Quincy Municipal Airport

Quincy Municipal Airport, also known locally as Baldwin Field, opened in the mid‑20th century (around the 1940s) and operates a single small passenger terminal, making it an easy-to-navigate regional gateway. This compact public airport plays an important role for western Illinois general aviation, pilot training, and occasional regional flights rather than serving as a major airline hub. Located roughly 3 miles from downtown Quincy, it’s accessible by car, local bus connections, taxis and rental cars, with short transfer times to the city center. Travelers usually find lower parking and service fees than at big hubs, and although no major carriers use it as a base, it’s a convenient, budget-friendly option for regional travel.
