## Description

American, then Avelo, then Denver Air Connection — Dubuque Regional Airport (IATA: DBQ, ICAO: KDBQ) has watched three carriers come and go, the last ending its Chicago O'Hare flights on 15 January 2026 and leaving the field without scheduled passenger service. Founded as a lead-mining and Mississippi river-port town, Dubuque has always moved freight by water and rail, and it shows: DBQ carries no scheduled cargo, and the heavy construction equipment from John Deere's Dubuque Works leaves by bridge and rail, not by air. For air cargo, the nearest dependable anchor is The Eastern Iowa Airport (CID) in Cedar Rapids, about an hour to the south-west.
