Sawyer International Airport (IATA: MQT, ICAO: KSAW, FAA LID: SAW) is a public airport located 17 miles (27 km) south of the central business district of Marquette, a city in Marquette County, Michigan, United States. The airport is publicly owned by Marquette County.
This commercial and general aviation airport is located near Gwinn, Michigan on a portion of the former K.I. Sawyer AFB, which closed in September 1995. The airport opened for passenger service in September 1999, serving Marquette and the surrounding area. It replaced the former Marquette County Airport (IATA: MQT, ICAO: KMQT, FAA LID: MQT) which closed the same year.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Sawyer International is assigned SAW by the FAA and MQT by the IATA (which had previously assigned SAW to Sabiha Gökçen International Airport in Istanbul, Turkey). The airport's ICAO identifier is KSAW. Facilities and aircraft
Sawyer International Airport covers an area of 2,100 acres (850 ha). It has a single asphalt/concrete runway, 12,370 x 150 ft (3,770 x 46 m), originally designed for B-52 bombers.
For 12-month period ending December 31, 2008, the airport had 22,515 aircraft operations, an average of 62 per day: 49% general aviation (10,940), 47% air taxi (10,536), <1% scheduled commercial (8), and 5% military (1,031). There are 44 aircraft based at this airport: 91% single engine (40) and 9% multi engine (4).
There is an industrial park, the Telkite Technology Park, adjacent to the airport, with 1,000 acres (4.0 km) of land and 1,500,000 square feet (139,000 m) of space in a Michigan Renaissance Zone, which exempts the tenant or owner from the majority of state and local taxes.
