The Drummond Township Golf Course crosses runway 8/26.[5]

Facilities

Drummond Island Airport covers an area of 60 acres (24 ha) and contains two runways: 8/26 with a 4,000 x 75 ft (1,219 x 23 m) asphalt pavement and 1/19 with a 2,500 x 150 ft (762 x 46 m) turf surface.

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2015, the airport had 5,000 general aviation aircraft operations. In March 2017, there were 9 aircraft based at this airport: 8 single-engine and 1 multi-engine. [1]

International flights

US Customs & Border Protection previously processed private aircraft flying internationally to Drummond Island. As of September 30, 2018, CBP planned to withdraw landing rights for international flights due to cost and impacting their operations in the area.

CBP planned to continue to service Chippewa County International Airport in Kinross Twp as well as Sanderson Field in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan.
