## Description

Cirrus Aircraft is headquartered on the field and builds its SR series and the Vision Jet there; AAR runs an MRO hangar able to hold up to seven wide-body or ten narrow-body aircraft; and the 148th Fighter Wing's F-16s share the runways — Duluth International Airport (IATA: DLH, ICAO: KDLH) is an aviation industry site first. On the traffic side it handled 278,400 passengers in 2024 and about 1,230 short tons of air cargo in 2023, small but valuable volumes. Freight works on the feeder model: FedEx connects Duluth to its network via Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP), while Bemidji Airlines flies daily cargo runs into the Twin Cities under contract to UPS. The region's heavy commodities — taconite pellets, grain and coal — leave through the world's largest freshwater port rather than by air. The 10,162 ft main runway takes freighter charters when mining or wind-energy project cargo requires it, but for routine volumes and customs clearance MSP, about 250 km south, remains the gateway. Minnesota approved ten million dollars in 2025 towards replacing the Duluth control tower.
