Pellston Regional Airport of Emmet County PLN / KPLN

The county-run FBO provides ramp handling, tie-downs for transient GA aircraft, courtesy shuttle, and crew amenities (lounge, conference room, snooze room, showers) as the airport's sole fixed-base operator.

SkyWest Airlines self-handles its own regional-jet service at PLN, flying as Delta Connection (year-round to Detroit, 3x daily) and seasonal United Express (Chicago O'Hare, May-Sept); airline staff perform check-in, ticketing, gate-agent, ramp and baggage duties with no third-party handler evident at this small station.

Emmet County directly operates the airport's own FBO and sells Jet A and 100LL avgas; AirNav lists current prices at $8.00/gal Jet A and $7.50/gal 100LL (as of 01-Jul-2026), with the facility/ramp fee waived on minimum fuel purchase. · 0530-2300 daily (per FBO listing; AirNav shows 0600-2300)

SkyWest ramp/ground crew are trained to perform winter aircraft de-icing as part of standard ramp-agent duties per SkyWest's general (companywide) job description; station-specific confirmation that de-icing is actually performed at PLN was not found, so this is an inference from self-handling plus northern-Michigan winters rather than a direct citation.

Ameriflight, a Part 135 scheduled cargo feeder carrier, self-handles small freighter flights connecting Pellston to Lansing and Sault Ste. Marie, MI; route confirmed via FlightAware flight-history for AMF1301 (KPLN-KLAN) and Wikipedia's airport cargo-carrier listing.

Wikipedia's airport data lists a FedEx Feeder cargo route between Pellston and Grand Rapids, MI; the specific contracted feeder operator flying this route under the FedEx Feeder program was not independently confirmed via flight-tracking or other sources.

Mackinaw Shuttle operates a passenger ground-transportation desk inside the PLN terminal (across from the luggage carousel), providing shuttle/charter transport between the airport and Mackinaw City/Mackinac Island ferry docks coordinated with flight arrivals.
