Grand Rapids Description |
|
In December of 1999, Kent County International Airport became Gerald R. Ford International Airport in honor of Gerald R. Ford, the 38th President of the United States. President Ford served West Michigan as a U.S. Congressman from 1949-1973 and was a long-time supporter of the airport. In the year 2000, the airport completed a $50 million major renovation of the passenger terminal building.
In 2001, the airport’s primary East-West runway underwent a nine-month, $32 million complete reconstruction.
In 2002, the airport opened a 1,000-space express shuttle parking lot, and became the first airport in the nation to screen 100% of checked baggage for explosives using new explosive detection machines.
2003 marked the 40th anniversary of the airport at its current location. The celebration began with Passenger Appreciation Days during the busy spring break season, continued with the Flyby 5K Run, Walk & Airport Expo in June, then a bronze bust of President Gerald R. Ford's likeness was unveiled in July, followed by the Plane Pull Challenge of Michigan in August, and wrapped up with an airport-wide employee appreciation luncheon in October.
In 2004, the airport served 2,150,125 passengers—a new record high. This marked the first time in the airport's history that more than two million passengers were served in a single calendar year. The airport added 750 additional spaces to its express shuttle parking lot, and the property underwent a "facelift" as the new landscape project was completed.
The airport continues to set new air cargo records, with 87,281,497 pounds of cargo passing through in 2006. Thats more than 119,000 tons per day!
