A weekly news roundup podcast featuring local Northern Michigan journalists explaining the top local stories of the week.
Christal sits down with Kevin Klein, Executive Director of Cherry Capital Airport (TVC), to unpack the rapid growth transforming northern Michigan’s hometown airport. Kevin explains what’s driving record-breaking passenger numbers, how TVC is adapting to a surge in local and visitor travel, and why this moment reflects Traverse City’s evolution as a regional hub.
They discuss the airport’s upcoming major terminal expansion, new parking additions, and the challenges of operating a facility built for far fewer passengers than it now serves. Kevin also breaks down funding details, community feedback, and how TVC plans to maintain Traverse City’s small-town feel while preparing for the future.
It’s a concise, forward-looking discussion with the leader guiding one of the region’s most important assets.
