Catering to your aircraft in Oscoda.
Oscoda Wurtsmith is a quiet former air base on the Huron shore, and a good place to hand a crew a well-packed galley. We cook for the aircraft you fly and the season you fly in.
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.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Michigan's northeast coast has a short, intense food season, and a private jet menu for Oscoda follows it. Lake Huron whitefish and lake trout are the signature fish of the region, traditionally smoked, and they travel well chilled for a cold plate. Michigan cherries, especially tart Montmorency, turn up in salads, compotes and dried form from summer into the fall, and the state's maple syrup and apples give an inflight menu its sweet notes. Pasties, a legacy of the Upper Peninsula, are a local speciality that survives a galley oven far better than most hot dishes.
For private jet food at KOSC, we build private jet platters from smoked whitefish, Michigan cheeses, cherries and apples, and gourmet inflight meals that finish in the oven: pasties, walleye and wild rice. Private jet snacks lean on dried cherries, roasted nuts and maple-sweetened bars. Every one of these local specialities is packed the way it will actually be served in the cabin, with the sauce in its own pot and cold items kept chilled until re-plating. Michigan produce changes with the month, so the menu does too.

Oscoda Wurtsmith sits on the Lake Huron shore of Michigan's northeast, on a former air base with a runway built for heavy bombers, so it handles far more aircraft than its traffic suggests. Private jet catering here is built around that long apron, the lake-country seasons and a galley that has to survive a crew-only handling process. For the flight attendant, inflight catering at KOSC means cold plates sized for the drawer, hot dishes finished in the oven, and in-flight catering marked by seat. Our aviation catering is written by former VIP flight attendants, from business aviation catering and executive jet catering for owners to diplomatic flight catering for official movements, with cabin crew meals packed separately.
A private jet chef plans the bespoke menu once we know the cabin and the party. For corporate jet catering, business jet catering and VIP flight catering from KOSC, we adapt to the oven and drawers; charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering stay separate from the charter fee.
For a state visit aircraft catering order at KOSC, traceability and discretion come first. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering are packed apart from other orders, with VIP aviation catering labelled by seat.
Special meals at Oscoda are built around what the Michigan kitchen actually uses: dairy, wheat in the pasties, nut oils in the baking. For kosher and halal orders we agree sourcing before the menu is written, then pack in sealed, labelled trays. Vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked and boxed away from the fish and cheese, and allergen free requests are handled as a procedure on their own board, not a note on a label. Kids meals are simple and match the seat plan.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.

Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
When a crew lands at KOSC, crew catering is simple: flight crew meals and pilot meals, ordered with the flight and billed on request. Cockpit meals are packed for eating at the controls, crew meal boxes are labelled, different meals for pilots are available, and cabin crew meals ride alongside.
We coordinate FBO catering with your handling agent so the handover at the general aviation terminal runs without delay. Catering delivery to the FBO and ground handling catering are agreed beforehand, and handling agent catering stays on one invoice.
Oscoda Wurtsmith's apron comes from its air-base past and has plenty of room, so aircraft provisioning here is rarely a space problem. What decides the loading is the type of aircraft: a light jet takes a hand-carried galley delivery, while a larger cabin may call for a high loader at the door. Galley catering is packed for the door height and the galley you have, and airside catering delivery is coordinated with your handling agent so the trolleys go straight to the aircraft.

Oscoda Wurtsmith is airport catering territory for corporate and private flights on Michigan's northeast coast. The field's air-base past gives general aviation a long runway and a quiet ramp, with FBO services and ground handling services that suit crews who want to land and leave without fuss.
KOSC is a modest business aviation hub, and its summer lake traffic sets the rhythm. We provide inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering for the crews who use it, including business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals.
US food import rules apply to flights arriving from abroad, with fresh meat, fruit and dairy the usual issues. Domestic departures from Oscoda face no such checks, but we plan every international leg around the arrival country's customs.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Choosing a cheese board and savoury canapés for 9 people at Oscoda Wurtsmith Airport was straightforward; the challenge was making it work with a short ground stop. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about written menu details. The Galley Girls suggested stackable containers for the sauces, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. Separating the starters from the first service items helped us avoid opening boxes we did not yet need.”
“Getting a cheese board and savoury canapés ready for 4 guests at KOSC required an order that accounted for a short ground stop. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the sauces, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. The quantities of breakfast portions matched our service plan, leaving us comfortable with the order before the final briefing. With private jet catering menu, careful attention to packing arrangement matters as much to our crew as the menu itself.”
“Several practical details needed attention at OSC, with prawn salad and small fruit plates requested for 7 guests and a small galley worktop to accommodate. The sandwiches from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. Our colleague could take over the sauces without asking where every component had been placed during preparation. This experience of private aviation catering gave us a useful reference for managing galley preparation on another departure.”
The cost of private jet catering from KOSC follows the dishes you choose and the galley you have. Customs rules for food import on international legs can exclude fresh items, so we quote what will actually be allowed on board.
The galley decides how the order is built. A single-oven light jet calls for cold plates and a hot main; a larger aircraft can take a full hot service. Orders placed late are still handled, provided we know the galley.
Domestic flights from Oscoda face no food customs at all, while international legs follow the arrival country. When weather moves your slot, we keep dishes that hold well, so nothing needs replacing at the aircraft.
Yes, you can bring your own food, and for a return leg we can cater the way back from Oscoda too, ordered with the outbound flight. Bringing food is fine domestically, but cross-border legs follow customs rules, so we plan the return menu with the destination's import rules in mind.
No, catering is outside the charter agreement. Early slots are easy here because the field is calm, and our phone line is open 24/7 for the order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
