Ford Airport in Kingsford is serviced by Delta Air Lines and has flights daily to Detroit, Michigan and Minneapolis, Minnesota, for easy access the rest of the world! If you prefer to drive, a 90-minute drive puts you in Green Bay, Wisconsin and a five-hour drive gets you to Chicago’s more urban lifestyle or the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area.
