Sky Harbor Airport Soars to New Heights Opening New Terminal

DULUTH, Minn. — Aviators are celebrating the opening of a small aircraft terminal at Park Point’s Sky Harbor Airport.

The Duluth Airport Authority held a ribbon cutting Wednesday for the roughly $2.7 million investment in northeastern Minnesota aviation.

The new terminal is meant for small planes and seaplanes flown by public and professional aviators.

“Through this new terminal, we hope to invite the public to learn more about aviation. Whether it be though a scenic air tour, a program with the Duluth Aviation Institute or one of the many public events we hope to host in this new building like the recent art exhibit,” said Tom Werner, the executive director of Duluth Airport Authority. “The new terminal provides modern clean amenities to pilots. It’s an inviting space to greet visitors. We hope it’ll be a gateway that sparks interest in aviation through connection with our very vibrant aviation community.”

Sky Harbor’s new terminal was funded in part by federal grants from the FAA and state grants from the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

The event also showcased an equipment facility that will house snow removal equipment.
