Ann Arbor Municipal Airport (ARB)

Ann Arbor Municipal Airport is a public-use general aviation airport serving Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County in southeastern Michigan. Owned by the City of Ann Arbor and located about three miles south of downtown, it supports private, business, charter, flight training, and general aviation activity rather than scheduled airline service.

The airport's aviation history reaches back to the late 1920s, when Ann Arbor developed a municipal airfield during the early growth of aviation. Today it operates a paved runway, a turf runway, and a control tower that is staffed during daytime hours, along with fixed-base operators providing fuel, maintenance, and pilot services.

Ann Arbor Municipal Airport is especially convenient for visitors to the University of Michigan, local businesses, and nearby communities such as Ypsilanti and Saline, with the broader Detroit metropolitan area to the east. Ground access relies primarily on private vehicles, rental cars, taxis, rideshares, and prearranged private transfers.

The main terminal building houses pilot and passenger amenities, and the airport's general aviation focus makes it a practical gateway for private travel, charter flights, and aviation-related business across the region.
