Board member Steve Dust stressed the importance of eventually adding other destinations. “If we don’t find a way to get people west of here we’re going to continue to be very constrained,” he said.

Steve Dust, CEO Greater Cedar Valley Alliance & Chamber and airport board member is quoted in an article by Andrew Wind, education reporter for The Courier, about the Waterloo Regional Airport Board’s recommendation to switch to United Airlines as the airport’s sole carrier. The airport has been served by American Airlines for nearly six years. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of Aviation Analysis will make the final decision.
