Can I make a 35 minutes connection at YIP on an international flight?
35 minutes is below the 45-minute international MCT at Willow Run. You may need to rush and could miss your connection. There is a single small terminal building used for charter and general aviation traffic, with cargo operations (notably Kalitta Air) handled on a separate ramp area. Any movement between these areas is a short walk or a quick vehicle ride on the apron, and there is no passenger security re-screening infrastructure in the way major hubs have it.

We recommend at least 40 minutes for a comfortable connection at Willow Run. This gives you enough buffer for security (typically 5 minutes) and transit between terminals (up to 5 minutes).
What happens if I miss my connection at YIP?
