Despite being located entirely within the boundaries of Pittsfield, the township has no voting representation on any committee, council or board tasked with the management of airport operations.

The airport is a general aviation facility with mostly smaller corporate and private aircraft, with no scheduled passenger or cargo flights.

[4] The Ann Arbor City Council established an Airport Advisory Committee in 1961; the Ann Arbor city council appoints seven people (full voting members) serving three-year terms, and Pittsfield Charter Township and Lodi Township each appoint a non-voting[5] representative to the committee.

The proposal is undergoing environmental impact studies but has experienced delays because of initial inaccuracies supplied in the proposal, prolonged review by the FAA, and opposition from Pittsfield Township and the local citizens' group Committee for Preserving Community Quality, made up of citizens from Pittsfield and Lodi, as well as some Ann Arborites who view the project as too expensive or unlikely to be approved.

[3][4][7] On March 24, 2009, Pittsfield unanimously approved a Resolution Opposing Proposed Expansion of the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport Runway.

The airport has two FBOs that together offer fuel, general maintenance, aircraft parking, courtesy cars, pilot supplies, crew lounges, snooze rooms, showers, and more.

[11][12][13] For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2021, the airport had 75,200 aircraft operations, an average of 206 per day, consisting completely of general aviation.
