The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2021–2025 categorized it as a local general aviation facility.[2]

The first airline flights were North Central DC-3s in 1953–1954; successor Republic pulled out in 1981–1983.

Facilities

The airport covers 710 acres (287 ha) at an elevation of 651 feet (198 m). It has two asphalt runways: 17/35 is 5,001 by 100 feet (1,524 x 30 m) and 7/25 is 3,341 by 100 feet (1,018 x 30 m).[1]

For the year ending September 14, 2021 the airport had 33,100 aircraft operations, an average of 91 per day: 97% general aviation, 3% air taxi and less than 1% military. In January 2023, there were 60 aircraft based at this airport: 55 single-engine, 2 multi-engine, 1 jet and 2 glider.[1]

The Manitowoc (MTW) DME is on the field; the VOR function of this navaid was decommissioned sometime in mid-2019.

Lakeshore Aviation was the fixed-base operator (FBO) until December 1, 2013, when Manitowoc County took over operations.
