What role does the Department of Aeronautics play in determining the level of air service at GFIA?
Quality air service is critical to West Michigan’s economy, and the Department of Aeronautics is involved in ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the level of air service at the airport. Department of Aeronautics staff meet on a regular basis with the airlines that currently serve the airport, as well as airlines not currently serving GFIA. While the Department of Aeronautics is not able to directly set airfares, routes, or flight schedules, the cooperative relationships we maintain with our airline partners allow us to help build and maintain quality air service offerings for West Michigan.
