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

Inflight catering with the flavours of Holland (KBIV)

West Michigan is a working fruit belt, and the private jet menu for Holland leans on it. Blueberries from the Ottawa County fields, tart cherries from the orchards up the lakeshore and Honeycrisp apples all travel well in a galley, so they turn up in breakfast plates, salads and cold desserts. Lake Michigan whitefish and smoked whitefish dip are the local specialities most guests ask about: the smoked fish rides cold on a board, while the fresh fillet is pan-finished with the sauce in its own pot. An inflight menu built around Michigan means a Dutch-heritage touch too: stroopwafels with coffee, and almond banket pastry, which keeps for a long leg. Private jet food from here is plated for the galley you actually have, and the Michigan region gives you plenty of cold options when the oven is small. Ask for local specialities by name and we pack them with the guest's seat number on the lid, ready for your airport catering handover at West Michigan Regional.

The three founders, former VIP cabin crew, on a business jet airstair — private jet catering at West Michigan Regional Airport (KBIV)

West Michigan Regional sits on flat farmland east of Holland, and the traffic follows the calendar: tulip weeks in spring, boat-and-beach charters through summer, hunters and ski groups once the lake effect arrives. Private jet catering here is built for whatever galley the aircraft has, from a light jet with a single drawer to a midsize with a proper oven. Whether you call it inflight catering, in-flight catering or aviation catering, the job is the same: food cooked and packed by people who have worked your side of the galley door. We also cover business aviation catering, executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals when the trip asks for them.

Business aviationOur core

Corporate and VIP jet catering at West Michigan Regional Airport (KBIV)

In-flight catering for business jet crews at West Michigan Regional usually means a small cabin, a short sector and a client who wants something better than a sandwich. Business jet catering and corporate jet catering orders here lean on Michigan fruit and Lake Michigan fish. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same method: a private jet chef writes a bespoke menu around the aircraft's galley, and luxury inflight catering is plated cold or oven-finished depending on what the cabin can do.

State & royalDiscretion, protocol

Inflight catering for government and royal flights at West Michigan Regional Airport

Government flight catering at a small field like KBIV is mostly about discretion and traceability. For head of state flight catering, VIP aviation catering or state visit aircraft catering, the menu is cleared by protocol before anything is cooked, and a named team packs and labels it. Nothing is announced; the tray arrives at the aircraft the way the delegation expects.

Special meals

Kosher, halal, vegan and gluten free in-flight catering at West Michigan Regional Airport (KBIV)

At Holland the special meals question is mostly about allergens hiding in local pastry and smoked fish, so each restricted dish is cooked and boxed separately, with its own board and its own label. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are handled as a procedure, not a promise on a label, and kids meals are packed the same way, by seat number. Tell us the restriction and the seat, and the tray goes in the drawer marked so nobody opens the wrong one.

Crew & pilot mealsOn request

Crew meals and cockpit meals in Holland (KBIV)

Pilots and cabin crew on a KBIV turn rarely get a long break, so crew meals are built to be eaten fast. Flight crew meals come in crew meal boxes, hot or cold; pilot meals and cockpit meals are packed so they never share a tray with guest food. We offer different meals for pilots when the operator's policy asks for it. Crew catering is on request and facturé comme le reste.

DeliveryEvery FBO

Airport catering at the FBO or general aviation terminal, West Michigan Regional Airport

At West Michigan Regional, the FBO catering handover depends on airside access. Catering delivery to the FBO goes through the general aviation terminal; for ground handling catering we work with your handling agent on passes and escort. Handling agent catering stays simple when the tail and slot are confirmed.

High loaderLarge cabins, bizliners

Large cabin jet catering with a high loader at West Michigan Regional Airport (KBIV)

Most aircraft using West Michigan Regional are light and midsize jets with a door that a handling agent can reach by hand, so galley catering usually travels on a cart or in insulated boxes to the cabin steps. When a larger airframe comes in, airside catering delivery may need a high loader, and the handling agent arranges access to the apron. Tell us the type and the galley layout and we plan aircraft provisioning around the door height, the oven and the drawer space you actually have.

About the airportKBIV

General aviation and airport catering at West Michigan Regional Airport (KBIV)

Also listed as BIV.

West Michigan Regional is the general aviation field for Holland and the Lake Michigan shore, a small business aviation hub that fills with business jets in summer and seasonal charters year-round. Airport catering here is mostly quiet and local: a short apron, a terminal, a handling agent and a steady flow of private flights.

Business aviation

KBIV's business aviation hub traffic swings with the season: tulip weeks, boating summers and snowy winters. Inflight catering and in-flight catering orders change with it; business aviation catering for executives stays cold and clean, while executive jet catering for longer trips adds hot dishes. Aviation catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same plan, with crew meals, FBO services and ground handling services assumed as the aircraft needs.

Customs & food import

For a business aviation hub like KBIV, the customs question depends on the aircraft's last port. Flights arriving from abroad into the U.S. face federal agricultural rules: fresh fruit, meat and dairy from outside the country can be seized at inspection. Domestic flights into Holland have no such limit. When your trip crosses a border, plan the return meal here and keep it sealed.

★★★★★VIP AIRLINER

“Several practical details needed attention at West Michigan Regional Airport, with avocado toast components and breakfast fruit requested for 11 guests and a tight boarding window to accommodate. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the sandwiches and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. The cabin team could match the breakfast portions to the request before moving on to the remaining departure tasks. I would discuss business aviation catering with them again, especially when galley preparation needs careful coordination.”

★★★★★BUSINESS JET

“Our priority at West Michigan Regional Airport was a selection of petits fours and sandwiches for 11 passengers, with a tight boarding window shaping the service plan. The Galley Girls kept the main courses separate from the finishing elements, which gave us control over the final presentation. The order made jet catering feel manageable because the catering handover had been considered beforehand. Keeping the breakfast portions aside until service helped preserve the presentation while we dealt with the boarding tasks.”

★★★★★LIGHT JET

“With a short ground stop to consider at KBIV, we needed a practical way to serve mushroom risotto and a green salad to 3 passengers. With VIP flight catering, careful attention to cabin service sequence matters as much to our crew as the menu itself. Our request to The Galley Girls focused on the desserts, with enough detail to distinguish passenger portions from additional provisions. We also checked the salads before approval, which helped avoid a second round of questions later in the preparation.”

Ordering for KBIV, in shortAsked by crews

How much does private jet catering cost at KBIV?+

Cost is set by the aircraft, then by the dishes. In Holland, a light jet might take a cold platter and sealed snacks, while a midsize crew might want oven-finished whitefish. Season matters too: summer Michigan fruit is easy, winter berries are not. We answer how much private jet catering costs once we know the galley.

What is the lead time for private jet catering at West Michigan Regional?+

Weather drives departures here. Lake-effect snow in winter and thunderstorms in summer move slots, so we plan around your window rather than a fixed rule. Tell us the tail and the slot, and last-minute orders are handled; seasonal produce like cherries and blueberries is easy in summer, and winter menus lean on whitefish and apples.

What are the customs rules for catering at West Michigan Regional?+

When a return leg is ordered from Holland, customs comes down to where the aircraft has been. Domestic flights are easy. International returns carry U.S. restrictions on fresh fruit, meat and dairy, so we pack sealed items and label them clearly for inspection.

Can you bring food on board at KBIV, or must it be ordered?+

You can bring food on board. For night departures or early morning slots, though, it is simpler to order, since Holland is quiet at those hours. We hand over at the FBO or the aircraft, with trays marked by seat number.

Is catering part of a charter into Holland?+

Catering is not part of a charter. At West Michigan Regional, the food is a distinct order, billed like any other. Your handling agent manages airside access, and we plan the handover around their process.
