They're handling multiple airports remotely. In 2016, this was planned to be Grand Rapids, Lansing, Muskegon, Flint, and Saginaw, though I'm not sure all of them were consolidated.

I believe just Flint, Saginaw, Lansing and Kalamazoo were consolidated when I last looked in 2022. For people who are unaware, Kalamazoo has one of the most substantial aviation programs in the country in town at WMU so centralizing there with a large staff is a great opportunity to cross train.
