## Description

Denver Air Connection has served Chadron Municipal Airport (CDR/KCDR) since September 2025, operating twelve weekly round trips to Denver (DEN) with nine-seat Metroliner 23 turboprops under the federal Essential Air Service program, replacing Southern Airways Express. Set at 3,297 feet in Nebraska's remote northwestern corner, the field is a passenger feeder with no cargo terminal. The small aircraft carry no meaningful freight, so shipments from the Pine Ridge region travel by road to Rapid City Regional (RAP, about 145 km north in South Dakota) or fly out of Denver. For shippers and small businesses, CDR is a connection to the Denver hub rather than a freight point in its own right.
