Sky Harbor Airport & Seaplane Base[1] or Sky Harbor Airport[2][3] (ICAO: KDYT, FAA LID: DYT) is a public airport in Duluth, Minnesota, United States.[2] It is located near the Wisconsin border, between Superior Bay and Lake Superior.[4] The airport is six nautical miles (11 km) southeast of the central business district of Duluth, Minnesota, on Minnesota Point within its city limits.[2]
The airport is owned by the Duluth Airport Authority and has been operating for over 50 years. It is one of only four airports in Minnesota offering both a hard surface runway for airplanes and water landing areas for seaplanes.[3]
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Sky Harbor Airport is assigned DYT by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.[5]

For the 12-month period ending May 30, 2006, the airport had 13,900 aircraft operations, an average of 38 per day: 94% general aviation and 6% air taxi. In 2016, there were 26 aircraft based at this airport: 23 single-engine and 3 multi-engine. [2]
