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. 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.^[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.

The city of Detroit says that the facility has staff and is operational. It is listed as an asset of the city, but its future plans are in doubt.^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14]
