Davenport Municipal Airport (DVN)

Davenport Municipal Airport (DVN) is a city-owned general aviation facility located seven miles north of the central business district of Davenport, Iowa. Spanning 764 acres, the airport features two concrete runways, including the 5,511-foot primary runway (15/33) which is equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS). It serves as a vital hub for private aircraft, flight training, and corporate aviation in the Quad Cities region, handling over 50,000 aircraft operations annually. A modern 7,460-square-foot terminal building, which opened in 2011, provides high-quality facilities for pilots and executive travelers. Managed by Revv Aviation (formerly Carver Aero), the terminal includes a comfortable pilot's lounge with theater seating and a big-screen TV, a flight planning room with direct views of the runway, and several professional conference rooms for business meetings. The Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) offers comprehensive services including 100LL and Jet A fueling, aircraft maintenance, avionics repair, and heated hangar space for transient aircraft. While the airport does not currently host scheduled commercial airline services, it is a preferred destination for private charters and business travelers looking to avoid the congestion of larger commercial hubs. Ground transportation is well-supported by on-site rental car services and local taxi providers, with easy access to major highways like Interstate 80. The facility also hosts a flight school and provides specialized services such as GPU starts and lavatory service. For commercial flights, the nearest major facility is Quad City International Airport (MLI), located just across the river in Moline, Illinois.
