All flights depart and return to The Mackinac County Airport located in St. Ignace Michigan. The Mackinac County Airport is at 1220 N. State Street. We recommend entering “Mackinac County Airport” into your GPS. The addresses in The Mackinac Area are confusing and there are two 1220 N. State Streets in St. Ignace. By entering the airport name, it is guaranteed to bring you to the correct spot.
There is free parking directly on site. When you enter the parking lot, you will see a MyFlight Torus Mobile Trailer on your left. Our staff will greet you upon arrival and check you in.
For safety reasons, we strictly enforce a weight limit of 300 lbs per passenger as specified by the aircraft manufacturer. Please note that passengers exceeding this weight limit will not be able to fly. To ensure compliance, we will conduct a brief weighing process before the flight.
All passengers (excluding the pilot) must not exceed 600 lbs and no individual passenger can exceed 300lbs.
