Private charter to & from Cedar Rapids

Cedar Rapids is Iowa’s second-largest city and its manufacturing and food-processing powerhouse. Collins Aerospace, founded here as Collins Radio and later Rockwell Collins, remains one of the largest employers, and the city is home to some of the largest grain and cereal processing plants in the country. Healthcare, insurance, logistics and financial services round out the economy. Cedar Rapids is also proud of its Czech and Slovak heritage and of Grant Wood, the painter of American Gothic, who lived and worked here.

Cedar Rapids is about two hours from Des Moines and four from Chicago or Minneapolis, and airline schedules often require a connection. The Eastern Iowa Airport is on the city’s southwest side, about 20 miles from Iowa City, so a private flight makes it easy to visit aerospace and food-processing operations, the University of Iowa and nearby communities in one trip. Visitors come for the Czech Village and NewBo district along the Cedar River, the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art and its Grant Wood collection, the Brucemore estate and the historic Paramount Theatre.
