Cape Girardeau, Missouri · Chauffeured airport transfers
Cape Girardeau Airport (CGI) Car Service & Chauffeured Transportation
A small terminal on the Mississippi, and a chauffeur who is already parked at it.
Cape Girardeau Regional runs jets to Chicago, Dallas and Florida out of one building, which makes the ground half of the trip the only complicated part. Executive Transportation removes it: a uniformed chauffeur at your address, the bags handled, and the same treatment for a private flight at the FBO.

Know the airport
What to know about Cape Girardeau Regional
Cape Girardeau Regional Airport, code CGI, is owned and run by the City of Cape Girardeau, sits off Interstate 55, and works out of a single terminal with one commercial carrier. The same operation runs the general aviation ramp, which is where private and charter flights come and go.
One carrier, a board that changes with the season
The airport publishes daily nonstop service to Chicago O’Hare and a five-day-a-week nonstop to Dallas-Fort Worth, both with Contour Airlines, plus a twice-weekly Orlando Sanford run between December 16, 2026, and March 27, 2027, and seasonal Pensacola service returning in 2027. Check the current board before you book the car, because the schedule here shifts with the season.
The terminal keeps its own hours
The building is open from 6 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and the airport asks travelers to arrive at least an hour before a scheduled departure, which it says is especially critical on the early morning flights. That is the deadline a pickup time is built around.
Parking is free, and so is the ramp
The airport publishes free short- and long-term terminal parking year-round, and the FBO advertises free ramp parking on the general aviation side. Nobody here is being driven to dodge a lot ticket. They are being driven because of the hour of the flight and the state they want to arrive in.
Terminal, schedule, parking and general aviation details checked on the airport’s own site, flycgi.com, on September 17, 2026. Seasonal routes change, so confirm the board before you travel.
Cape Girardeau airport transportation
Departures and arrivals at CGI
One terminal door, used twice. The difference is which way you are walking through it.
Departures
Your door to the Cape Girardeau terminal
- Give a coordinator the flightThe carrier, the flight number and the time it is scheduled out. With one terminal and one carrier that is the whole briefing.
- The pickup is built from the hour the airport asks forArrive an hour before departure, the airport says, and more on the early ones. We set the pickup so that hour is comfortable rather than theoretical, with the drive itself on top.
- Bags handled at your addressLoading happens at your own front door rather than in a parking lot. Checked bags, sample cases and a week of luggage are what decide between a sedan and an SUV, so say what is coming.
- Dropped at the CGI terminal doorThe drop is at the front of the building, a few steps from the counter. Nobody is walking across a lot with a roller bag at 5 a.m.
Arrivals
Off the aircraft and back to your door
- Put the flight number on the bookingA flight number and a scheduled arrival are all it takes to hold the car. If the connection out of Chicago or Dallas slips, call dispatch and the pickup moves with it.
- Met at the CGI claim area before the belt movesBaggage comes into the same building, and your chauffeur is standing at the claim area with your name before the belt starts moving.
- We take the luggage and walk you outThe chauffeur lifts the bags off the belt, carries them out to the vehicle and loads them. You never stand outside the terminal looking for a car.
- Evening arrivals are normal hereThe terminal closes at 7:30 p.m., and plenty of our work lands near it. Dispatch is answered day and night, and the run is held against your flight rather than the building’s hours.
Private jets and charter
Private jet and charter flights at Cape Girardeau Regional
The city runs the fixed base operator here itself, and a good share of the movements on the field never involve an airline ticket. Executive Transportation meets those aircraft at the FBO rather than at the terminal.
- 01
Pickup at the FBO door
Private and charter arrivals come off the general aviation apron, and that is where the chauffeur waits. No terminal hours to work around and no counter to pass.
- 02
Luggage loaded plane-side
Where the operator and the ramp allow it, bags move from the aircraft straight into the vehicle. Where they do not, the handover happens at the FBO door instead.
- 03
The hotel run and the meeting run together
Crew heading for a hotel and passengers heading for a meeting move on the same booking, in one vehicle or two, without either waiting on the ramp for the other.
- 04
One Sprinter takes the whole aircraft
Fourteen seats and room for hard cases carry a full light jet or turboprop load in one go. Bigger groups take a coach, and the quote covers the vehicle either way.
Where general aviation runs at CGI
- Cape Aviation750 Rush H. Limbaugh Jr. Memorial Drive, Cape Girardeau, Missouri 63703The city owns and operates the FBO itself. Jet A with FSII, ground handling, hangar storage, a pilot lounge and a courtesy car, with advance scheduling on (573) 335-6632.
Send the tail number, the operator and the scheduled arrival at booking. Cape Aviation publishes its own opening hours, so confirm them with the FBO if you are landing early or late. We prefer 72 hours’ notice, but call anytime. Short-notice trips depend on availability.
Executive Transportation is a ground transportation company. We drive to the aircraft, we do not charter it.

Why be driven
Four reasons to be driven to CGI
Free parking takes one argument off the table, which leaves the ones that actually matter: the hour, the luggage, and who is driving home afterwards.
The car is quoted, not the headcount
The vehicle and chauffeur are quoted by the hour, with a minimum stated up front, and a coordinator builds those hours from the Interstate 55 run. Four colleagues share one vehicle, not four seats.
Your car stays at home
A free space is still a car left outside for a week and a drive home at the end of a long travel day. The chauffeur takes you to your own door instead.
An hour of work, or an hour of sleep
The back seat is a working hour before an early departure and a quiet one after a late arrival. Most riders use it for both over a round trip.
Uniformed chauffeurs since 2004
Chauffeured airport work has been this company’s business since 2004. The chauffeur turns up in uniform ahead of the time on the booking and stays with the car while the bags go in.
We prefer 72 hours’ notice, but call anytime. Short-notice trips depend on availability.

Where our Cape Girardeau runs start
Executive Transportation drives to Cape Girardeau Regional from across Illinois, in both directions, on one quote for the whole vehicle. These are the cities the work comes from most, and each has a page of its own.
The times below are clear-road runs to the terminal door. Book against the flight instead of the drive: the pickup is built backward from your departure and the early morning ones start in the dark.
The figures are calibrated for clear roads, so treat them as the best case. Effingham, Mattoon, Mount Vernon and the addresses in between are all on the way.
Wherever the run starts, the hourly figure is for the whole car.
Park or be driven
Park at CGI, or be driven to it
The airport charges nothing to park, at the terminal or on the ramp. So the comparison here is not about money at the gate. It is about the car, the hour and the drive home.
- Terminal parkingFreeShort- and long-term spaces at the terminal, year-round, published by the airport itself.
- Ramp parkingFreeThe FBO advertises free ramp parking on the general aviation side for transient aircraft.
- What it still costs youThe driveYour own vehicle out in the weather for a week, plus the drive home at the end of a long day.
A chauffeured transfer trades all of that for a written hourly quote, minimum stated, before you leave. See what actually moves the figure.

Airport to airport
Transfers between Cape Girardeau and other airports
A seasonal board means the better fare is sometimes at another field. Executive Transportation covers the distance between the two in one car, with the cases loaded once and left alone.
Each card is the drive between Cape Girardeau and the airport named, in either direction. We need both flight numbers and both scheduled times on the booking, plus a call to dispatch if one of them slides.
Clear-road figures. The river bridges are the part they do not account for.
Two fields, one reservation, one hourly quote for the car.

Cape Girardeau questions
What people ask before booking a CGI car
The answers below use the airport’s own published terminal, parking and general aviation guidance, read on flycgi.com in September 2026, plus our own calibrated drive times.
Where does the chauffeur meet you at Cape Girardeau Regional?
Executive Transportation meets you inside the CGI terminal at baggage claim, with your name, before the bags come off. CGI is a single building with parking in front of it, so there is no garage to find and no shuttle to wait for. Your chauffeur takes the luggage and walks you out to the vehicle.
See how airport transportation works.
How early should the car collect me for a CGI flight?
The airport asks travelers to arrive at least an hour before a scheduled departure and says that matters most on the early morning flights. Executive Transportation builds the pickup backward from your departure so that hour is comfortable, with the drive and a cushion accounted for on top.
Call (217) 523-5466 with the flight and we will set the time.
Is parking free at Cape Girardeau airport?
Yes. The airport publishes free short- and long-term terminal parking year-round, and the FBO advertises free ramp parking on the general aviation side. What it still costs is a car sitting outside all week and somebody driving home tired at the end of the trip.
Request a Quote and leave the car at home.
What happens if my flight into Cape Girardeau is delayed?
Executive Transportation wants a phone call the moment you hear about a delay. The vehicle is held against the flight number and scheduled arrival given at booking rather than a screen we watch, so the call is what moves it. Dispatch answers day and night, including after the terminal closes.
Call (217) 523-5466 to move a booked pickup.
Do you pick up from private jets and charter flights at Cape Girardeau?
Executive Transportation drives the general aviation side as well as the terminal. We meet private, charter and corporate aircraft at the Cape Aviation FBO door, load plane-side where the operator allows it, and carry crew and passengers on one booking. A Sprinter takes a full aircraft in a single vehicle.
Send the tail number when you book the chauffeur.
Which airlines and destinations does CGI serve?
The airport publishes daily nonstop service to Chicago O’Hare and a five-day-a-week nonstop to Dallas-Fort Worth with Contour Airlines, plus a twice-weekly Orlando Sanford run over the winter and seasonal Pensacola service. Check the current board before booking, because the leisure routes come and go with the season.
Request a Quote once you have the flight.
Can you drive from Cape Girardeau to St. Louis instead?
Executive Transportation drives to St. Louis Lambert and St. Louis Downtown as readily as to the regional field, and plenty of trips end there because the fare or the schedule is better. The same car and the same chauffeur cover the whole distance, and the luggage is loaded once and unloaded at your own door.

Book the ride
Request your Cape Girardeau ride
Three things that make a CGI transfer simple.
The early departure is somebody else’s problem
The airport wants you there an hour ahead, and on the first flight of the day that is a dark, cold start. The chauffeur is the one who has to be awake for it.
A written figure before the car pulls away
The vehicle and chauffeur are quoted by the hour with the minimum stated up front, so the figure is in writing before you leave. A group of five shares one vehicle instead of buying five seats.
Dispatch answers day and night
The terminal closes in the evening. The phone does not, which matters when a connection slips.
