Grand Rapids Gerald R. Ford International Airport (IATA: GRR, ICAO: KGRR, FAA LID: GRR) is a commercial airport in Cascade Township, approximately 13 miles (21 km) southeast of Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States.

[3] The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorized it as a small hub primary commercial service facility.

[2][6] Grand Rapids' first airport broke ground in November 1919, four miles (6.4 km) south of downtown.

This was eight years after the area witnessed its first landing, a Wright biplane at Comstock Park State Fairgrounds on September 10, 1911.

On January 2, 2007, a U.S. Air Force Boeing VC-25 jet carried the remains of former president Gerald Ford to his namesake airport as part of funeral services culminating in burial at his presidential museum in Grand Rapids the next day.

[15] Delta Air Lines operates Boeing 757-200s seasonally between Grand Rapids and Atlanta during the winter, making it the largest aircraft to serve GRR.

[17] In 2013 the airport began building a natural treatment system to improve stormwater management practices and safeguard the waters of the Thornapple River.

The garage roof was completed in November 2015 and will allow use of the fourth floor spaces during heavy snow.

[20] In 2016, the airport partnered with the Cascade Community Foundation on plans to renovate the current outdoor viewing area to make it a larger, more inviting place for people to relax.

[22] In November 2018 the airport began the phase II of the Gateway Transformation Project, reconstructing the baggage claim, check-in, and front of house areas.

Along with cargo and general aviation facilities, the airport has a passenger terminal with two concourses: A has 15 gates and B has eight.

In September 2017, the airport celebrated the opening of phase one of their Gateway Transformation, a 59,000 square foot addition onto the passenger terminal facility that included a consolidated passenger security screening checkpoint, a new Marketplace with expanded retail and food & beverage offerings, new business centers and lounges, and much more.

[47] And in April 2024, it was announced there would also be an $135 million Terminal Enhancement Project included as well expected to be completed by 2027 [48]
