CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (KCRG) - The Eastern Iowa Airport says passenger traffic is up 9% in 2025 with July being the seventh straight month for record passenger numbers.

The airport says passenger traffic in July was up 6% compared to July 2024.

Airport director Maty Lenss says with additional seats in the market for holiday travel, CID is on pace to set its third consecutive annual total passenger record.

In 2023, the Eastern Iowa Airport saw 1.4 million passengers. That number grew to 1.5 million in 2024.

“We have to thank the airlines for investing in the region and Eastern Iowans for choosing CID for travel,” Lenss says. “When passengers fill those seats, it shows the airlines that CID is the place to add capacity on existing routes and look at adding potential new routes.”
