Muskegon County Airport (IATA: MKG, ICAO: KMKG, FAA LID: MKG) is a public airport located four miles (6 km) south of the city of Muskegon in Norton Shores, Michigan, USA. The airport has two runways. It is mostly used for general aviation but is also served by United Express flying CRJ-200 regional jets to its Chicago-O'Hare hub. The airport and the county of Muskegon restored service to Chicago through the Essential Air Service program. History
In 1927, the Greater Muskegon Chamber of Commerce began a campaign to establish the Muskegon County Airport. The Muskegon County Board of Commissioners approved the construction of the airport's first terminal in 1931. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) project cost the county $12,000.
United Airlines ended flights to Chicago (ORD) in October 1979. Muskegon County Airport was the recipient of both the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 Balchen/Post Awards for outstanding achievement in snow and ice control in the small commercial service airport category. Midwest Connect discontinued service to Milwaukee (MKE), effective September 2008. Also in September, the Airport was awarded a $650,000 federal Small Community Air Service grant to restore non-stop flights to Chicago-O'Hare International Airport. On July 15, 2009, Mesaba Airlines petitioned the DOT for Essential Air Service subsidies to continue operating into Muskegon and seven other communities. Per DOT procedure, these cities were opened for for bids by all interested carriers. For Muskegon, SkyWest Airlines submitted a bid to provide service to Chicago which required less than half the annual subsidy Mesaba wanted to continue service to Detroit. SkyWest was selected in November, 2009, and began service on February 12, 2010, replacing Mesaba. SkyWest is under a two-year contract for the service.
The airport hosted an airshow called the Muskegon Air Fair until 2006. Due to budget deficits, the air fair was placed on hiatus for the summer of 2007, but has been reinstated during Muskegon's Summer Celebration.
