Upper Peninsula county is betting it can run a high-stakes airport ‘truck stop’

There is a better way to read this story. Download the My UP Now app for your apple or android device. MARQUETTE, Mich. (WJMN/WBUP) — Amid lawsuits and pleas from pilots, leaders in Marquette County made their most affirmative move yet to run a multi-million-dollar support service at Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport. On Tuesday, Commissioner Karen Alholm made the motion: “I move to terminate the fixed base operator limited services agreement between Kubick Aviation Services Inc. and Marquette County, without cause, pursuant to section 1.3.5 of the agreement, which would automatically terminate the lease agreement and any related agreements.” The specific wording, undoubtedly due to a ruling by Judge John Economopoulos that a previous vote to terminate the contract was not clear enough. Judge: Despite intent, UP county never fired multi-million-dollar airport ‘truck stop’ “I don't care if it's tedious. It needs to be done. It's as simple as that,” said Judge Economopoulos. “The public should not be expected to bear the burden of trying to define what [the motion] meant. The words need to be spoken.” Fixed Base Operators offer refueling and repair services, as well as hangar rentals and other support services for private, commercial and governmental aircraft.

Judge: Despite intent, UP county never fired multi-million-dollar airport ‘truck stop’

There is a better way to read this story. Download the My UP Now app for your apple or android device. MARQUETTE, Mich. (WJMN/WBUP) — A judge has ruled that Marquette County never actually cut ties with its service contractor at Marquette Sawyer Regional Airport, despite the county commission’s intent to do so. The dispute follows an Oct. 2025 letter from the county to Kubick Aviation Services (KAS), alerting the company that the county has decided to exercise a six-month “out” clause in their contract for Fixed Base Operator services at the local airport, and shift those responsibilities to the county. KAS has sued to keep the contract. A Fixed Base Operator offers fuel, repair services and hangar rentals to private and commercial pilots, and are both privately and publicly run throughout the country. In court hearings and county commission meetings, an FBO has been described both as a “truck stop” and a “multi-million dollar operation.” As the lawsuit has continued, Judge John Economopoulos said he suspects several questions raised venture into novel legal territory — potentially never before decided by a court or outlined by law. The contract with KAS began in 2023 Marquette County has historically contracted out
