Rockford Airport

Rockford Airport Overview & History
The Greater Rockford Airport (RFD) is located 85 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois and encompasses over 3,000 acres. RFD is home to 30 industrial tenants and the largest regional parcel-sorting facility in the UPS system - the only facility of its type that handles coast-to-coast cargo. The airport has progressively evolved from a general aviation facility to a dynamic commercial service airport.

RFD is presently ranked as the 22nd largest cargo airport in the nation and the 220th largest passenger airport. Currently, Allegiant Air offers non-stop flights to Orlando, Las Vegas, and Clearwater/St. Pete (Tampa Bay Area) with flights to Fort Lauderdale and Phoenix/Mesa scheduled to start in November and December; United Airlines flies non-stop to Denver and to over 100 connecting destinations and Apple Vacations offers seasonal service to Cancun. RFD averages between 21-25 flights a week.
