Southwest Michigan Regional Airport (IATA: BEH, ICAO: KBEH) is a public airport located in Benton Harbor in Berrien County, Michigan, USA. It was previously served from 1995-2000 by Mesaba Airlines, offering five daily flights to the Northwest Airlines hub at Detroit. But despite an intense local marketing campaign (utilizing the slogan You Can Get There From Here), the proximity of airports in Chicago, Kalamazoo and South Bend, Indiana siphoned business from BEH and service was discontinued. The airport has spent most of the current decade without commercial air service. It is used primarily by general aviation and corporate clients.
Facilities
The airport is staffed as follows:
Control Tower
Opened in 1973, the air traffic control tower sits abandoned to the present day after its closure during a 1981 controller strike. It ceased operation and never re-opened.
