With both cargo and passenger service making big gains, RFD has every reason to celebrate a record-setting 2018.

The airport saw a 55 percent overall increase in cargo shipping, breaking the two million pound mark for the first time and a three percent increase in the total number of passengers making that more than 200,000 travelers passing through its doors. One thousand jobs were created this last year and the airport expects to see an additional 1,000 added throughout 2019.

 

Congratulations on a job well done, RFD!
