The University of Illinois Willard Airport is an airport owned and operated by UIUC located in Savoy, Illinois, a small village that is part of the Champaign-Urbana Metropolitan Area. It serves the greater Champaign-Urbana area and most of East Central Illinois. Its International Air Transport Association code is CMI and it's ICAO airport code is KCMI. Willard Airport is served by Northwest Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, and American Connection. It serves primarily to connect travelers to Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, and Lambert-Saint Louis International Airport. Due to being owned by UIUC, Willard Airport sees much more use than most airports of its size. Visitors from around the world frequently fly into Champaign-Urbana in order to collaborate with researchers at the University, or companies in the university's Research Park. Willard Airport is home to the University of Illinois Institute of Aviation, which is a major research facility at the university. It has the distinction of being one of the few University-owned research airports. The Institute of Aviation is ranked amongst the top 10 programs in the nation, and the Institute's facilities have won numerous prestigious awards. == External Link == * [http://www.flycmi.com Willard Airport Webpage] * [http://www.airnav.com/airport/KCMI CMI information at airnav.com] Airports of Illinois Champaign County, Illinois
== Nationally Acclaimed == This is not a POV statement, I've clarified what I meant by this on the page. The center and airport both rank amongst the top ten in the nation, and have won several awards and distinctions both from governmental and academic agencies. It's a fact that is notable, and should be stated because it helps to fully explain why CMI is a different airport from most small airports of its size. User:Agriculture 08:40, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC) == KCMI vs. CMI == [http://www.iata.org/ps/publications/codes/demo.htm] -> IATA's page for looking up airport codes. A search for KCMI returns no results, a search for CMI returns one result. As a note, my baggage from Europe was marked at CDG with "CMI" only and not KCMI, so User:Fawcett5's claim that KCMI is correct is disputed. User:Agriculture 08:44, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC) :Doing some research I found that the code User:Fawcett5 is refering to is not the IATA code, but the ICAO code. ICAO codes do indeed use IATA codes and add a K in the US. However ICAO codes unlike IATA codes are not used for registering a flight, designation on time tables, or baggage. ICAO codes simply indicate a weather station, and not all ICAO codes refer to airports, some refer to weather stations broadcasting aviation data with no affiliated airport.

User:Agriculture 08:58, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC) === Response == As a pilot, I can assure Agriculture that the ICAO code is the prefered full identifier for an airport. It is true that I muddled the IATA and the ICAO. It is not true that ICAO codes simply indicate a weather station. Many airports without weather stations have ICAO identifiers. Also, I'm afraid to say that AirNav also took the public domain picture from a US DOT site - it is, after all in the public domain. The original can be found at: http://www.ama500.jccbi.gov/cmiatct/airports.htm, which I am restoring. :Ok, but in the future you need to give a reference to the location where you obtained the original image. Additionally, while ICAO may be prefered by pilots it is not the most relevant listen as IATA is the only one seen by passengers. I never said it only indicated weather stations, only that it was often used for weather stations with no airports as well. User:Agriculture 17:35, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
