Airport Expansion

    Providing economical and efficient flight and aviation services to both the public and corporate sectors of Joplin and the surrounding area is the goal of our Regional Airport. These efforts also assist in stimulating the economic development in this region.

    Travelers in the Joplin metropolitan area can fly to Kansas City from Joplin Regional Airport daily with Mesa Air Group, flying as US Airways Express, at affordable rates. Non-stop service from Joplin to Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport is also offered through Mesa’s subsidiary, Air Midwest and will operate as Mesa Airlines. If your travel takes you further than either of the these cities, both locations provide the connections needed for the leisure and business traveler.

    When flying from the Joplin Regional Airport, enjoy the fact that there are no long drives or overnight stays required, saving you precious time an money. Parking is free and our lot is a short walk to the terminal and gate area. No need to arrive two hours early to clear security, one hour prior flight time will be fine. We provide a convenient, hassle-free environment to your flying experience. Rental cars are also available through Avis and Hertz.

    Exciting changes are on the horizon for the airport; the existing 50-year-old terminal facility will be replaced with a new up-to-date structure that will help to meet the need for commercial aviation in this community for the future. Modern conveniences will be included such as boarding bridges, upgraded security procedures and additional upgrades to meet changing ADA accessibility requirements. The terminal is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2008. 

    The airport is also home to Mizzou Aviation, our Fixed Base Operator.  Mizzou provides aircraft support services for private and corporate aircraft and is the place to go for those who want to learn to fly or want to charter a flight.  Pilots will find a conference room, lounge with telephone and Internet access and private phone booths for their use.  

    Bearskin Cargo & Queen City Airfreight provide both air and ground freight services for the region.
 
    No matter what your air flight needs, Joplin can get you where you want to go and bring you safely home when your trip is over.
