meal boxes and crew meals at Capital Region International Airport

A short turn at Capital Region International leaves the crew little time at the table, so crew catering is built for the jumpseat. Crew meals and flight crew meals ride in the same order as the guest food, as crew meal boxes labelled CREW. Pilot meals and cockpit meals can differ for each pilot, offering different meals for pilots when the operator asks. Cabin crew meals are billed like any item on request.

DeliveryEvery FBO

FBO catering at Capital Region International Airport (LAN): delivery to your aircraft

At Capital Region International, the order goes to the FBO first, and from there to the aircraft with your handling agent. FBO catering and catering delivery to the FBO are agreed ahead for the general aviation terminal. Ground handling catering means we hand to your handler; handling agent catering is simply the other half of the same handover.

Galley-door delivery and aviation catering at Capital Region International Airport (LAN)

Larger aircraft landing at Lansing change the plan before anything is cooked. For galley catering on a bigger cabin, tell us the type and we plan the trolley count, the loading door and whether the airside catering delivery needs a high loader. Aircraft provisioning is coordinated with your handling agent so the order reaches the right door, not just the right ramp.

About the airportKLAN / LAN

Airport catering at Capital Region International Airport (KLAN)

Capital Region International (KLAN, also LAN) serves Michigan's capital at 861 ft above sea level. Airport catering here sits beside the general aviation terminal, where FBO services and ground handling services handle the corporate and charter traffic. For a regional field it keeps a busy business aviation hub rhythm.

Business aviation

Michigan's automotive and government work means a steady stream of executive jet catering orders, and business aviation catering at Lansing runs on weekdays more than weekends. Inflight catering for the outbound and in-flight catering for the return are planned together, while aviation catering for a legislator's charter stays low-key. Diplomatic flight catering is rarer but follows protocol, and cabin crew meals ride along on request.

Customs & food import

International flights leaving KLAN follow the destination's import rules for food, with meat, dairy and fresh produce the usual flags. Arrivals from abroad into Michigan face US agricultural controls, so our orders for inbound legs avoid restricted items. Your handling agent confirms the clearance route for the aircraft.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Clear quantities were essential at LAN: we had 6 passengers expecting roasted chicken and seasonal vegetables and were working around limited fridge space. I needed the sauces checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. We checked the crew provisions against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. I want a private jet chef to understand storage requirements, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“Keeping the galley organised at Capital Region International Airport meant planning vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 5 guests with a tight boarding window in mind. I asked The Galley Girls for the side dishes in stackable containers, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. It made a difference to have the breakfast portions ready without cluttering the galley work area during preparation. My main takeaway from this in flight catering order was the practical approach to catering handover.”

★★★★★GOVERNMENT

“I wanted vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 11 guests at KLAN, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with several individual meal preferences. I asked The Galley Girls to review the side dishes quantities against the passenger brief, and the proposed portions made sense. My main takeaway from this inflight catering services order was the practical approach to crew briefing. There was enough information about the crew provisions to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”

The Capital Region International questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a winter departure from Lansing, when ice and snow can shuffle the schedule?+

Think of a snow-delayed charter out of Lansing: the cabin wants warm food at an uncertain hour, and that is a different brief from a clear July afternoon. How much private jet catering costs depends on that brief, so we price it once we know seats, aircraft and menu.

What is the lead time for private jet catering when you also want a return leg ordered from Lansing for the way back?+

Lead time at KLAN is simple to manage: put the outbound and return legs into one order and we plan both together. Last-minute orders are handled, so a changed return does not break the plan.

What do customs mean for catering on a night departure or early morning slot at Lansing?+

Customs does not care that it is midnight, but the people who handle your food do. For a night wheels-up from Lansing we keep ingredients on the clean list for the destination and agree the handover with your handling agent.

Can you bring food of your own through the handling agent and airside access at Lansing?+

Outside food can fly, but it goes through your handling agent and the same airside check as everything else. We hand our own orders over at the aircraft, packed and labelled by seat.

Is catering part of a charter on a short repositioning flight into Lansing with an empty cabin?+

For an empty-cabin hop into Lansing, there is nothing to feed on the first leg. The order we write is for the leg with passengers, invoiced on its own like any other catering order.
