Large airports in Michigan such as those in Detroit and Grand Rapids have seen a loss in revenue and passengers since the pandemic began.
Small airports in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula are confronting those same problems, but the negative effects are bigger.
However, operators of smaller airports say they’re looking forward to the future because there’s a projected increase in passengers this summer as COVID-19 vaccinations become more widespread.
For some smaller airports, day-to-day operations didn’t change much, officials said. For others, the changes were dramatic.
Manistee County Blacker Airport switched carriers on Oct. 1, after Cape Air won the bid to be the airline partner with the airport, according to airport director Barry Lind.
