On behalf of the team at University of Illinois – Willard Airport, we wish you a happy new year with seamless travel. We continue to be dedicated to making the travel experience better for you. We are investing millions of dollars in the airport experience, with some exciting projects on the horizon.

We welcomed US Senator Dick Durbin to the Airport this fall, as we opened a re-aligned taxiway system at the midfield. The project helps to make it easier for aircraft to navigate the airfield, improving safety and efficiency as aircraft taxi to the runways. The Airport also renamed all the other taxiways too, bringing our airfield to current Federal Aviation Administration standards.
