Which handler will you deliver to at CMX?

We work handler-agnostically at Hancock. Once you confirm which handler is managing your aircraft, we coordinate directly with their ramp team to arrange a clean, timely handover — no additional steps required from you.

Can you accommodate kosher meals at Hancock?

Yes. Certified kosher meals are available with a minimum of 24 hours' notice, allowing us to source and transport properly sealed, certified provisions to the aircraft. Please flag this requirement at the time of booking.

What local produce can you source for a Hancock departure?

Lake Superior whitefish, foraged woodland mushrooms, and locally milled grains are among the Upper Peninsula ingredients we work with regularly. Seasonal availability influences the menu, and your account manager will advise on what is at its best around your travel date.

Do you cater crew meals separately from passenger meals?

Yes. Crew meals are packaged, labelled, and priced independently of the passenger order. We can align or differentiate the menus entirely — many operators prefer a heartier, simpler crew option alongside a more composed passenger service.

Can a flight continuing from Hancock to another Upper Peninsula airport be provisioned at both legs?

It can. Altitude Dining's network covers regional airports across the Upper Peninsula and beyond. Your account manager coordinates provisioning at each stop through a single order brief, maintaining consistency across the entire itinerary.

How far in advance should I place my Hancock catering order?

For standard fresh menus, 12 to 24 hours' notice is sufficient for most requests. Shorter lead times are handled case by case — contact us immediately and we will confirm what is achievable. Kosher and certain specialty dietary requirements need a firm 24-hour minimum.

Inflight Catering · Hancock

Inflight catering for Hancock flights

Hancock sits at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula, a spit of land that juts into Lake Superior and carries a distinct character: copper-mining heritage, dense boreal forest, and some of the most reliably dramatic winters in the continental United States. That remoteness is not an obstacle for Altitude Dining — it is the reason our northern Great Lakes supply chain exists. We work with regional purveyors who understand cold-climate agriculture and freshwater fishery, translating the Upper Peninsula's larder into refined inflight catering that reflects where the aircraft actually is. The surrounding communities — from Gwinn to Ironwood — share a culinary identity rooted in Scandinavian and Finnish immigration, wild game, and Lake Superior whitefish. We draw on those influences deliberately, offering passengers something genuinely of this place rather than a generic catering menu transplanted from a major hub.

Regional Catering Menu · Hancock

Hancock private jet catering

Lake Superior whitefish is the natural anchor of any Hancock-originated menu: cold-smoked and served on rye crispbread with crème fraîche and pickled mustard seed, or pan-roasted as a hot main with wild rice and a brown-butter caper sauce. Alongside it, we source locally foraged mushrooms — morels in early season, hen-of-the-woods through autumn — which appear in both crew meals and passenger starters with a lightness that travels well in a galley environment. For morning departures, the Finnish pasty tradition of the Upper Peninsula informs our savoury breakfast parcels: short-crust pastry enclosing scrambled egg, smoked meat, and roasted root vegetables, prepared fresh and vacuum-sealed for a clean galley finish. Pâtisserie leans into northern European sensibility — cardamom-scented Danish, cloudberry preserves on brioche — with portion sizing and packaging calibrated for tray service at altitude.
