Appleton International Airport


Appleton International Airport
Appleton International Airport (IATA: ATW, ICAO: KATW, FAA LID: ATW), formerly Outagamie County Regional Airport,  is an airport located in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, United States, just west of Appleton in the town of Greenville.

It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2019–2023, in which it is categorized as a non-hub primary commercial service facility.  It is the third busiest of eight commercial airports in Wisconsin in terms of passengers served.  In 2016 the airport contributed $676 million to the Northeastern Wisconsin economy.   In May 2018, Appleton International Airport was the fourth fastest growing airport in the US.

It is the main base of privately owned regional airline Air Wisconsin and was the original home of Midwest Airlines. Midwest Airlines grew out of Kimberly-Clark subsidiary K-C Aviation, which was sold in 1998 to Gulfstream Aerospace,   which retains a major facility at the airport, focusing on maintenance and interior completions.

The airport attracts people heading back and forth between the EAA's AirVenture, Air Academy and other programs in nearby Oshkosh. Starting in 2017, the airport began to offer camping for AirVenture.  Appleton International is also used for people heading to events at Lambeau Field in nearby Green Bay, most popularly Green Bay Packers games.

History
The airport opened with the 5,200-foot (1,580 m) runway 12/30 around 1965.

In the 1920's, Appleton's airport was George A. Whiting Field,  three miles (5 km) south of town. When Northwest was awarded Contract Airmail Route No. 9 in 1926, Whiting Field became one of the original six airports in the airline's route network. Passenger service on Northwest began in 1927 but was short lived. By 1936 the municipal airport had opened northeast of town on the south side of US 41, southeast of the intersection (44.2874°N 88.3749°W). At its closing, it had a 3,750-foot (1,140 m) paved runway; North Central DC-3s landed there after 1958–59.[citation needed]

Construction of the current facility began in 1963; the field was dedicated on August 22, 1965 along with Air Wisconsin who started operations out of the airport the day after.

CONTAINERS, DRUGS, GUNS & MONEY

              With Cargo Crime on the Rise, CakeBoxx is an Effective Security Solution In the last week there have been over $1B in container-related drug seizures in major US east coast ports, involving world class, C-TPAT Tier 3 companies. Astounding – yes! But what about all those container security programs? The exploitation of intermodal shipping containers as a conveyance for illegal drugs, weapons and other illicit materials has never been greater. More containers, bigger ships, increasing market driven need for speed – even the most diligent shippers are susceptible to the sophistication of modern-day supply chain crime. Everything scales. No doubt that advanced data, process management and container tracking systems are invaluable tools for today’s fast-paced supply chains. But, there is nothing like real ‘physical’ security to deter crime, protect your customers, your cargo and your reputation. CakeBoxx two...
