Bishop International Airport

Bishop International Airport (KFNT) sits in Flint, Michigan, 60 miles north of downtown Detroit. The field handles modest commercial service (American, Delta, Allegiant, Frontier) and a meaningful flow of business aviation, particularly the General Motors flow (Flint is GM's birthplace, and the surrounding plants drive corporate-aviation traffic), the Lake Michigan vacation flow, and the Up North Michigan summer cabin circuit. The two runways at KFNT (9/27 7,851 ft, 18/36 7,201 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. AvFlight Flint operates the FBO. Field elevation is 782 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational considerations are Michigan winter weather (heavy snow, persistent cold, deicing operations are constant from December–March), summer thunderstorms, and the structural Up North Michigan summer leisure flow (Memorial Day through Labor Day). Ground time to downtown Flint is 10–15 minutes; the GM Tech Center in Warren is 60–75; the I-75 north corridor to Traverse City and the cabin country is 2.5–3 hours.
