About Iowa City Municipal Airport

Iowa City Municipal Airport, also designated by the FAA and IATA code IOW and ICAO code KIOW, is a municipally owned airport located approximately two miles southwest of downtown Iowa City in Johnson County, Iowa. Established in 1921, it holds the distinction of being the oldest civil airport west of the Mississippi River that remains in its original location, reflecting a century-long legacy of aviation in the region. The airport primarily serves general aviation, flight training, corporate travel, and limited charter services, playing a vital role in connecting Iowa City with broader economic, educational, healthcare, and cultural opportunities. With a single paved runway, modern navigational aids, and dedicated facilities including a pilot lounge, conference room, and aircraft hangars, it supports both recreational flyers and professional aviators. The airport's proximity to the University of Iowa and the Iowa City-Cedar Rapids corridor makes it strategically important for academic and business travel. Over the years, the airport has contributed significantly to the local economy, generating nearly $24 million in activity, while also providing community engagement through aviation events and educational programs that inspire future pilots and enthusiasts.
