Waterloo Regional Airport
Waterloo Regional Airport, in northeastern Iowa, has two runways available, 873 feet above sea level, which offers reasonable capacity for a mid-sized Iowa city surrounded by farmland. Waterloo sits along the Cedar River, in a part of the state historically built around manufacturing and agriculture rather than the state's larger metro areas. Chicago and other regional hubs connect directly to Waterloo through this field, offering local residents and businesses a quicker option than the multi-hour drive across Iowa's farm country to a bigger airport.
