## Description

High on the bluffs above the Mississippi, Cape Girardeau Regional (IATA: CGI, ICAO: KCGI) serves Missouri's southeast corner under the Essential Air Service programme. Contour Airlines flies CRJ-200 and ERJ-135 jets to Chicago O'Hare (ORD), adding Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) from December 2026 plus seasonal Pensacola. The river below did the heavy lifting in Mark Twain's steamboat days, and for bulk freight it still does — by barge. Air cargo never enters the picture at the field itself: shipments truck two hours north to St. Louis Lambert (STL) or just under three hours south to the FedEx superhub in Memphis.
