In the United States alone, over 700,000 people boarded airplanes from March 2012 to March 2013 according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. There are also about 20,000 airports in America according to airlines.org. Part of those 700,000 passengers boarded at Branson Airport. Branson Airport, LLC. was established in 2002 and opened its doors to the public in 2009. Since then, Branson Airport has been committed to providing a high level of customer service to its passengers and has been expanding its offerings ever since.
One of the biggest changes that Branson Airport has made since 2009 has been adding flights via Southwest Airlines to the mix. Southwest Airlines came to Branson in 2013 and replaced AirTran Airways. In a press release, Jeff Bourke, Branson Airport’s Executive Director was excited to have Southwest Airlines coming into the city. “Southwest Airlines presence in this region will do enormous things for the economic development of the entire Southwest Missouri and Northwest Arkansas area.” In addition to Southwest Airlines, Branson Airport offers flights through Frontier Airlines and Branson AirExpress. With these airlines in place, Branson Airport is able to offer customers non-stop flights to five destinations that include Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, and Orlando. Branson Airport’s claim to fame is for being the “home of everyday low fares” to all of their non-stop destinations.
Another one of Branson Airports expanded offerings is shuttle services into the city. When you arrive at the airport, there are shuttle, taxi, and limousine services available to help you get where you need to go in Branson.

Limousine services are available, but you must call the airport at 1-800-237-4466 in order to get more information about limousines.
In addition to shuttle, taxi, and limousine services, there are three car rental companies on-site ready to help you with your travel in the Branson area.
