Iowa's two major airports see record growth and cargo shifts
The Gazette reports Des Moines International and The Eastern Iowa Airport Cedar Rapids, which together handle over 93 percent of Iowa’s air passengers and most air cargo, posted record 2018 activity and expect continued growth amid a national pilot shortage. Eastern Iowa Airport saw 1.2 million passengers last year, a 5.4 percent rise, and March 2019 set a new monthly high. Des Moines International also posted a record year with strong passenger and cargo figures as UPS relocated services to Illinois, balancing statewide airfreight.
