News: Sioux City Embraces Their Airport Code

USA Today has reported that after fighting for years to replace the three-letter code used to identify Sioux Gateway Airport (SUX), city leaders are now making SUX the focal point of a new marketing campaign designed to draw more visitors to their little cornfield of dreams.

Sioux City officials petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to change the code in 1988 and 2002. At one point the FAA offered the city five alternatives including (GWU, GYO, GYT, SGV and GAY), but airport trustees turned them down.

To support their campaign you can purchase a Fly SUX t-shirt to show your support!
