Ford Airport

Ford Airport (IMT), serving Iron Mountain and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, opened in the mid-20th century and operates from a single small terminal that handles both commercial and general aviation traffic; it’s a compact regional gateway important for business travelers and outdoor tourists. Located just a short drive from downtown Iron Mountain via US-2, the airport offers car rentals, taxis and local shuttle options with limited public transit, making connections to nearby cities straightforward. Generally competitively priced for short regional hops, IMT is served by regional carriers such as United Express (operated by SkyWest) with connections to major hubs like Chicago; it is not a major airline hub but provides reliable linkages for the region.
