Arthur N. Neu Airport (CIN)

Arthur N. Neu Airport (CIN), also known by its ICAO code KCIN, is a significant public-use aviation facility serving the city of Carroll and the surrounding region of West-Central Iowa. Located approximately five miles southeast of the city center, the airport acts as a critical link for the area's prominent agricultural, manufacturing, and retail sectors. The facility is owned and operated by the City of Carroll and has been an essential part of the regional transportation network since its activation in 1945. The airport features a functional passenger terminal and pilot lounge area designed to cater to the needs of the general aviation community. Facilities include a comfortable waiting lounge, flight planning resources, and restrooms. The airfield infrastructure is robust for a regional field, featuring two paved runways: the primary runway (13/31) measures 5,506 feet in length and is equipped with a non-directional beacon and modern instrument approaches, while the secondary runway (3/21) provides additional operational flexibility. For the convenience of aircraft operators, the airport offers 24-hour self-service fueling for both 100LL Avgas and Jet A through its on-site pumps. Currently, Arthur N. Neu Airport is one of the busiest general aviation hubs in Western Iowa, recording approximately 700 landings per month. It serves as the primary base for Carroll Aviation, the Fixed Base Operator (FBO), which provides a comprehensive range of services including twin-engine charter flights, mechanical repairs, and flight instruction. While the airport does not host scheduled commercial airline service, it remains an indispensable asset for corporate travel and regional agribusiness logistics. Ground transportation into central Carroll is typically arranged via local taxi services or pre-arranged vehicle pickups, providing easy access to the city's business centers and the nearby Swan Lake State Park.
