  • MKE Airport Overview
    General Mitchell International Airport MKE is located in the City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the home of Miller beer and Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It is named in honor of General William Mitchell, a Milwaukee native and a vigorous aviation advocate. MKE Airport has experienced a drastic increase in passengers using its airport, due to the fact that its airlines can offer lower fares than at many other airports. In 2008 nearly 8 million passengers used this Airport. A host of airlines, including regional jets, service the airport offering nonstop or direct flights to more than 40 cities. Midwest Airlines uses Milwaukee Airport, the largest in Wisconsin, as a hub. In addition to commercial airlines, several vacation package/charter airlines operate out of the airport offering escapes to sunny destinations during the long Wisconsin winter.
