FAA airport diagram Waterloo Regional Airport (IATA: ALO, ICAO: KALO, FAA LID: ALO) is a city-owned public-use airport located four miles (6 km) northwest of the central business district of Waterloo, a city in Black Hawk County, Iowa, United States. It is mostly used for general aviation but is also served by one commercial airline. Overview
The Waterloo Regional Airport is a small regional airport with limited facilities with two gates and one jetbridge. Delta Airlines (formerly Northwest) has been the airport's only carrier for several years and offers three regularly scheduled daily flights to Minneapolis-Saint Paul. Delta Connection operates two daily flights utilizing a Saab-Fairchild 340 turboprop and one flight per day on a Canadiar Regional Jet.
Numerous carriers once operated at ALO during the 1980s and 1990s, including American Eagle, United Express, Transworld Express, Midway Connection, and Air Midwest (dba Eastern Express). In the 1960s and 1970s airlines such as Ozark and Braniff also served Waterloo, and there were many flights to Minneapolis, Chicago, Denver, and St. Louis. Competition from nearby airports, especially The Eastern Iowa airport in Cedar Rapids, forced these carriers to eventually drop service from Waterloo Regional. Northwest Airlines attempted mainline jet service from Waterloo using DC-9s, but the number of passengers was insufficient to maintain profitability.
Incidents
Northwest Flight 335 landed without incident at the Waterloo Regional Airport on June 2, 2009, about an hour into its flight from Detroit to Los Angeles with 182 passengers and a flight crew of eight. No injuries were reported. The flight crew diverted the aircraft to Waterloo as a precaution after reporting a "smoky odor" in the cabin.
Northwest flew mechanics to Waterloo to inspect the Boeing 757 and arranged for an extra flight for the stranded passengers [1].
Facilities and aircraft
Waterloo Regional Airport covers an area of 2,583 acres (1,045 ha) which contains three asphalt paved runways: 12/30 measuring 8,400 x 150 ft (2,560 x 46 m), 18/36 measuring 6,002 x 150 ft (1,829 x 46 m) and 6/24 measuring 5,403 x 129 ft (1,647 x 39 m).
For the 12-month period ending October 31, 2006, the airport had 46,833 aircraft operations, an average of 128 per day: 66% general aviation, 13% military, 11% scheduled commercial and 10% air taxi. At that time there were 94 aircraft based at this airport: 79% single-engine, 9% multi-engine, 3% jet and 10% military.
