## Description

Houghton County Memorial Airport (IATA: CMX, ICAO: KCMX) in Hancock connects Michigan's Copper Country to a United hub at Chicago O'Hare (ORD) with a single scheduled link, and carries no air freight. The Keweenaw Peninsula supplied much of 19th-century America's copper; Michigan Tech in Houghton is the legacy that stayed, alongside winters that dump over five metres of snow a season — among the heaviest east of the Rockies. The cargo apron is a concept, not a place: shipments for the Keweenaw route via Green Bay (GRB) or Detroit (DTW), trucking up US-41 to the end of the road.
