How much notice do you need for a standard order at PLN?

We ask for as much lead time as your schedule permits. For most orders, 24 hours is sufficient; complex or large-volume requests benefit from 48 hours. Kosher catering requires a minimum of 24 hours' notice without exception.

Can you deliver to any handler on the ramp at Pellston?

Yes. With no single designated FBO, we coordinate delivery directly with whichever ground handling company is managing your aircraft, confirming timing and ramp access in advance.

Do you offer crew meals as well as passenger catering?

Crew meals are a standard part of our offering — properly nourishing, well-packaged, and priced separately from the passenger order. They can be added to any booking.

What local produce can you incorporate into a Pellston order?

Northern Michigan supplies exceptional smoked whitefish, lake trout, tart cherries, locally milled grain products, maple syrup, and seasonal soft fruit. We weave these into menus whenever availability allows.

Is Pellston catering available for early-morning or late-night departures?

Our operation runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Departure time does not affect availability, only the lead time required to source and prepare your order.

Can you also cater flights departing from nearby airports such as Traverse City or Gaylord?

Yes. Our network covers regional airports throughout northern Michigan, including those serving Gaylord, Traverse City, and beyond. Speak to your contact about consolidated ordering if you are operating multi-leg itineraries across the region.

Inflight Catering · Pellston

Private aviation catering at PLN

Pellston sits at the northern tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, a region defined by cold, clear lakes, dense boreal forest, and a seasonal rhythm that shapes what grows here. Proximity to the straits country means that smoked whitefish, foraged mushrooms, and orchard stone fruit from the surrounding counties are genuinely part of the local larder — not decorative claims. The airport serves a discerning clientele: those heading to Mackinac Island, the resort towns of Petoskey and Harbor Springs, or the broader fishing and hunting grounds of Emmet County. Our team understands that arriving passengers are often transitioning directly into a leisure or sporting itinerary, and we tailor provisions accordingly — hearty, high-quality, and immaculately presented.

Regional Catering Menu · Pellston

Pellston inflight catering

Northern Michigan's food identity is built around cold-water fish, wild game, and some of the finest tart cherries grown anywhere in North America. We source smoked Great Lakes whitefish and lake trout through regional suppliers, complementing them with local honey, maple products, and seasonal soft fruit when the calendar allows. Every order reflects the landscape passengers are flying into — or leaving behind. For crew meals, we apply the same sourcing discipline: balanced, satisfying food that travels well and fuels long sectors. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum 24-hour lead time, and all dietary specifications — allergen-conscious menus, plant-forward builds, high-protein selections — are handled through a single point of contact who responds within ten minutes of your initial enquiry.
