Private jets consistently took off and landed as about 30 people rendezvoused Feb. 5 at a Marathon International Airport hanger. Monroe County and Marathon leaders discussed how general aviation stakeholders facilitate the success of the community and how rural airports serve as a runway for economic development, job recovery and emergency response. Marathon International Airport’s new Jet Center opened in July 20, and owner Marty Hiller was widely praised by those in attendance for his vision and success with Marathon airport operations. ”We look at our responsibility as the gateway to your community,” Hiller said, noting its primary job is safety. “We are the first and the last ones people see when [pilots and passengers] arrive and depart Marathon.” He said while 2020 numbers were flat, this year’s business is at 95% of previous years.
