After months of seeing significant passenger growth, Iowa's largest airports saw nearly 97% of commercial air travel screech to a halt. While cargo had been ticking upward, it can't cover the losses of commercial air travel. What impact will this mean for Iowa's airports? How long could it take to recover and what could this mean for the future of air travel for consumers?
