FBO Services at Oakland County International Airport
Michigan Aviation supports visiting crews, passengers and based operators at Oakland County International Airport (KPTK). Coordinate fueling, ramp services and ground arrangements with one on-airport team in Waterford, Michigan.
Plan your arrival
Line service & ramp support
Arrange aircraft marshalling, towing, ground power (GPU), lavatory service and potable water with the line team. Share aircraft type, required equipment and turnaround needs before arrival so the team can confirm the service plan.
Jet-A and 100LL fueling, overnight hangar and tiedown options can be coordinated as part of your visit. Confirm space and any aircraft-specific handling requirements in advance.
Aircraft deicing & winter departure support
Michigan Aviation offers heated hangar deicing, Type I fluid deicing, Type IV anti-icing and engine preheat at KPTK. Coordinate winter services with the line team before departure.
- Heated hangar deicing: Snow, ice and frost are thawed indoors without fluid on the airframe. The aircraft is dried before returning outside; allow time and confirm hangar availability.
- Type I fluid deicing: Heated fluid removes frost, snow and ice on the ramp ahead of departure.
- Type IV anti-icing: Applied to clean surfaces after deicing to provide temporary protection during precipitation, where approved for the aircraft. Follow the aircraft flight manual and applicable operating procedures.
- Engine preheat & overnight hangar: Arrange preheat for cold-soaked engines or reserve heated overnight space to help prepare for a winter departure.
Share your aircraft type, departure time and requested services in advance. Confirm availability, treatment and timing with the team. Holdover guidance depends on the fluid and weather conditions and is not a guarantee; the flight crew remains responsible for required contamination checks and a clean aircraft before takeoff.

Crew amenities
Use the pilot lounge, Wi-Fi, weather and flight-planning resources while preparing for the next leg. Coffee, refreshments and restrooms are available in the terminal.
A courtesy crew car is subject to availability. Confirm driver requirements and return timing before making plans.
Passenger amenities
The terminal provides a place to wait, use Wi-Fi and enjoy refreshments before departure. Coordinate passenger pickup and drop-off with the team to keep the transfer between aircraft and ground transportation straightforward.
Share mobility needs, baggage requirements and any special assistance requests in advance so arrangements can be confirmed.
Catering & rental car coordination
Contact the team to discuss catering and rental car arrangements. For catering, provide passenger count, dietary requirements, delivery time and aircraft departure time. Confirm the order, storage needs and vendor charges before departure.
For rental cars, share vehicle preferences, driver details and pickup and return times. Confirm availability and the handover location; a request is not a confirmed reservation.
Charter & flight department support
Send the aircraft details, trip schedule, crew contact and requested services together. Coordinate fuel, parking, passenger movements and transportation before arrival, and let the team know when plans change.
For longer stays or based operations, discuss hangar leasing and integrated office space. On-site maintenance and avionics requests should be scheduled separately with the appropriate team.
Hours & after-hours callout
Confirm staffed hours before planning your arrival. For an early departure or late arrival, arrange service in advance and confirm staffing, access, notice requirements and any callout charge. Do not assume 24-hour service or immediate after-hours availability.
