Coleman A. Young International Airport (IATA: DET, ICAO: KDET), formerly known as Detroit City Airport, is a municipal airport in Detroit, Michigan. The airport was once served by Southwest Airlines (who abandoned the airport for failure to upgrade facilities) and Chautauqua Airlines (who left due to poor load factors and high operating costs). Pro Air, a commercial passenger airline, was based at the airport and grounded by the FAA due to poor maintenance performance. The airport currently has no scheduled passenger airline service.
The airport's passenger terminal is also operated by the US Customs department, which serves private and cargo airplanes.
The 53,000 square-foot passenger terminal includes space for restaurants, retail concessions, car rental facilities, airline offices, baggage pick-up and claim areas, boarding areas and passenger lounges. The airport has three 1,000 space parking lots.
