American Airlines to start PHX service; May is another record-breaker for CID
Cedar Rapids/Iowa City – It is going to be even easier to get to the Valley of the Sun – and points West – with American Airlines new seasonal nonstop…
The board with the official times are included here. Linn Star Transfer had the second fastest time in competition.
Please note, the FRYfest/FlyCID/FedEx team posted the fastest time, however, because FlyCID and FedEx are the host and partner for the event, we are not part of the official competition.
Thank you to all who came out to this fundraiser for Eastern Iowa Honor Flight.
And THANK YOU to EAA Chapter 33 who gave 132 youth their first flight as part of the Young Eagles program.
There's nothing like that first flight to inspire a love for aviation! The EAA pilots donate their time and all the fuel to provide these free Young Eagles' flights.

Additional construction in front of the terminal means there will be only ONE lane open for traffic. This will also mean NO pick-ups or drop-offs on the east half of the front curb.
This temporary situation begins tonight (Mon., June 10) and is expected to last until mid-July.
During this time we are asking people limit their time in front of the terminal. Airport Public Safety will be stepping up their monitoring along the front curb to ensure safety and traffic movement.
Please use the FREE cell phone waiting lot or park in the long- or short-term lots. The first 20 minutes in each of those lots is FREE.
We appreciate your patience while we continue to make improvements to CID.
By signing this pledge, AMPERAGE is letting everyone know they will choose to Fly CID to help the airport and the region grow!

Marty also just learned, due to CID's continued passenger growth, a third checkpoint lane will be included in our terminal modernization project!!!
The Eastern Iowa Airport - CID is with Pamela Hinman.
For all you @runcrandic runners - you will have your chance to get the first sighting of 2019 at the Fly CID aid station on Sunday.
We are station #10 and will be in the area of Wright Bros. Blvd and Club Road.
We know you will all be in a hurry to get to the finish line, but as always - hop ons (and photo ops) are encouraged 😃
Stop by the Information desk in the center of the terminal to pick up your packet today!
It's Earth Day, People!!
In honor of the national day to focus on the environment, we are celebrating one of CID's core values: Environmental Stewardship.
We have several initiatives and projects at the airport that exemplify environmental stewardship, here are a few:
Geothermal: - The 54,000-square foot addition that will be part of the modernized CID terminal will be heated and cooled by a new geothermal system.
Solar: 738 solar panels will be mounted on the roof of the terminal to help reduce energy costs. The airport received a $579,870 US Department of Transportation grant for this project, covering 90 percent of the project's total cost.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations: - Four EV charging stations were installed in 2017. Two are in the short-term parking lot and two are in long-term. Vehicle owners only pay for parking; there is no fee for charging up, courtesy of CID.
CID Farmland: - Most people are surprised to learn that CID is the largest farmer in Linn County with more than 2,000 acres of farmland. The land is leased and farmed by five local farmers. The land is located at the top of the watersheds for both the Cedar and Iowa rivers.
Miscanthus: - The airport has partnered with the University of Iowa to plant Miscanthus for the UI Biomass Fuel Project. Almost 70 acres of farmland was converted to grow Miscanthus - a dedicated energy plant.
Cover Crops: - CID went from 100 acres planted in cover crops to more than 300 acres, and in the 2020 planting season all CID farmland will be planted in cover crop. Cover crops are used to slow erosion, improve soil health, enhance water availability, smother weeds, help control pests and diseases and increase biodiversity.
We're going to have a party.
We're going to give stuff away.
We're also going to Nashville, of course.
Plan accordingly.
Book your tickets at allegiant.com
Return tonight is estimated at 8:45 p.m. For those coming for the return, watch the road construction along the entrance road. You will park in the long-term parking lot.
