Description
On this episode, host Phil Tower welcomes Kevin Klein: CEO of Cherry Capital Airport. Kevin Klein is in his 22nd year with Cherry Capital Airport. He started in 2002 as operations manager and today oversees every aspect of the airport as CEO. Klein was named Airport Manager of the Year by the Michigan Association of Airport Executives in 2017.
Kevin told us about exciting plans for the airport. They will soon begin the construction of a terminal expansion at Cherry Capital Airport.
Klein said the expansion will add additional space and numerous other enhancements, including a new concourse with four more gates and a potential fifth gate. Kevin said the improvements are primarily needed because of the massive increase in the number of travelers each year. That number exceeded 700,000 passengers in 2023. Cherry Capital Airport serves about twice as many passengers as it did a decade ago. The population of Grand Traverse County has grown by nearly 11% since 2010 and stands at 96,421 as of 2023.
