Central Wisconsin Airport (IATA: CWA, ICAO: KCWA, FAA LID: CWA), referred to as "C-Way", is a public airport located 3 miles (5 km) southeast of the central business district of Mosinee, in Marathon County, Wisconsin, United States. It is owned by Marathon County and Portage County.[1] It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2019–2023, in which it is categorized as a non-hub primary commercial service facility.[2] It is the fifth busiest of eight commercial airports in Wisconsin in terms of passengers served.

The airport serves the cities of Marshfield, Stevens Point, Wausau and Wisconsin Rapids, tourism communities in northern Wisconsin, and the smaller exurbs of Bevent, Five Corners, Hatley and Rosholt. It is 10 miles (16 km) south-southeast of Granite Peak Ski Area, located in Rib Mountain State Park.

It contains two concrete paved runways: 8/26 measuring 7,648 x 150 ft (2,331 x 46 m) and 17/35 measuring 6,501 x 150 ft (1,982 x 46 m).[1] For the 12-month period ending July 31, 2016, the airport had 12,687 operations, an average of 35 aircraft operations per day: 64% scheduled commercial, 35% general aviation and 1% military. In October 2018, there were 20 aircraft based at this airport: 16 single-engine, 3 multi-engine and 1 jet aircraft. [3]

In 1997, the terminal was modernized with five new gates, and the highway access was reconstructed.

CWA has T-Hangars for lease or either an individual or corporation can construct their own hangar.[4]

The airport is home to a maintenance base for Endeavor Air.

On 1 September 2012, the airport began a $10 million modernization program, moving the security checkpoints and enlarging the ticket counters to lower passenger congestion. The airport is gaining a geothermal energy system that will reduce utility bills, providing all but 20% of its heating and cooling requirements.[5]
