Brief History and Importance

The City of Mason City bought 312 acres west of town in February 1942 and recorded the first official landing on March 29, 1945. The airport lies about six miles west of downtown Mason City in Cerro Gordo County and operates under the Mason City Airport Commission. It holds a place in rock and roll history as the departure point for the 1959 flight that followed the Surf Ballroom concert. In 2021 the airport received over $1.2 million in federal grants toward a new terminal, which reflects how seriously the region treats its air service.

Airlines and Domestic Destinations

United Express, operated by SkyWest Airlines, is the scheduled carrier at MCW. Daily nonstop service runs to Chicago O'Hare (ORD), where United connects to cities across the country and overseas. A single United ticket sends your checked bag through to your final stop automatically. United Express flights from Mason City may use any United gate in Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 at O'Hare, and the gate changes with each flight.

Terminal Information

MCW has a single passenger terminal. All 4 Rental keeps cars on site with a self service kiosk near baggage claim, Jefferson Lines operates a counter in the terminal, and the airport offers free wireless internet. The airport promotes streamlined security, and United asks passengers to check in at least 60 minutes before departure.

Passenger Traffic

In 2025 MCW recorded 8,747 airline passenger enplanements, a 33 percent increase over 2024 and the highest total since 2011. September 2026 brought the strongest September since 2010. Airport leaders now target 10,000 annual enplanements, which would move MCW into the FAA's Primary Airport category and open the door to added federal funding.

Parking Overview

Parking at MCW is free for up to 30 days. Guests who need a longer stay should call the Airport Administration Office at 641 421 3397 to make arrangements. Free parking suits self drive passengers, and a chauffeur removes the need to park at all.

Pick Up and Drop Off Guidance

Departures

Your chauffeur brings you to the terminal entrance and helps with luggage. Because United asks for check in at least 60 minutes before departure, we schedule pickup to place you at the door ahead of that window, with added time from farther towns.

Arrivals

After your flight arrives, we meet you at the terminal near baggage claim. We monitor flight status, so a delayed arrival keeps your ride in place.

Address and GPS Notes

The airport address today is 9184 265th St, Clear Lake, IA 50428. The airport has announced a new address for the same location, 17830 Airport Boulevard, Clear Lake, IA 50428. Navigation apps can take time to update, and either address leads to the terminal.

Meeting Your Chauffeur

You receive your chauffeur's name and phone number before pickup, so finding each other takes seconds.

Ground Transportation Options

The airport's ground transportation guide lists the main choices at MCW:

• All 4 Rental: cars on site with a kiosk near baggage claim
• Enterprise Rent A Car: located offsite in Mason City, with airport pickup when arranged in advance
• Jefferson Lines: daily bus service to Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Des Moines
• Best Western of Clear Lake: complimentary shuttle for guests
• Taxis: local companies must be booked in advance because taxis do not come to the airport without a prior arrangement

Mason City Transit does not serve the airport, which leaves a prebooked ride as the most predictable option for many travelers.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

Before You Travel

• Send us your United flight number and a mobile number
• Plan extra time for snow, ice, and fog on rural roads
• Confirm whether your hotel offers a shuttle or needs a private ride

After You Arrive

• Collect your bags at the terminal and text your chauffeur
• Keep your onward plans handy, such as hotel or meeting addresses
• Ask your chauffeur about the quickest route to Clear Lake or downtown Mason City

Why a Prebooked Chauffeur Works Best at MCW?

Taxis in the Mason City and Clear Lake area do not come to the airport without advance arrangement, and local transit does not serve the terminal. Rideshare availability near a regional airport with one daily flight can be limited. A prebooked chauffeur removes that uncertainty. Union Limousine confirms your vehicle ahead of time, monitors your flight, and waits at the terminal with a clear quote already in place.
