## Description

Seven weekly round trips to Chicago O'Hare and five to Dallas/Fort Worth: that is the schedule Contour Airlines has flown from Cape Girardeau Regional (IATA: CGI, ICAO: KCGI) since December 2025 under the federal Essential Air Service programme, using 30-seat CRJ-200 and ERJ-135 jets. A seasonal, unsubsidised Pensacola (PNS) route was added on 1 April 2026, and connections to two major hubs have lifted passenger numbers by roughly a quarter. None of that makes the field a freight point: there is no cargo terminal, no freighter service and no customs office, only marginal belly capacity on regional jets. Bulk commodities — grain, gravel, coal — still move by barge on the Mississippi below the bluffs, as they did in the steamboat era. Air freight for southeastern Missouri is trucked about two hours north to St. Louis Lambert (STL) or just under three hours south to Memphis (MEM), FedEx's global superhub, both reached via Interstate 55. Customs clearance for international consignments takes place at those two gateways, not at CGI.
