Flint Bishop Airport Welcomes a New Tenant to the Airport Family and a New Business to Genesee County

A new business moves into one of the buildings owned by Flint Bishop Airport, making them one of the newest tenants at FNT. The Airport is pleased to welcome Wings and Wheels to the community. Wings and Wheels is a Cartage company that plays a vital role in the majority of “large” deliveries in the region. If you’ve ever ordered anything online, that’s of value, large, and needs a signature, Wings and Wheels plays a role.

“Companies like Wings and Wheels are incredibly important in today’s growing eCommerce and we’re thrilled they chose to move their operation to the airport,” said Craig Williams, Airport Director.

Lynette Gavlinski and her husband, Gary Gavlinski, own the business and employ 17 people. They also hire seasonal employees when online ordering increases during the holidays. This move to the airport is a homecoming of sorts for them. They used to operate out of a location in Taylor and moved to a building on Dort Highway but outgrew that location before landing at FNT. They began operations at Flint Bishop last month.

“I am proud to bring our business to Flint and to the airport. We’ve been in Flint before but not in this capacity. This building is perfect for us, this is a natural fit,” said Lynette Gavlinski.

Wings and Wheels works with Air Freight Forwarders that handle shipments from Home Depot, Wayfair, Target, Costco, and others to get the large items ordered to customer’s doorsteps. In many cases, members from their team are the ones delivering the items or picking up any unsatisfactory items after they’ve been assembled. Wings and Wheels handles about 400 shipments a week.

Additional lease opportunities exist at the airport. If you are interested in hearing more about the options available, please contact FNT's administration offices at 810-235-6560.
