Houghton County Memorial Airport

Houghton County Memorial Airport (KCMX) is a medium airport in Hancock, MI. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KCMX or IATA code CMX. It sits in North America.

Houghton County Memorial Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

The longest runway measures 6,501 ft (1,982 m), a midsize and super-midsize-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Citation Longitude, Challenger 350, and Gulfstream G280. In practice this comfortable for most midsize and super-mid charter equipment.

Houghton County Memorial Airport lies at 1,095 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/Detroit. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess currently tracks 14 departing and 50 arriving private-jet legs at KCMX across the next six months of operator inventory. 3 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KCMX are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
