Flights to Minneapolis from Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport to be suspended

SAWYER, MI— Officials with Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport say air service between Marquette and Minneapolis–Saint Paul will be suspended after Labor Day.

Airline representatives have expressed intent to reimplement the route in spring of 2027.

The temporary adjustment comes amid ongoing industry-wide efforts by airlines to optimize schedules and allocate aircraft resources in response to elevated operating expenses, including increased jet fuel costs. Across the aviation sector, carriers have adjusted service frequencies and temporarily suspended select routes as part of broader network planning initiatives.

Passengers affected by the temporary suspension are encouraged to contact their airline directly regarding rebooking options, schedule changes, and alternative travel arrangements.

Existing service to other destinations from Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport will continue to operate as scheduled.
