Burlington Airport

Dating to the mid-20th century with public airline service beginning in the 1940s, Burlington Airport is a small regional gateway serving Burlington and southeast Iowa from a single terminal. Compact but important for local travel and general aviation, it connects the Mississippi River valley and nearby western Illinois to larger hubs. The airport is just a short drive from downtown Burlington via US highways, with rental cars, taxis and rideshares commonly available and limited shuttle options for nearby towns. Not a major hub, it sees scheduled regional flights (commonly under American Eagle/partner carriers) and is generally considered an affordable, no-frills option for budget-minded travelers.
