Ann Arbor Municipal Airport (ARB)

Ann Arbor Municipal Airport (ARB) serves as a premier general aviation reliever hub for the Detroit metropolitan area, offering a highly efficient alternative for private, corporate, and medical flights. Since the airport does not host regularly scheduled commercial airline services, 'connections' at this facility typically involve transitioning from a private jet or chartered flight to local ground transportation for the short 4.3-mile journey to downtown Ann Arbor. All passenger and pilot operations are centralized through two full-service Fixed-Base Operators (FBOs): Solo Aviation and ACE Aviation Center. For a seamless transfer, it is highly recommended to coordinate your arrival with the FBO staff at least 24 hours in advance, especially if you require specialized ground handling, hangar parking, or on-site car rental pickups. Ground transportation is well-integrated with the city's academic and commercial centers. Taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft are readily available; for the smoothest experience, set your pickup point directly at the terminal office or your specific FBO lounge to avoid driver confusion. The airport’s strategic location near the State Street and I-94 corridors makes it an exceptionally fast connection point for those visiting the University of Michigan campus or the various industrial parks in the region. For travelers needing to connect to the global commercial air network, Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) is the nearest major hub, located approximately 25 miles to the east and reachable in about 30 minutes by road. As a non-TSA facility with an FAA air traffic control tower (operating daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM), security at ARB is focused on airfield safety and controlled ramp access, allowing for exceptionally fast transitions between your aircraft and vehicle.
