Economic Impact Study 
Iowa's air transportation system, and the airports that support it, are very important to the citizens of the state. Iowa airports provide: connectivity with the rest of the world; facilities for emergency, medical and military activities; educational and recreational events; and cargo and agricultural services. Probably the most prolific aspect of our air system is the economic impact it provides. 

According to a May 2000 Economic Impact Study, performed by Iowa State University research specialists, Iowa's air transportation system contributes $834 million to the state's economy and supports 9,865 jobs!
