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!
