The Dubuque Regional Airport is owned by the City of Dubuque and operated and managed by an Airport Commission as a department of the City of Dubuque.

Five Airport Commissioners are appointed by the Dubuque's City Council for terms of four years to operate and manage the airport. An Airport Manager, hired by the Airport Commission, handles the daily operations. The Airport Commission meets once a month or more as necessary and the public is welcome to attend. Agendas for these meetings are available 24 hours in advance of each meeting. The Airport currently has three standing taskforces to assist the Airport Manager in the areas of air service development, advertising and general aviation.
