Young Municipal Airport〔 and formerly known as Detroit City Airport, is a public use airport located five nautical miles (9 km) northeast of the central business district of Detroit, in Wayne County, Michigan, United States.

(Mayor: Fix or shut Detroit City Airport ), ''Detroit News'', March 20, 2002, Retrieved 2010-01-27〕 Spirit Airlines planned service to the airport using McDonnell-Douglas DC-9 aircraft in 1995, but the service never began.〔(Spirit Airlines to use jets at Detroit City Airport ), Associated Press via ''Ludington Daily News'', March 25, 1995〕 Pro Air, a commercial passenger airline, was based at the airport and grounded by the FAA due to poor maintenance performance.
