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

Mount Clemens on the plate: local specialities for in-flight catering at MTC

Michigan eats from its lakes and its orchards, and a private jet menu out of Mount Clemens leans on both. Lake perch and whitefish, pan-fried, are the classic Great Lakes plate, and they travel well when the sauce rides in its own pot. Traverse City cherries, dried or turned into a compote, work in a private jet snack box or beside a cheese board. A Detroit-style pizza, with its crisp cheese edge, is the local comfort food that crews ask for, and it re-heats cleanly in a galley oven. Coney dogs and pasties belong more to the crew table than the cabin. These local specialities are the basis of the private jet food we pack for Michigan, laid out as private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks. The inflight menu changes with the season: sweet corn and blueberries in late summer, apples and cider in autumn, root vegetables and smoked fish when the lake turns cold. Each dish is labelled for the galley it will meet, so nothing arrives that your oven cannot finish.

Mount Clemens sits on Lake St. Clair, which means fresh-water fish is the first thing a Michigan private jet menu thinks about. Walleye and perch go into the oven in foil, whitefish is served chilled with a dill cream apart. Michigan fruit gives the inflight menu its sweet side: cherries, blueberries and apples, plated as tarts or packed whole in a snack box. Detroit has its own table, with square pizza, Lebanese and Polish dishes, and the city's pierogi are a good hot option for a crew that has a long night ahead. Private jet food from this region is simple, seasonal and honest. Our local specialities for the Michigan flight line are built into private jet platters for the cabin, gourmet inflight meals for a plated dinner and private jet snacks for short hops, each packed to be re-plated by the person who serves.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport (KMTC)

A Michigan Air National Guard flight line sits at the heart of Selfridge, and the civil aircraft that call here park beside it. Private jet catering at KMTC is written around that setting: Great Lakes fish, Michigan fruit and a galley that rarely has more than a small oven. Inflight catering, in-flight catering and aviation catering all start with your type, your seat plan and the apron you are given. Business aviation catering and executive jet catering for Mount Clemens follow the same brief, diplomatic flight catering is cleared through protocol first, and cabin crew meals are boxed to be eaten standing at the jumpseat.

Business aviationOur core

Business jet & VIP jet catering at Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport

A business jet catering brief at KMTC is usually small and exact: four or six guests, one oven, a cold lunch or a plated dinner. Corporate jet catering here follows the Detroit rhythm, with early departures and tight turns. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering for Mount Clemens are written by a private jet chef who knows the galley. Luxury inflight catering with a bespoke menu draws on Lake St. Clair perch and Michigan fruit.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

State visit and VIP aviation catering at Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport

A state visit aircraft landing at Mount Clemens is cleared by the protocol office before any dish is planned, and the kitchen only cooks what protocol has approved. For this kind of state visit aircraft catering we keep every item traceable. Government flight catering is handled by a small named team, and head of state flight catering follows the same line. VIP aviation catering leaves in sealed, labelled boxes, which is how aviation catering is done for the Selfridge flight line.

Special meals

Halal, kosher and kids meals: inflight catering at Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport (MTC)

Dietary needs at Selfridge are handled as a procedure, not a label. Michigan kitchens lean on wheat, dairy and fish, so the usual traps are breaded perch, cream sauces and shared fryers. Kosher and halal meals are sealed and sent in their own packaging, vegan and gluten free dishes are cooked on a separate board, and allergen free orders get their own box with the seat number on it. Special meals and kids meals can be added to the same order, so the cabin eats the same menu in the version that suits each guest.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Pilot meals and crew meals at Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport (MTC)

When the cabin is full, the flight deck still has to eat. Crew meals for KMTC are ordered with the trip and billed as a separate line. Flight crew meals can be cold or hot; pilot meals are cooked and boxed separately so each pilot eats a different dish. Crew catering also covers cockpit meals, crew meal boxes and different meals for pilots, labelled by role.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering delivered to the FBO at Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport (KMTC)

The general aviation terminal at Mount Clemens is where the crew and the catering meet. We hand your order to the FBO or your handling agent, who takes it to the aircraft. FBO catering, catering delivery to the FBO and handling agent catering all depend on the apron access you have been given, so ground handling catering is planned with them.

Aircraft provisioning for large cabins: airport catering at Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport

On the Selfridge apron, the type of aircraft sets how the order is loaded. A light jet takes its catering through the cabin door, carried by hand, while a large-cabin aircraft may need a high loader for airside catering delivery to a higher galley door. Tell us the type and the tail so we can plan galley catering that fits the carts and the ovens. Aircraft provisioning on a shared military apron also depends on access, so we confirm the route with your handling agent before anything leaves the kitchen.

About the airportKMTC / MTC

About Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport (MTC): airport catering for business aviation

Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport is a military field with a civil side used by business aviation. Its Michigan setting on Lake St. Clair shapes the airport catering we pack, and general aviation traffic mixes with Guard operations. FBO services and ground handling services are available through your handling agent.

Business aviation

Business aviation hub is a stretch for Mount Clemens, but corporate crews still choose it. Inflight catering and in-flight catering for owners, aviation catering for flight departments, business aviation catering for charters and executive jet catering for a short stay are all on the table. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared through protocol, and cabin crew meals are packed for the jumpseat.

Customs & food import

The United States restricts the import of meat, fresh produce and dairy on inbound flights, and customs may remove leftover food. For departures from Michigan we load local catering after clearance, which keeps the order simple. Your handling agent can confirm anything that depends on the origin of the flight.

★★★★★ROYAL FLIGHT

“We kept the passenger brief simple at MTC: prawn salad and small fruit plates for 12 guests, organised with different crew meal preferences in mind. My main takeaway from this private jet catering menu order was the practical approach to cabin service sequence. The desserts from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. That left time to check the starters properly before the passengers were ready for the next part of the service.”

★★★★★LARGE CABIN

“I wanted beef fillet with roasted potatoes for 7 guests at Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport, packed sensibly for a cabin team dealing with a short ground stop. I needed the main courses checked against the revised brief; The Galley Girls answered without sending us through another lengthy exchange. We checked the canapés against the same summary, keeping the cabin team and the handling contact aligned. I would discuss private aviation catering with them again, especially when written menu details needs careful coordination.”

★★★★☆LIGHT JET

“Our priority at KMTC was fresh fruit and breakfast pastries for 2 passengers, with a tight boarding window shaping the service plan. I gave The Galley Girls our storage brief and asked for the desserts to arrive in sealed meal containers. The fruit plates were easy to locate, leaving the crew free to focus on the remaining cabin preparation. My main takeaway from this business jet catering order was the practical approach to crew briefing.”

Mount Clemens in five questionsAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost for a Michigan departure with lake perch on the menu?+

Think of the price as the sum of its dishes. Walleye, perch and Michigan cherries are seasonal and price accordingly, while Detroit-style pizza and apple tarts sit lower. How much does private jet catering cost at KMTC? It follows your order line by line, and it is invoiced like any other order.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at Selfridge, given the rules on importing food into the United States?+

Because customs rules for food entering the United States are strict, local sourcing is what keeps this simple. Perch, cherries and apples are bought in Michigan, which means the order does not depend on foreign supply. Lead time is shaped by the season and the menu, and a late request is still taken and worked.

Do customs rules affect catering on a large-cabin aircraft out of KMTC?+

Aircraft size changes how we pack more than what customs allows. A large-cabin jet has room for full oven trays and chilled drawers, so we can load a plated dinner. Customs sees the trip as a whole, and domestic Michigan food loaded for a departure is simple to declare.

Can you bring food on board yourself when departing Mount Clemens in winter?+

Yes. Bringing food is your choice, and the only limits are customs on international arrivals and the aircraft's own policy. In winter we suggest sealed containers and a labelled box, since the weather window decides when you leave and snacks should not spoil while you wait.

Is catering part of a charter when you order a return leg from Mount Clemens?+

The charter operator handles the flight, we handle the galley. Return legs from Selfridge are common, and each one is a new catering order. We keep both legs in mind when planning the menu so the return is not a repeat of the outbound.
