Cape Girardeau Airport

Cape Girardeau Regional Airport (CGI) — serving Cape Girardeau and southeast Missouri — began as a municipal airfield in the mid-1940s and today operates a single passenger terminal catering to regional and general aviation traffic. This compact but vital airport links the area to larger hubs and is convenient for Southeast Missouri State University travelers and riverfront visitors; it sits a short drive from downtown with rental cars, taxis and nearby highway access making connections to Jackson and Sikeston easy. CGI is not a hub for major airlines and is typically served by regional carriers (often under EAS), with generally affordable parking and ground costs though airfares can be moderate due to limited competition.
