This is worth monitoring as Chicago/Rockford International Airport hopes to get United to expand service to Denver and add service to an East Coast city like Washington, D.C. For now, the airport’s future growth may rest with smaller up-and-coming airlines.
This is a good time to introduce my favorite transportation blog - Today in the Sky by USA TODAY’s Ben Mutzabaugh. He has a good handle on the worldwide passenger airline industry, and is a fun writer to boot.

These are exciting times in the Rock River Valley when it comes to the transportation and distribution industries.Chicago/Rockford International Airport is having one of its best years ever with passenger service and continues to set records with cargo operations. Distribution centers are popping up all over the place. The Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (remember, they just changed the name) will get widened in Rockford next year. And maybe, just maybe, we’ll have passenger rail again.
Keep checking back here and I’ll update you on the latest developments locally and nationally (and internationally - Ireland, anyone?).
Safe travels!
