Branson Airport

Branson Airport is 10 miles south of the world-famous Branson Strip and has the capacity to handle more than 1 million enplanements annually. Families and groups flying to Branson have dining and auto-rental services on-site, as well as taxi and shuttle service into Branson.  AirTran Airways and Sun Country Airlines are providing flights to Branson from Atlanta, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Dallas-Fort Worth, hubs that connect Branson with most major U.S. cities, as well as international destinations.

Springfield-Branson National Airport

Springfield-Branson National Airport opened its new 275,000 sq. ft., $117 million Midfield Terminal on May 6. The new terminal replaces the old facility on Kearney Street, which the community had outgrown. The new facility has 10 airline gates and room to add 50 more if needed. Accessibility has been improved as well: flyers can walk from their car to their airplane without climbing a single stair. Allegiant Air and American Airlines are among the carriers providing low-cost flights to the airport. Springfield-Branson National Airport is roughly 50 miles north of Branson.
