The fate of daily air service could be decided when the Dubuque council meets Monday night .
The council could make a decision on whether to pull the plug on funding a revenue guarantee for Denver Air Connections to fly from Dubuque Regional Airport to Chicago O’Hare
More than 3.5 million dollars in federal, city and local business investments have already been paid into a revenue guarantee for Denver Air since it began offering daily flights in November 2024.
Ridership levels need to reach 80 percent on those flights before funding isn’t required by the contact with Denver Air. Dubuque Regional Airport reported in October flights were 53 percent full, the highest ridership of any month since service began in November 2024.
