In 1946, the university established the Institute of Aviation at Willard Airport, offering flight training and conducting research into aviation-related human factors. In 2014, Parkland College assumed responsibility for the flight training program. By 1969, Willard Airport had become the second-busiest airport in Illinois. However, following the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, many airlines reduced services to smaller airports, leading to a decline in passenger numbers at Willard. Despite these challenges, the airport continues to operate, currently offering non-stop flights to Chicago O’Hare and Dallas-Fort Worth through American Airlines.
For general aviation passengers, Flightstar provides amenities including crew cars, lounges, conference rooms, and an exercise room with shower facilities.
University of Illinois Willard Airport is also famous as one of the few airports that were included in the early versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator, when all we had were a few of lines drawn on a blue and green background!

University of Illinois Willard Airport (KCMI) is a medium sized regional airport south of Savoy in Champaign County, Illinois, United States. It is owned and operated by the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign and is named for former University of Illinois president Arthur Cutts Willard.
This airport played a significant role in the birth of Flight Simulator as we know it today as in 1976, Bruce Artwick, who was a student at the University of Illinois, wrote a thesis on computer flight simulation. He commercialised his ideas the next year and started writing a program called SubLogic Flight Simulator. He took flight lessons from Willard Airport to better understand the dynamics of flight and that is why Willard airport was the default start location for the program and all the flight lessons included in the package. This program was ported to the PC and became Microsoft Flight Simulator V1. 0 in 1982 and the rest is history.
