Springfield-Branson National Airport

The Ozarks Transportation Organization area encompasses the Springfield-Branson National Airport. This airport is one of the fastest growing small hubs in the United States, moving almost 900,000 passengers in 2006. Currently, the airport works with the following External Linkairlines: Allegient, American, Delta, Northwest, and United.

Now open is the new Midfield Terminal. The new terminal provides greater customer service and has 10 fully functional gates with room to expand to 60. All services from parking to ticketing to getting on the airplane are all on the same level as part of a growing effort to make public facilities more accessible.
