America's first privately funded commercial airport.

Opened
2009
Location
Branson, United States
Branson Airport (IATA: BKG, ICAO: KBBG) is a commercial airport serving the Branson, Missouri area, a popular entertainment and tourism destination in the Ozarks region. It opened in 2009 as the first entirely privately financed commercial service airport in the United States, a landmark distinction in American aviation history. The airport was developed and operated by Branson Airport LLC and was designed to serve the millions of tourists who visit Branson annually for its theaters, resorts, and attractions. However, the airport struggled to attract and retain consistent airline service over the years. By the mid-2010s, scheduled commercial passenger service had largely ceased, and the airport transitioned primarily to general aviation and charter operations. The facility nevertheless remains notable for its pioneering private-funding model.
Terminals
The airport features a single modern terminal building designed to handle commercial passenger traffic with standard amenities.
Getting to & from
Ground transportation to Branson and surrounding areas is primarily provided by rental cars, taxis, and shuttle services.
Airlines here
The airport previously hosted carriers including Frontier Airlines and Branson AirExpress, but scheduled commercial service has largely ceased.
