Airports across America are thriving. More than $30 million is being spent to upgrade the Eastern Iowa Airport terminal, a major project for both the airport and Cedar Rapids. The airport is expanding its cargo operation with the help of an $8.8 million federal grant. Increasing passenger fare charge is unwarranted. Iowans cannot afford higher travel costs. A PFC increase is unnecessary.
