Can you cater connecting airports on the same itinerary?

Yes. Through our worldwide network, a single brief covers Kincheloe and any onward stop — including nearby airports such as Pellston, Traverse City, or Sault Ste Marie — with one point of contact throughout.

Which handler do you deliver to at Kincheloe?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft. Let us know the handling arrangement when you place your order and we will coordinate directly with them on timing and positioning.

Do you offer crew meals separately from passenger orders?

Crew meals are available as a standalone order or as part of a combined brief. They are prepared in the same kitchen, portioned for practicality, and labelled clearly to keep the galley organised.

How are hot dishes packaged for a business jet galley?

Hot mains are portioned into oven-ready trays calibrated to common galley oven sizes, with reheating instructions attached. We build in a temperature buffer so dishes reach serving condition without overcooking at altitude.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements such as gluten-free or vegan?

Yes. Gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, nut-free, and low-sodium requirements are handled as standard. Please specify when ordering and our kitchen will ensure there is no cross-contamination in packaging.

What is your response time if I need to amend an order after placing it?

Our single point of contact replies within ten minutes around the clock. Amendments are accommodated as close to departure as kitchen and logistics timelines allow — contact us immediately and we will advise on what remains achievable.

Kincheloe private jet catering menu

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Kincheloe departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenUnited States

To start

Great Lakes Smoked Whitefish Rillette

Cold-smoked Upper Peninsula whitefish folded with crème fraîche, capers, and fine-diced shallot, served in a sealed jar with toasted rye crisps. Holds well at cabin temperature for up to two hours after service.

Hot main

Whitefish en Papillote with Dill and Preserved Lemon

Skin-on Great Lakes whitefish fillet sealed with unsalted butter, fresh dill, and preserved lemon, portioned into individual galley-ready parcels. Reheats in twelve minutes and arrives at the table self-sauced.

Hot main

Braised Michigan Venison Ragù with Soft Polenta

Slow-braised northern Michigan venison shoulder in a red wine and juniper reduction, served over stone-ground polenta. Portioned for reheating and finished tableside with a shaving of aged Parmesan.

Cold main

Cured Venison Loin with Pickled Morel and Watercress

Thinly sliced cold-cured venison loin arranged with pickled forest morel mushrooms, peppery watercress, and a smoked bone-marrow vinaigrette. A composed cold main that travels without compromise.

To finish

Montmorency Cherry Frangipane Tart

A pressed butter-pastry shell filled with almond frangipane and a conserve of Michigan Montmorency cherries, glazed with kirsch and finished with a quenelle of clotted cream packed separately.

Pâtisserie

Blueberry and Honey Financiers

Brown-butter financiers studded with Upper Peninsula wild blueberries and brushed with local wildflower honey. Baked the morning of departure and boxed in sets of four — equally suited to a morning departure or an in-flight pâtisserie course.

Inflight Catering · Kincheloe

Private jet catering in Kincheloe

Kincheloe sits in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a region shaped by the Great Lakes and defined by a short but vivid seasonal table. Whitefish from the cold waters near Sault Ste Marie — just 27 kilometres to the north — wild morel mushrooms from the surrounding forest floors, and tart Montmorency cherries from the orchards further south all reach our kitchen with minimal travel time, which means they reach your aircraft in peak condition. The Upper Peninsula carries a distinct character: unhurried, self-sufficient, and quietly exceptional. We let that character inform the provisions we build for departures here — honest ingredients treated with restraint, assembled into menus that feel entirely at home above the treeline yet composed enough for the most exacting passenger.

Regional Catering Menu · Kincheloe

Fresh catering for Kincheloe flights

Great Lakes whitefish is the anchor of any serious Upper Peninsula menu. We cure, smoke, or prepare it en papillote depending on the flight profile and passenger preference, pairing it with pickled ramp aioli or a dill-and-crème-fraîche finish. For meat-led orders, pasture-raised venison from Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula arrives as a pan-seared loin or a slow-braised ragù portioned precisely for galley reheating. Pâtisserie for Kincheloe departures leans into the region's fruit heritage — cherry frangipane tarts, blueberry financiers glazed with local honey, and a whipped ricotta with preserved lingonberry that works equally well as a breakfast element or a composed dessert. Crew meals are built on the same kitchen line, never as an afterthought: hearty, well-seasoned, and packaged for a practical galley.
