Sadly, United Airlines will stop servicing flights to and from Willard Airport (CMI) on September 5th. The inaugural flights started last June, as United was added in addition to the continued American Airlines flights.
Willard did see a growth in air traffic in 2017, and you can read up on CMI from our recent interview with Executive Director Gene Cossey.
A few outlets have posted about it, which you can see below:
