## Description

Paper and iron ore, not air freight, drive Escanaba's economy — a major paper mill and an ore dock define the town, and neither ships a kilo by air. Delta County Airport (IATA: ESC, ICAO: KESC) is the quiet gateway to the southern Upper Peninsula on the Little Bay de Noc, served by SkyWest as Delta Connection. In early 2026 the US DOT renewed SkyWest's Essential Air Service contract for two more years, keeping twelve weekly round trips to Detroit (DTW) and Minneapolis–St. Paul (MSP). There is no commercial cargo handling here, only limited belly space on the regional jets. Forwarders route UP-bound shipments via Green Bay to the south or Detroit, with US-41 putting Wisconsin within easy trucking reach.
