Ford Airport

Ford Airport (KIMT) is a medium airport in Kingsford, MI. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KIMT or IATA code IMT. It sits in North America.

Ford 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 6,502 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.

Ford Airport lies at 1,182 ft elevation.

Local operations run on America/Menominee. 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 76 departing and 108 arriving private-jet legs at KIMT 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 KIMT 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.
