Private jets consistently took off and landed as about 30 people rendezvoused Feb. 5 at a Marathon International Airport hanger. Monroe County and Marathon leaders discussed how general aviation stakeholders facilitate the success of the community and how rural airports serve as a runway for economic development, job recovery and emergency response.
Marathon International Airportâs new Jet Center opened in July 20, and owner Marty Hiller was widely praised by those in attendance for his vision and success with Marathon airport operations. âWe look at our responsibility as the gateway to your community,â Hiller said, noting its primary job is safety. âWe are the first and the last ones people see when [pilots and passengers] arrive and depart Marathon.â He said while 2020 numbers were flat, this yearâs business is at 95% of previous years.

(Cleveland) - A man s flight from Cleveland was delayed after a loaded gun was found by TSA agents inside his carry-on bag.
About 10:30 a.m. Monday, a routine check found the gun, a handgun, loaded with 15 rounds of ammunition. Cleveland Police were called. The man told police that he forgot the gun was in his bag. However, the man was still arrested.
This was the second time this year someone was arrested at Cleveland Hopkins for having a firearm in a carry-on. The TSA says it is legal to transport a gun on a plane, but only if the firearm is unloaded, put in a hard-sided locked case, and put in with checked baggage. You also must declare to the airline that you have a firearm.
