What we plan around at MCD.
Local constraints we build into every delivery window — curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.
No cars — so we pack for the horse.
Everything moves by horse-drawn dray and hand-carry. Our packaging is built to be lifted, sorted, and carted by hand over the last mile — sturdy, stackable, and clearly labeled, not fragile plated trays that won't survive a dray.
No fuel on the island.
MCD has no fuel service — the aircraft plans fuel around the trip; we simply note it because it shapes the schedule.
The Grand Hotel & the season.
Most travel is May–October (winter is weather-dependent and very limited); the Grand Hotel, the resorts, and the Mackinac Policy Conference (late May/early June) are the drivers — resort and event provisioning coordinated to the hotel.
Quick-turn loading area.
The terminal has a loading area for quick turns — we time delivery to it.

Around MCD.
Mackinac Island flights draw on Straits-of-Mackinac sourcing — Great Lakes whitefish (the regional signature) and lake fish, Michigan produce and the famous Mackinac fudge, and the island's resort dining (the Grand Hotel sets the bar). Because the island's own supply arrives by ferry, we coordinate with the resorts and stage from the mainland (St. Ignace/Mackinaw City) where needed.
