Facilities
Gerald R. Ford International Airport has two parallel east-west runways and one north-south runway. Along with cargo and general aviation facilities, the airport also has one passenger terminal, consisting of a two-level main terminal and two concourses, labeled A, with seven gates, and B, with six gates.
Concourse A's tenants are Delta and Frontier. In concourse B are United, American Eagle, Allegiant Air, AirTran Airways and Air Canada Express. All of the gates have climate-controlled jetways.
When new baggage screening regulations were introduced by the Transportation Security Administration in 2002, the airport was one of the first in the nation to conduct trials on the new screening machines. Due to their size, the baggage processing areas were unable to accommodate the machines and instead, they were placed in the passenger lobby.

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
