  "connection_tips": "Macomb Municipal Airport (MQB) is a premier general aviation and corporate aviation hub serving the city of Macomb and Western Illinois University (WIU). Downing Peoria International Airport (PIA), both of which are situated approximately 75 to 85 miles (120-135 kilometers) away. A unique and highly popular advantage of MQB is that it offers two 'courtesy cars' for limited daily use by visiting pilots and passengers, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Major car rental agencies like Enterprise can arrange to have a vehicle delivered directly to the Jet Air FBO terminal for your arrival, provided you book at least 24 hours in advance. Arriving 30 to 45 minutes before a private departure is typically sufficient to clear the rapid administrative processing.\n\nIt is critical for travelers to understand that the airport currently hosts no regularly scheduled commercial airline passenger services. These hubs are accessible via a 1.5-hour drive along US-67 or IL-116. Ground transportation from the terminal is well-organized but primarily road-based. While the 'Go West' bus system provides extensive coverage within the city of Macomb and the WIU campus, it does not currently stop directly at the airport terminal, which is located 3 miles north of town.\n\nFor the vast majority of visitors to this significant educational and agricultural center, the standard 'connection' involves flying into a larger regional hub such as Quad Cities International Airport (MLI) in Moline or General Wayne A. If you are arriving directly at MQB via a private charter or general aviation aircraft, getting to your final destination is exceptionally efficient. For most travelers, local taxi services like S&G Taxi provide the most reliable connection, though pre-booking is strongly recommended. The terminal facilities are high-quality and professionally maintained, offering premium pilot lounges, snooze rooms, and free high-speed Wi-Fi.",

  "terminal_info": "Macomb Municipal Airport (MQB), also known as KMQB, is a distinguished general aviation facility located approximately three miles north of the central business district of Macomb, Illinois. The airport plays an essential role as the primary aviation gateway for Western Illinois University (WIU), frequently supporting charter flights for visiting athletic teams, university recruitment efforts, and high-profile campus visitors. Recognized multiple times as the Illinois General Aviation Airport of the Year, the facility serves as a critical economic driver for McDonough County and the surrounding western Illinois region.\n\nThe passenger terminal is a well-equipped facility managed by the Macomb Airport Authority, offering a professional environment for both corporate and private aviators. Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services are primarily provided by Jet Air, Inc., which offers comprehensive aircraft maintenance, repair, and 24-hour self-service 100LL and Jet-A fuel. Inside the terminal, pilots and passengers have access to a range of amenities including a dedicated crew lounge, pilot 'snooze rooms' for rest between legs, and fully equipped conference rooms for business meetings. Ground transportation is conveniently facilitated through on-site Enterprise rental car services and local taxi providers, with courtesy cars also available for short-duration local travel.\n\nTechnical operations at MQB are centered around a primary 5,100-foot asphalt runway (9/27), which is maintained to high standards to accommodate a variety of aircraft, including modern corporate jets and regional cargo turboprops. A secondary seasonal turf runway (18/36) is also available for specialized light aircraft use. While the airport does not host regularly scheduled commercial airline service, it provides a high-efficiency alternative for private charters and emergency medical transport. Travelers seeking scheduled commercial flights typically utilize the nearby Southeast Iowa Regional Airport (BRL) or the Quad Cities International Airport (MLI), while the city of Macomb itself remains well-connected via daily Amtrak rail services to Chicago.",
