Central Illinois Regional Airport (CIRA) is more than just an airport; it is a public facility with its own municipality, the Bloomington-Normal Airport Authority (BNAA). Governed by seven locally-appointed members, the BNAA shapes the vision for CIRA's future and oversees policy and projects. The dedicated Executive Director and Staff manage the airport's day-to-day operations, ensuring safety, security, and compliance with federal and state regulations.

Behind the scenes, CIRA is a bustling hub of activity. With over 700 acres of leased farmland and close to ninety hangars for private aircraft owners, the airport is home to various businesses and services. Airlines, car rental companies, TSA, and concessionaires operate in the terminal facility, serving passengers traveling to and from Central Illinois.

CIRA maintains over 70 miles of pavement on the airfield side alone, adhering to FAA standards 24/7, 365 days a year. The airport's commitment to excellence and its role in connecting Central Illinois to the world make it a vital part of the region's transportation infrastructure.
