About Gaylord Regional Airport

Gaylord Regional Airport is a county-owned, public-use general aviation airport serving Gaylord and Otsego County in northern Michigan. Activated in 1945, the airport supports private, business, medical and charter flights rather than scheduled commercial airline service.

The airport is located about one nautical mile, or roughly 1.9 kilometres, southwest of downtown Gaylord. It has two asphalt runways and no control tower, and the current general aviation terminal, opened in 2006, provides a compact and practical base for pilots and passengers.

As a general utility airport licensed by the Michigan Aeronautics Commission, GLR plays a practical role in regional travel, supporting local businesses, tourism and general aviation activity across Otsego County and the surrounding area.

Because the airport sits so close to the city centre, continuing into Gaylord by car is quick and straightforward. Rental cars and pre-arranged ground transportation provide onward connections to downtown, nearby resorts and other northern Michigan destinations.
