The Abandoned Grand Rapids Airport... Parking Lot!

If this was the only view of the airport, I do believe I'd think they were closed.

Pictures of an abandoned parking lot next to the Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Looks like no one has parked on it for some time.

    Please don't feel sorry for us!

    That small parking lot was used for construction equipment staging and rental car staging during the construction of our wonderful new parking garage! We continue to have two other surface lots open. This one has been left as is because the aircraft ramp is going to be expanded soon which will require us to move the roadway - including tearing up a large portion of this lot to accommodate.

    Growth is good! We are now serving more than 2 million passengers each year on 8 airlines to 25 nonstop destinations. Come back and see us soon!

    I can't believe how they let it go. They built on the airport and the parking lot does look like it is never used.
