The Cape Girardeau Regional Airport , located approximately 5 miles (8 kilometers) southwest of downtown Cape Girardeau, Missouri, has served as a critical aviation facility since its official opening in 1943. Currently managed by the city government, the airport spans 557 acres (225 hectares) and sits at an elevation of 104 meters (342 feet) above sea level.
Equipped with two runways, the airport features Runway 02/20 measuring 1,218 meters in length and 30 meters in width, alongside Runway 10/28, which extends 1,981 meters with a 46-meter width. These facilities support both general aviation and commercial operations, including scheduled flights operated by Cape Air to destinations such as Chicago and Lambert-St. Louis International Airport.
Designated as a general aviation airport under the U.S. National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for the 2011-2015 period, the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport continues to expand its services to meet growing demand from local residents and visitors alike. Its strategic location and modern infrastructure make it a key transportation asset for southeastern Missouri.
