Airport traffic takes off in the Quad Cities

Quad Cities International Airport

Last month, the Quad Cities International Airport experienced a 20% growth in air traffic compared to the same time last year.

Airport officials say this February was the busiest February since 2020. A spokesperson says a new flight service to Charlotte, North Carolina has been "a game changer" for passengers.

The airport added a regular flight to Charlotte last December. The twice-daily flight service provides easier connections to the east coast and other countries.
