CAA Preferred, 24/7 FBO with on-site U.S. Customs. The usual handoff for corporate, charter, cargo and oversized tails on this field.

Avflight is the primary full-service FBO. If a based cargo or charter operator is holding the tail instead, tell us who. For Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham and Troy use Oakland County; for downtown use Coleman A. Young; for international commercial connections use Detroit Metro.

Briefing

What we plan around at YIP.

Local constraints we build into every delivery window — curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.

01

Heavy-tail and industrial heritage.

Willow Run was built for wartime production and still takes aircraft that would be awkward at Oakland County or Coleman A. Young. Long runways are the point of coming here.

02

Customs on field.

Avflight supports on-site U.S. Customs. International arrivals still need advance arrangement — confirm the window when you brief us.

03

Ann Arbor and western-metro access.

Belleville sits between Detroit Metro and Ann Arbor. Useful for University of Michigan traffic that outgrows Ann Arbor Municipal, and for western-suburb destinations.

04

Great Lakes winter.

Snow and de-icing delays are routine from December through March. We pack for an extended ground hold rather than assuming the filed slot holds.

05

Confirm the handler.

Delivery starts with Avflight or the based operator holding the tail.

Local sourcing

Around YIP.

Michigan sourcing — Great Lakes fish, the fruit belt, and Dearborn's Middle Eastern depth when the routing makes that the natural kitchen.

Great Lakes fish.

Whitefish and perch from the lakes, plus smoked fish from the northern shore.

Michigan's fruit belt.

Cherries, blueberries, peaches and apples from the west side of the state in their seasons.

Dearborn and Detroit kitchens.

Middle Eastern sourcing at a depth few US metros can match, alongside Detroit's Polish and Coney traditions.

Halal and special diets.

Halal provisioning is routine here rather than special-order. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergen and religious-observance menus on 24-hour lead.
