Muskegon County Airport (IATA: MKG, ICAO: KMKG) is a public airport located four miles (6 km) south of the city of Muskegon in Muskegon County, Michigan, USA. The airport has three runways. It is mostly used for general aviation but is also served by two commercial airlines flying regional jets and turboprop planes to Milwaukee and Detroit hubs respectively. The airport and the county of Muskegon are currently working with a consultant to restore and add jet service to Chicago O'Hare International Airport through government funds. Runway 14/32 is currently undergoing construction for expansion to 6,100 ft expected to be completed by the end of year for winter 2009 operations. Runway 18/36 has been closed permanently and has been converted into Taxiway C.

The airport hosted an airshow called the Muskegon Air Fair until 2006. Due to declining attendance and budget deficits, the air fair was placed on hiatus for the summer of 2007. A motorcycle rally known as Muskegon Bike Time was created to take its place. Following the success of the bike rally the airshow was permanently cancelled by its organizing board in September 2007.
