Sawyer International Airport (IATA: MQT, ICAO: KSAW, FAA LID: SAW) is a commercial and general aviation airport near Gwinn, Michigan at the site of the former K.I. Sawyer AFB, which closed in September 1995. The airport opened for passenger service in September 1999, serving Marquette, Michigan and the surrounding area. It has a single massive concrete runway, 12,370 x 150 ft., originally designed for B-52 bombers. It is one of the few airports in the United States whose ICAO code is not its IATA code preceded by a K. This is because Marquette was previously served by Marquette County Airport (IATA: MQT, ICAO: KMQT, FAA LID: MQT) which closed in 1999.
