EMMET COUNTY, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – After more than two weeks of runway closures due to flooding, Pellston Regional Airport is scheduled to reopen on Tuesday, May 5.

Pellston officials said in a Facebook post that “the main ILS runway 14/32” will be open for traffic while “runway 5/23 will remain closed a little longer.” That closure will help crews continue to pump water away from the runway.
