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.

The airport is owned and operated by the Capital Region Airport Authority, a six member governing board. Three members represent Ingham County and three members represent the City of Lansing. The Airport Authority also oversees nearby Jewett Field (TEW) in Mason, Michigan.[4]

According to the Airport Authority, 429,639 people flew in or out of the airport in 2008, a 14 percent drop from 2007, and a 35% drop since 2000.[5]

History

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.[6]

The dedication of Capital City Airport was held on the weekend of July 14 – 15, 1928, and attended by 70,000 people.[7] 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.[8] 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.[9] Passenger service commenced on September 1, 1929 by Kohler Airlines. By 1934, Pennsylvania Airlines and Transport was providing airmail and passenger service to Detroit, Muskegon, Grand Rapids, and across Lake Michigan.[10]

1950s-1970s

The airport's original terminal building was built in 1940. 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.[10]

In 1970, PA 1973 allowed the creation of the Capital Region Airport Authority, transferring jurisdiction of the airport from the State of Michigan to the Airport Authority. 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.[10]

1980s-1990s

In 1980 a 5,300 ft2 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.[10]

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.[11]

In 1992 a major renovation of the terminal building included the addition of 50,000 ft2 to the facility. The following year, the public parking lot was reconstructed and a new airport surveillance radar (ASR-9) was activated.[10]

2000s

Flight Reductions

During the 2000s, Capital Region International Airport has seen the number of daily flights reduced from 35 to 12.[12] In May 2000 American Eagle Airlines discontinued its flights to Chicago-O'Hare, eliminating five daily flights and 23 positions at the Lansing airport.[13] In October 2003 US Airways ended daily flights to its Pittsburgh hub. Continental Airlines suspended their daily flights to Cleveland effective January 2004.[14] Chicago Express/ATA Connection Airlines ended service from Lansing to Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) due to the airline's bankruptcy in March 2005.[15] That same year Midwest Connect ended service to Milwaukee General Mitchell International Airport (MKE).[16] In September 2007, Continental Airlines announced three daily flights from Lansing to the airline's hub in Cleveland to begin in May 2008;[17] 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.[18] Delta Airlines 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 had offered non-stop flight from Lansing to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) from 2005-2007.[19] In August 2009, the airport applied for a U.S. Department of Transportation grant, worth $750,000, to help reestablish nonstop flights from Lansing to Washington D.C. These grants are designed to help develop air service from smaller markets. Washington D.C. is the number one end destination from Lansing, according to the Capital Region Airport Authority.[20]

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.[21] 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 effective January 2009, citing reduced competition from Detroit Metro Airport and financial incentives as the reasons for the move.[22] In July 2004 Independence Air began nonstop flights from Lansing to Washington DC's Dulles Airport (IAD).[23] Northwest Airlines soon followed with similar flights to Dulles. Up to 11 direct flights a day were offered from Lansing to Washington DC between the two airlines, some flights as low as $29. Independence Air left the Lansing market in January 2005, citing high fuel prices and heavy competition from Northwest.[24] In June 2005, Northwest moved their Lansing flights from Dulles Reagan International Airport (DCA). By January 2006, Northwest canceled this route, leaving Lansing with no direct flights to Washington, DC.[25] In March 2009, startup carrier JetAmerica (previously known as Air Azul) announced direct flights starting in July 2009 between Lansing and Newark and Melbourne, Florida.[5] However, after delaying the start of flights, the company folded on July 17 without operating a single flight.[26]

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 in Columbus, Ohio to begin that fall.[28] In January 2008, Shamrock Express by Kenny Tours, announced non-stop flights from Lansing to Shannon, Ireland beginning in June 2008.[29] In both cases, the service was canceled before flights began.[30] Apple Vacations announced in July 2009 that starting in December they will offer weekly seasonal flights to Cancún, Mexico on USA 3000 Airlines. These are the first non-stop international flights from Lansing.[31]

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 ft2 federal inspection station opened in the terminal, capable of processing 200 passengers per hour.[32]

In November 2008, a 500-foot extension to the largest of the three runways (now 8,500 feet) was completed to allow for larger aircraft to use the airport. The $9.9 million project required the temporary closure of nearby Dewitt Road.[33]

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. Despite the consolidation, each airport will still maintain its own air traffic control tower.[34]

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.[35]

Current and Future Development

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.[36] 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 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[36]

The planned expansion at Capital Region International Airport calls for the replacement of a building occupied by Lansing Community College's aviation mechanics program. In June 2009 the College announced that it was relocating the program to nearby Mason Jewett Field (TEW).[37]

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 this new status. By June, a 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.[38] The Foreign Trade Zone includes 840 acres (3.40 km2; 1.31 sq mi) of property near the terminal and runways. It allows goods to be delivered there duty free, providing a competitive advantage (through reduced customs fees) to companies doing business within the trade zone.[39] According to the Airport Authority, the airport has over 200 acres (0.81 km2; 0.31 sq mi) of land available for development.

Facilities and Operations

Capital Region International Airport covers 2,160 acres (8.74 km2; 3.37 sq mi).

Terminal

The current terminal building, constructed in 1959, is 161,000 square feet (14,957 m2) 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 9 gates, including 5 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 Spartan Pub, on the second level, is a cocktail bar and coffee shop (serving Coffee Beanery brand) with a deli menu. A business center is located near gate 6, and it provides complimentary wireless (SSID "CRAA") Internet access.[40]

Runways

Capital Region International Airport [41]

Capital Region International Airport has three runways:

  • Runway 10R/28L: 8,500 feet (2,591 m) x 150 feet (46 m), Surface: Asphalt, grooved
  • 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

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.[42]

Aircraft Operations

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2007, the airport had 82,602 aircraft operations, with an average of 226 per day. 68% of the aircraft operations were general aviation, 29% were scheduled commercial, and 3% were military. Of the 80 aircraft based at the airport, 63% were single engine, 26% were multi-engine, 8% were jet aircraft, and the remaining were helicopters and military aircraft.[2]

In February 2009, Forbes Magazine 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 in Traverse City was ranked second (41¢ per mile), and MBS International Airport northwest of Saginaw was tied for the 11th most expensive airport in the country (36¢ per mile).[43]

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 8 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.[44]

In March 2009 the Lansing State Journal cited a 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. The 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.[45]

In addition to nearby Mason Jewett Field located 15 miles (24.1 km) southeast, other local general aviation airports include University Airpark (41G) 6 miles (9.7 km) northeast in Bath Township and Abrams Municipal Airport (4D0) 6 miles (9.7 km) west in Watertown Township, Michigan.
