MBS International Airport (IATA: MBSICAO: KMBSFAA LID: MBS), located in Freeland, Michigan, is a commercial and general aviation airport serving the nearby cities of Midland, Bay City, and Saginaw. It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a non-hub primary commercial service facility. It offers passenger service from affiliates of Delta Air Lines and United Airlines.

It was formerly named Tri City Airport or Freeland Tri-City Airport. The airport was renamed MBS International Airport in 1994 (representative of its IATA airport code) to prevent confusion with other airports named "Tri City Airport" across the United States.

The commercial airport is a special municipal body owned by Bay County and the cities of Midland and Saginaw. The airport's name is an initialism formed from the names of these three communities and it is governed by a nine-member commission made up of three members from each of them.

MBS International Airport covers 3,200 acres (13 km2) and has two runways:

For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2012, the airport had 25,810 aircraft operations (down from 28,162 in 2010 and 50,254 in 2006), an average of 26 per day: 45% general aviation, 10% air taxi, 40% scheduled commercial, and 5% police. In November 2016, there were 27 aircraft based at this airport: 8 single-engine, 5 multi-engine, 13 jet and 1 helicopter.
