St Clair County International Airport

it’s all of us,” Fiore explains, referring to how the St. Clair’s collaborative dynamic with other traffic sources affects the type of flights that flow in and out–whether that be business, military, or private aircraft. Regarding military and federal traffic, St. Clair often receives both airplanes and helicopters from several notable organizations like the Coast Guard, Air National Guard, Customs, and the Marines. Private and business aircraft tend to traffic both inbound and outbound, and due to its convenient location, several prominent businesses and names utilize St. Clair’s services. Industrial giant Magna International has a facility located in Port Huron, so it often frequents the airport as a part of their operations. Additionally, Diamond Aircraft Industries routinely sends its trade aircraft through St. Clair to clear customs and continue to their respective destinations. Although the remainder of the airport’s flights fall into the private or charter category, the most notable name among the traffic that has flown through is by far former President Donald Trump’s, who flew in on one of his smaller private jets. So,that should serve to showcase just howoptimally located St. Clair Airport is relative to other even larger airports within the area. It’s a clear indicator that if an institution offers superior quality and convenience, it will always be selected as the best choice to work with. A CULTURE OF SERVICE AND SUSTAINABILITY While St. Clair’s locational convenience plays a big role in its success, the real driver behind its impact is the quality care it provides to the aircraft that fly in, the airport grounds, and even the natural environment around it. As of August 1, 2023, the airport officially transitioned its Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) services over to St. Clair County, vastly improving its already incredible aircraft ground support. 4 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 10, ISSUE 12
