About Davenport Municipal Airport
The City of Davenport owns and operates the Davenport Municipal Airport. The airport provides a wide variety of services and activities to the community. You can learn to fly, take a sight-seeing tour, charter a private aircraft, or just bring the family out to watch a plane or helicopter take-off.
Our airport is recognized as one of the few enhanced service airports in the state of Iowa and continues to provide the most economic impact to the community out of all Iowa General Aviation airports.
We are fortunate to be served by a full service Fixed Base Operator, that provides corporate aircraft management, charter services, air ambulance, air freight, flight training, aircraft rental, and aerial photography. The City also leases aircraft T-hangars and provides access to self-serve fuel.
Davenport Municipal Airport is also home to the Iowa Air National Guard, Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 75, Civil Air Patrol, the Quad City Air Show, Revv Aviation, and the National Weather Service.

The airport also recognizes its role as an integral asset in the growth and support of our local and regional economies and pledges to fully cooperate and assist in the economic development of the region.
History
Davenport's first Municipal Airport was built in 1928 and was located near Division Street at Duck Creek. "Cram Field", as it was known at that time, was later closed in 1949. The current Davenport Municipal Airport was built and located closer to interstate access at 9230 Harrison Street in 1948.
For more information visit Paul Freeman's Airport History Site on Abandoned and Little Known Airfields. The site provides information on a 2nd Airfield that was once located in Bettendorf, yet known to many as Davenport Airport. The services provided at the location by Agonair Service were relocated to our 9230 Harrison Street site in the 1963 and the Bettendorf (Davenport) Airport was abandoned for residential development.
