The Pellston Regional Airport has extended its closure timeline for re-evaluation on Thursday, as the runways and some taxiways are still covered with running water.
The airport has been closed for fixed wing operations since last week due to the unsafe flooding conditions. Airport officials posted an update to Facebook on Sunday, April 19 that they are “anticipating that the sunshine and warmer weather in our forecast will help with eliminating the water hazards enough to allow normal operations to resume soon. We continue to communicate with the airlines, tenants and our recurring cargo flight operators to keep them advised of our situation as well.”
Airport tenants, including Hoppies Landing Restaurant, Mackinaw Shuttle, Avis/Budget rental car and the Delta airlines counter, remain open for their normal business hours.
