Delta County Airport

Delta County Airport is the main general aviation airport for Escanaba and the surrounding Upper Peninsula region. The airport sits at 609 feet elevation and handles a mix of charter, corporate, and recreational traffic. No slot requirements, no congestion. Arrival and departure are straightforward operations year-round, though Upper Peninsula winters bring snow and ice that can affect ground operations. Runway length supports light to midsize jet operations.

The FBO provides fuel and basic ground handling. The terminal is small and unhurried, which is the appeal for passengers flying into the UP. Expect a quiet ramp, no crowds, and quick turns. This is not a high-density operation. Cherry Capital Flight is the active charter operator here, handling both scheduled and on-demand flying for the region.

Downtown Escanaba is about 3 miles east of the airport, a 5-minute drive. Car rentals are available through the terminal. The broader Delta County area is served by local taxi and car services, though options are limited compared to larger markets. Green Bay, Wisconsin is approximately 100 miles south via US-2, a drive of about 1 hour 45 minutes. Marquette is roughly 85 miles northeast, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Chicago is approximately 340 miles south, a 5.5-hour drive.
