Airport contact
Township-owned island strip on Beaver Island (Lake Michigan); on-field FBO Fresh Air Aviation flies scheduled/on-demand service to Charlevoix (CVX) plus Mackinac Island charters, while the island's other carrier, Island Airways, uses its own privately owned Welke Airport (6Y8) rather than SJX. FAA publishes no enplanement data for SJX, so the pax figure is an estimate; no scheduled airline, no customs; turf runways close Nov-Apr.
