Charlevoix Municipal Airport (ICAO: KCVX, FAA LID: CVX) is a city-owned, public-use airport located one nautical mile (2 km) southwest of the central business district of Charlevoix, a city in Charlevoix County, Michigan, United States.[1] It is mostly used for general aviation, but also offers passenger service to Beaver Island via Island Airways and Fresh Air Aviation.[3]
As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 17,854 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,[4] 15,427 enplanements in 2009, and 14,966 in 2010.[5] It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a non primary commercial service facility.[6]
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Charlevoix Municipal Airport is assigned CVX by the FAA[1] but has no designation from the IATA.[7]
Charlevoix Municipal Airport covers an area of 185 acres (75 ha) at an elevation of 669 feet (204 m) above mean sea level. It has two runways: 9/27 is 4,550 by 75 feet (1,387 x 23 m) with an asphalt surface and 4/22 is 1,280 by 200 feet (390 x 61 m) with a turf surface.[1]
The airport has a city-run fixed-base operator that offers fuel, general maintenance, a crew lounge, a conference room, and more. An expanded fuel farm became operational at the airport in 2022 to accommodate a sharp increase in traffic.[8][9]
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2018, the airport had 30,000 aircraft operations, an average of 82 per day: 59% general aviation, 40% air taxi, and 2% military. At that time there were 18 aircraft based at this airport: 11 single-engine and 5 multi-engine airplanes as well as two jets.[1][10]
