Quincy Regional Airport (IATA: UIN, ICAO: KUIN, FAA LID: UIN) (Baldwin Field) is a city-owned airport 12 miles east of Quincy, a city in Adams County, Illinois, United States.[1] It is used for general aviation but also sees Southern Airways Express flights to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and St. Louis Lambert International Airport, a service which is subsidized by the federal government's Essential Air Service program at a cost of $1,956,856 (per year).[2] The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2023–2027 categorized it as a national non-primary commercial service facility.[3]
The first airline flights were on Mid-Continent in 1947; successor Braniff left in 1959. TWA arrived in 1948 and left in 1953-54; Ozark arrived in 1950 and left in 1982.
It is the least busy of the 12 commercial airports in Illinois.[when?]
Quincy has a solar panel project that is expected to be operational by the end of 2022.[4]
The airport has often played host to events held by the International Stinson Club, including fly-ins, job fairs, and more.[5]

In July 2021, there were 54 aircraft based at this airport: 33 single-engine, 13 jet, 7 multi-engine, and 1 ultra-light.[1]
