David Leong didn't set out to change the way a city eats. He just wanted to fill his dining room.

It is easier to get to Branson than most think.

15 (!) nonstop destinations, 4 airlines and 7 major hubs, all just one flight from SGF. ✈️

When you fly local, you make more destinations possible. But we're ✨ always ✨ working behind the scenes with airlines and advocating for more dots on the map.

We hear you: a Northeast route, SLC, MSP, a West Coast or California airport, they're on your wish list, and they're at the top of ours, too. When you fly local, you show airlines why they should invest in more service from SGF. We'll keep asking, but you flying SGF helps secure more and more destinations offered from our community.

Let's keep going and growing, shall we?

To anyone in Phoenix wanting a getaway this summer, American has a new direct flight into the Ozarks!

Beginning May 23, American Airlines starts seasonal, Saturday-only service between Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF) and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX).

"For nearly 60 years, American Airlines has been providing commercial air service to the Ozarks,” said Brian Weiler, director of aviation at SGF. “We are grateful for the continued investment American Airlines has made in providing the air service needs of Southwest Missouri.”

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is a major hub for American, offering nonstop service to more than 110 domestic and international destinations.

“We’re eager to welcome travelers from Southwest Missouri on our new service to Phoenix this summer,” said Jordan Pack, American’s Director of Domestic Network Planning. “As we’ve steadily grown our flights out of SGF, travelers have responded positively. This has given us the confidence to add flights to Phoenix that will unlock more access from Springfield to the Southwest and Western U.S.”

The seasonal service begins May 23 and ends Aug. 1. Tickets can be purchased at aa.com or through American’s mobile app.

Extra option out of SGF to MIA! Hope we can make this an annual seasonal or better yet, daily.
