Capital Region International Airport (IATA: LAN, ICAO: KLAN, FAA LID: LAN), formerly known as Lansing Capital City Airport, is a public, Class C airport located 3 miles (5 km) northwest of downtown Lansing in DeWitt Township, Michigan. Small portions of the airport are located in Watertown Township, Delta Township, and the city of Lansing.[note 1]

The airport is owned and operated by the Capital Region Airport Authority, an eight-member governing board. Three members represent Ingham County and three members represent the City of Lansing. Two ex officio members represent Eaton County and Clinton County.[4] The Airport Authority also oversees nearby Jewett Field (TEW) in Mason, Michigan.[5]

According to the Airport Authority, 358,307 people flew to or from the airport in 2011, a 17 percent drop from 2008, and a 45 percent drop since 2000.[3] Capital Region International Airport is a focus city for Sun Country Airlines.[6]

[edit] History

[edit] Early 1900s

The first recorded flight in Lansing took place on October 15, 1911, at an old racecourse (now the Red Cedar Golf Course). More than 20,000 spectators watched pilot Jimmy Ward perform stunts in the Shooting Star, his Curtiss biplane.[7] In 1919 the first airfield in Lansing opened approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) west of downtown. The second airfield opened the following year 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of downtown.[note 2] From 1922 to 1926 Lansing's airport was Creyts Field, located 1 mile (1.6 km) west of the current airport. The 80 acres (32 ha) field was operated by Chamber of Commerce Secretary Charley Davis. In 1925 Lt Harry Warner arrived in Lansing to help Davis and others select the current site for Capital City Airport.[8] The selected site was a 300 acres (121 ha) state-owned hayfield and marsh (known as Chandler's Marsh), originally planned to be a boys' vocational school.[9]

The dedication of Capital City Airport was held on the weekend of July 14–15, 1928, and attended by 70,000 people, including arctic explorer George Hubert Wilkins and aviator Carl Eielson. Pilots from Selfridge Field and members of the Michigan National Guard 107th Observation Squadron performed in an exhibition air show.[10] A Stinson Detroiter plane arrived at the airport with Lansing's first air mail delivery on July 5, 1928. Mayor Laird J. Troyer, Chamber of Commerce President Alton J. Hager, and airport committee chairman Clyde B. Smith, among others, were present to witness the plane's arrival.[11] Regular cargo service from Capital City Airport began on July 17, 1928, via Transamerican Airlines. That day pilot C.V. Pickup departed with five sacks of mail en route to New York City. Lansing postmaster Walter G. Rogers was among those present to witness the event.[12]

In 1929 J.D. Foster completed construction on a 60-by-120-foot, 7,200 square feet (669 m2) aircraft hangar, the first building in what would become known as the Francis Aviation Complex at Capital City Airport. By the end of the year, fixed-base operators Foster Airways, SKF Air Service, Inc., and Wolverine Flying Service, Ltd. had constructed hangars at the airport.[13] Passenger service commenced on September 1, 1929, by Kohler Aviation Corp. to Detroit and Milwaukee. By 1934 Pennsylvania Airlines and Transport was providing air mail and passenger service to Detroit, Grand Rapids, Muskegon, and across Lake Michigan.[8][14] The Foster Hangar housed a flight school operated by Harvey Hughes from 1934 to 1936. In the late 1930s, Lansing aviator, Lt Arthur J. Davis, operated Michigan Airways, Inc. out of the hangar.[13]

During World War II, Francis Aviation and Hughes Flying Service provided ground and flight training to 300 pilots per month as part of the U.S. Government's Civilian Pilot Training Program and War Training Service. The training included three weeks of instruction at Michigan State College and continued at Capital City Airport.[15]

The airport's original terminal building was constructed in 1940. The same year, a 100-by-100-foot concrete hangar and an adjoining office wing were completed at the west end of the airport. In addition, the airport acquired 67 acres (27 ha) of land adjoining the north side of the airport and runway 6/24 was extended by 1,000 feet (305 m). Also in 1940 the airport unsuccessfully bid for an $8.4 million Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.[14][16]

[edit] 1950s–1970s

Increasing demand for air service led to the construction of the current terminal building in 1959. The terminal has undergone several renovations and additions since then.[14] In April 1967 a new $38,000 observation room opened in the terminal. The room allowed viewers to hear radio communications between the airplane pilots and control tower through a loud speaker.[16]

In the early 1960s, Lansing Community College leased the Francis Aviation Complex at Capital City Airport. The college relocated to a new facility near the airport terminal in 1974.[15] In 1963 Capital City Airport served over 100,000 passengers for the first time; by 1968 airport usage had surpassed 250,000 passengers.[3] In April 1968 presidential candidate and Senator Robert F. Kennedy landed at Capital City Airport.[18] Later that year presidential candidate and Senator George McGovern landed at the airport.[19]

In 1970 Michigan Public Act 73 allowed the creation of the Capital Region Airport Authority, transferring jurisdiction of the airport from the State of Michigan to the Airport Authority.[4] The airport's first surveillance radar was installed in 1973. By 1977 the approach lighting system and instrument landing system for runway 10R was activated.[14] From 1978 to 1991 fixed-base operator and aerial photography company White Star Photography purchased and operated from the Francis Aviation Complex.[15]

In 1980 a 5,300 square feet (492 m2) airport fire station was built. An air carrier terminal apron reconstruction followed in 1982. Between 1988 and 1990 runway 14/32 was decommissioned and became taxiway F.[14]

In January 1987 United Airlines announced that it was ending flights between Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) and Lansing on April 5, after nearly 56 years of service. United Express, operated by Air Wisconsin, resumed the service to Chicago.[22] In 1989 airport usage surpassed 500,000 passengers for the first time.[3]

During the 1990s, the Francis Aviation Complex was demolished for airport expansion and for compliance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations.[15] In 1992 a major renovation of the terminal building included the addition of 50,000 square feet (4,645 m2) to the facility. The following year the public parking lot was reconstructed and a new airport surveillance radar (ASR-9) was activated.[14]

President Bill Clinton landed at the airport aboard Air Force One on July 22, 1999, to hold a forum on Medicare at Lansing Community College.[23]

[edit] 2000s

[edit] Flight reductions

During the 2000s, Capital Region International Airport has seen the number of daily flights reduced from 35 to 12.[24] In May 2000 American Eagle Airlines discontinued its flights to Chicago-O'Hare, eliminating five daily flights and 23 positions at the Lansing airport.[25] Chicago Express/ATA Connection Airlines ended service from Lansing to Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) in 2001.[26] In October 2003 US Airways ended daily flights to its Pittsburgh hub. Continental Airlines suspended its daily flights to Cleveland effective January 2004.[27] In 2005 Midwest Connect ended service to Milwaukee General Mitchell International Airport (MKE).[28] In September 2007 Continental Airlines announced three daily flights from Lansing to the airline's hub in Cleveland to begin in May 2008;[29] however, rising fuel costs and the delay of terminal expansion plans at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) caused Continental to suspend these flights before they began.[30] Delta Air Lines announced in July 2008 that it was ending its three daily non-stop flights (via Comair) from Lansing to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) effective September 1, eliminating 26 jobs at Lansing's airport. Delta also offered non-stop flights (via Atlantic Southeast Airlines) from Lansing to Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) from 2005 to 2007.[31]

[edit] Low cost airlines

Several low cost carriers offered service to and from Lansing, with varying degrees of success. In July 2003 Allegiant Air began offering nonstop flights from Lansing to Las Vegas McCarran International Airport (LAS). The addition of the low cost carrier enabled the average fare from Lansing to drop by 35 percent.[32] Over the next few years, Allegiant added flights to Orlando-Sanford (SFB) in May 2005 and St. Petersburg-Clearwater (PIE) in December 2006. In November 2008 Allegiant announced that it would depart Lansing's airport and move to nearby Grand Rapids Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR) effective January 2009, citing reduced competition from Detroit Metro Airport and financial incentives as the reasons for the move.[33] In July 2004 Independence Air began nonstop flights from Lansing to Washington, D.C.'s Dulles International Airport (IAD).[34] Northwest Airlines soon followed with similar flights to Dulles. Up to 11 direct flights a day were offered from Lansing to Washington, D.C. between the two airlines, with some flights as low as $29. Independence Air left the Lansing market in January 2005, citing high fuel prices and heavy competition from Northwest.[35] In June 2005 Northwest moved their Lansing flights from Dulles to Reagan National Airport (DCA). By January 2006 Northwest canceled this route, leaving Lansing with no direct flights to Washington, D.C.[36] In March 2009 start-up carrier JetAmerica (previously known as Air Azul) announced direct flights starting in July 2009 between Lansing, Newark, and Baltimore.[37] However, after delaying the start of flights, the company folded on July 17 without operating a single flight.[38]

[edit] International flights

There have been several attempts at establishing international passenger service at the airport. In April 2004 Laker Airways Bahamas Ltd. announced flights from Lansing to the Bahamas, with an intermediate stop at Rickenbacker International Airport (LCK) in Columbus, Ohio, to begin that fall.[40] In January 2008 Kenny Tours announced non-stop flights from Lansing to Shannon, Ireland, dubbed Shamrock Express, to begin in June 2008.[41] In both cases, the service was canceled before flights began.[42] Apple Vacations announced in July 2009 that starting in December they will offer weekly seasonal flights to Cancún, Mexico on USA3000 Airlines. These are the first non-stop international flights from Lansing.[43]

[edit] Facility upgrades and closures

In January 2008 Capital Region International Airport was designated as an International Port of Entry into the United States, with Customs and Border Protection officers on duty to process international passengers and air freight. By May 2009 a new 14,000 square feet (1,301 m2) federal inspection station opened in the terminal, capable of processing 200 passengers per hour.[44]

In November 2008 a 500 feet (152 m) extension to the largest of the three runways — now 8,506 feet (2,593 m) — was completed to allow for larger aircraft to use the airport. The $9.9 million project required the temporary closure of nearby DeWitt Road.[45]

In March 2009 the Federal Aviation Administration announced the planned consolidation of radar control for Lansing's airport, as well as that of airports in Grand Rapids and Muskegon, to nearby Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport in 2013. The cost-saving move will occur upon completion of Kalamazoo Airport's new air traffic control tower (TRACON). Despite the consolidation, each airport will still maintain its own air traffic control tower.[46]

In November 2009 Lockheed Martin, operator of the flight service station located at Capital Region International Airport, announced the closing of the service station, effective February 2010. The Lansing station is one of 13 to close nationwide and provides 25 jobs and $120,000 in annual rent to the airport.[47]

[edit] 2010s

[edit] Apple Vacations and Sun Country

In June 2010 Apple Vacations and Sun Country Airlines announced seasonal flights to Cancún, Mexico (CUN); Montego Bay, Jamaica (MBJ/MKJS); Fort Myers (RSW); Orlando (MCO); and Las Vegas (LAS) beginning in December.[48]

In October 2010 the airport was awarded a U.S. Department of Transportation Small Community Air Service Development grant, worth $750,000, to help reestablish nonstop flights from Lansing to Washington, D.C. These grants are designed to promote air service development from smaller markets. Washington, D.C. is the number one end destination from Lansing, according to the Capital Region Airport Authority.[26][49][50] In December Sun Country Airlines announced that it would offer non-stop flights from Lansing to Minneapolis (MSP) and Washington-Reagan National Airport (DCA) beginning in April 2011.[51] The announcement followed the airline being awarded two landing slots at the Washington, D.C. airport by the USDOT. The Minneapolis route is expected to reduce the fares from Lansing-Minneapolis an average of 34 percent, and the Washington, D.C. flights reduced by an average of 21 percent.[52]

In May 2011 Apple Vacations and Sun Country Airlines announced seasonal weekly flights to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (PUJ/MDPC) beginning in December and discontinued flights to Fort Myers and Las Vegas. In June 2012 similar seasonal flights to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (PVR/MMPR) were announced starting in December and Montego Bay flights were discontinued.[53]

[edit] Facility upgrades

A Concierge Travel Center opened at the airport in May 2010, offering the ability to book airline tickets, cruises, tours, car rentals, and hotel rooms.[54]

In July 2011 Eastern Michigan University announced that its flight-training program would begin operating out of the Lansing airport in September, coinciding with the elimination of Lansing Community College's aviation flight program.[55] The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) installed a full-body millimeter wave scanner at the airport in October.[56]

[edit] Current and future development

The Mid-Michigan Business Travel Coalition, Inc., formerly the Lansing Regional Business Travel Trust, was formed by the Airport Authority and the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce in 2004. A coalition of the local business, education, and government community, the Travel Coalition seeks to promote the airport through negotiations with air carriers and area promotions.[49][57][58]

In December 2011 the airport, city of Lansing, and DeWitt Township received Next Michigan Development Corporation — or Aerotropolis — designation, designed to encourage economic development within 1 mile (1.6 km) of the airport. The plan includes a 50-year 425 land, tax, and services agreement between the city and township.[59]

[edit] Master Plan

The airport's most recent Master Plan was released in December 2006. The Plan identifies four major goals for the airport: Retain and expand scheduled passenger flights, increase charter operations, increase corporate and general aviation activities, and increase cargo activities.[60] In order to achieve these goals, the airport over the long term endeavors to, among other things:

  • Construct a new terminal building at the airport
  • Interim terminal improvements including additional passenger loading bridges, rental car, and baggage claim facilities, and passenger security screening improvements
  • Construct a new control tower
  • Construct a new 9,000 feet (2,743 m) runway and connector taxiway to replace the existing 10L/28R runway
  • Extend the existing 6/24 runway to 7,785 feet (2,373 m)
  • Expand vehicle parking lot parking areas
  • Local road improvements for better access to nearby freeway I-69
  • Expand the existing business park at the airport
  • Cargo and sort facility expansions
  • T-hangar and access taxiway expansions for general aviation[60]

[edit] Port Lansing

Main article: Port Lansing

The airport received U.S. Port of Entry status in January 2008. The name "Port Lansing" reflects this designation. Capital City Airport was renamed "Capital Region International Airport" to emphasize the Port of Entry status. By June an interim U.S. Customs Inspection Station was established. To promote increased international commerce in and around the airport, a Foreign Trade Zone was activated, effective August 24, 2009.[61] The Foreign Trade Zone includes 840 acres (3.40 km2; 1.31 sq mi) of property near the terminal and runways. The trade zone allows goods to be delivered there duty free — with reduced, deferred, or eliminated customs fees — providing a competitive advantage to companies doing business within the trade zone.[62] According to the Airport Authority, the airport has over 100 acres (0.40 km2; 0.16 sq mi) of land available for immediate development.

[edit] Facilities and operations

Capital Region International Airport covers 2,160 acres (8.74 km2; 3.37 sq mi). Located at the boundary of three counties, most of the airport lies in DeWitt Township (Clinton County), with small portions in Watertown Township (Clinton County), Delta Township (Eaton County), and the city of Lansing (Ingham County).[note 1]

[edit] Terminal

The current terminal building, constructed in 1959, is 161,500 square feet (15,004 m2) and has four floors. The lower two floors are passenger levels. The third floor houses the airport's administrative offices and the fourth floor contains the control tower. The terminal has nine gates, including six jetways. Located in the terminal is the Capital Market, a gift shop featuring many items unique to mid-Michigan. Café Lan, on the first level of the terminal, is a full service restaurant and grill serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Concierge Travel Center offers the ability to book airline tickets, cruises, hotels, tours, foreign currency exchange, and limousine rentals.[54] The Spartan Pub, on the second level, is a cocktail bar and coffee shop (serving Biggby Coffee brand) with a deli menu. A business center is located near gate 6, and it provides complimentary wireless (SSID "CRAA") Internet access.[64]

[edit] Aeronautics

The Michigan Department of Transportation Office of Aeronautics is located along the airport's southeast ramp.[65] The Michigan State Transportation Commission meets at the airport monthly; the Michigan Aeronautics Commission meets at the airport bimonthly.[66]

[edit] Runways

Capital Region International Airport has three runways:

  • Runway 10R/28L: 8,506 feet (2,593 m) x 150 feet (46 m), Surface: Asphalt, grooved, ILS equipped
  • Runway 6/24: 5,002 feet (1,525 m) x 120 feet (37 m), Surface: Asphalt/Concrete, grooved
  • Runway 10L/28R: 3,601 feet (1,098 m) x 75 feet (23 m), Surface: Asphalt

[edit] Parking

The airport has both short and long term parking lots, with a combined capacity of 1,500 parking spaces. There is a 15 minute grace period in the short term parking lot. The short term lot is closer to the terminal building, though the long term lot generally provides lower rates. Several area hotels participate in the airport's "Park and Fly" program, in that they offer special room rates and free shuttle service for airport patrons.[67]

[edit] Aircraft operations

For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2011, the airport had 42,979 total aircraft operations (a 7 percent decrease from 2008 and a 48 percent decrease from 2007), with an average of 118 per day. 57% of the aircraft operations were general aviation, 36% were air taxi, 5% were scheduled commercial, and 2% were military. Of the 87 aircraft based at the airport, 66% were single-engine, 22% were multi-engine, 7% were jet aircraft, 3% were helicopters, and the remaining were gliders and military aircraft.[68]

Passenger aircraft landings dropped from 12,224 in 2000 to 3,623 in 2009, according to the Capital Region Airport Authority.[49] In March 2012 the average daily seats on domestic departures from the airport was 912, a 24.9 percent increase from March 2011.[69]

[edit] Competition

Capital Region International Airport competes with nearby Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), Grand Rapids Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR), and the recent growth of Flint Bishop International Airport (FNT). In addition, the Michigan Flyer provides motorcoach service roundtrip from nearby East Lansing to Detroit Metro Airport eight times daily. In 2006 the Capital Region Airport Authority estimated that the airport lost approximately 162,000 passengers that year to nearby competing airports. The airport lost about $53 million in annual revenue as a result of the passenger losses.[73] According to the Airport Authority, a January 2010 leakage study found that 550,000 of the 873,000 airline tickets sold from mid-Michigan in 2009 were to travelers using other Michigan airports: 45% of travelers flew (originated) from Detroit Metro Airport, 37% from Lansing, 8% from Grand Rapids, and 7.6% from Flint. This resulted in an economic loss of $108 million to the Mid-Michigan region. The lost revenue to Lansing's airport was approximately $17 million.[26][74]

In March 2009 the Lansing State Journal cited a 2008 Michigan State University study finding that passengers out of Capital Region International Airport feel the airport is convenient to use, but more than two-thirds of those surveyed also flew from other Michigan airports during the previous year. This is despite 84% of passengers being satisfied with the airline service offered at Lansing's airport, a drop from 93% passenger satisfaction in 2002. The 2008 study noted that 49% of travelers thought Lansing's airport was more expensive to fly out of than Detroit Metropolitan Airport; 13% of travelers thought Lansing was less expensive.[75] The same study in 2002 found that 41% of travelers thought that Lansing was more expensive to fly out of than Detroit, and 14% thought Lansing was less expensive.[76]

Forbes Magazine in February 2009 ranked Capital Region International Airport tied for the 18th most expensive airport to fly from in the United States, with an average fare of 35¢ per mile. The magazine ranked two other Michigan airports as more expensive. Cherry Capital Airport (TVC) in Traverse City was ranked second (41¢ per mile), and MBS International Airport (MBS) northwest of Saginaw was tied for the 11th most expensive airport in the country (36¢ per mile).[77]

An April 2011 New York Times study determined that the average fare from Capital Region International Airport was overpriced by $117. The regression analysis, based on third quarter 2010 data from the USDOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics, considered factors such as market size and average distance to destination. Fares at other Michigan airports were overpriced to a lesser extent: MBS airport by $114, Detroit Metro by $25, and Grand Rapids by $9; Flint airport was underpriced by $42. Kalamazoo airport fares were overpriced by $187.[78]
