About
The Wayne County Airport Authority (WCAA), established in 2002, independently operates Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) and Willow Run Airport (YIP), serving as critical components of the Southeast Michigan air transportation network. DTW is Michigan’s busiest airport, a major international hub offering over 1,000 daily flights to more than 120 destinations, and consistently recognized for exceptional customer service and operational efficiency – including earning the Airports Council International ASQ Award. Beyond passenger travel, WCAA facilitates significant air cargo and supports general and corporate aviation through both airports. Notably, the Authority operates entirely on self-generated revenue, without reliance on tax dollars, offering a stable and financially sound environment for professionals seeking opportunities in airport management, aviation logistics, and related fields.
