Coleman A. Young International Airport[1] (IATA: DET, ICAO: KDET, FAA LID: DET) (Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport,[2] formerly Detroit City Airport until 2003) is six miles northeast of downtown Detroit, in Wayne County, Michigan, United States. It is owned by the City of Detroit.[2] The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorized it as a regional general aviation facility.[3] In 2003, it was given its current name in honor of the late former mayor of Detroit Coleman A. Young.[4]
From July 1988 through September 1993, Southwest Airlines served the airport with 10 to 13 daily flights.[5][6] Chautauqua Airlines served the airport but ceased service less than a year later.[7] Spirit Airlines planned to fly McDonnell-Douglas DC-9s to DET in 1995, but never began service.[8] Pro Air, a scheduled passenger airline, was based at the airport and grounded by the FAA due to poor maintenance performance after less than a year.[9] The airport now has no scheduled passenger airline service.
The airport's passenger terminal also houses facilities for Customs and Border Protection, which serves private and cargo airplanes.
The 53,000-square-foot (4,900 m2) passenger terminal includes space for restaurants, retail concessions, car rental facilities, airline offices, baggage pick-up and claim areas, boarding areas and passenger lounges. The airport has three 1,000 space parking lots.
In April 2025, it was announced that MyFlight, a company offering helicopter tours, would construct a 12,000 square foot building on the grounds of the airport. The building is intended to serve as the company's headquarters and is projected to open in late 2025.[10]
