Cherry Capital Airport (IATA: TVC, ICAO: KTVC) is an airport in Traverse City, Michigan, USA. In the fall of 2004 Cherry Capital opened a new terminal (with the inaugural flight, American Eagle flight 3886, on Thursday, June 9, 2005). Soon, the airport will implement the first biometric access systems in the country. The airport is the ninth to implement the advanced security measures suggested after the September 11, 2001 attacks. This terminal is able to comply better with security regulations and supports a greater number of flights and passengers. In 2006 Grand Traverse County announced that it will be building 2 more terminals, including one to be built upon the demolished footprint of the pre-2005 terminal. In addition, Cherry Capital hopes to be granted permission from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to build a longer runway with the goal of meeting mandated runway distance for the Boeing 767 and comparable jet aircraft.
