# Quad Cities International Airport (MLI)
Moline, United States · North America
A compact two-concourse leftover with $9 Economy parking, four live airline names, and a $50/year IMEG room, but Project GATEWAY is still tearing up the landside brick and the Allegiant dest card already disagrees with a midweek FIDS.
## Airportist Score

**7.5 / 10**
Weighted sum of the six published categories (no holistic fudge).
- Ease of use (25%): 8.5 — Wayfinding, security wait, and layout.
- Comfort & amenities (20%): 7.4 — Seating, Wi-Fi, cleanliness, and quiet.
- Food & retail (15%): 7.2 — Food and retail quality and variety.
- Ground access (15%): 7.8 — Transit, taxi, and parking to the city.
- Reliability (15%): 7.4 — Delays, cancellations, and weather resilience.
- Lounges (10%): 5.0 — Worth-it density and access quality.

## At a glance

- Passengers: 342,129
- Terminals: 1 scheduled-pax hall, two concourses (A and B)
- Typical security: 10 min
- On-time: 83%
- Disruption: moderate

## Best for

- Quad Cities / eastern Iowa / western Illinois trips that would otherwise drive to ORD or CID
- Repeat MLI departures who will actually buy the $50 IMEG year
- Overnight parking at leftover $9 Long-Term Economy

## Watch out for

- Project GATEWAY Phase 2 leftover from April 2026 is landside construction — tours are closed
- Official Allegiant leftover still prints six dests; live 14–15 Sep 2026 FIDS had none
- Official ride-share card does not print Uber or Lyft names
- IMEG leftover is $50/year with no printed walk-up day pass; live Priority Pass moline-mli is 404
