FAA Diagram Springfield-Branson National Airport (IATA: SGF, ICAO: KSGF, FAA LID: SGF), formerly Springfield-Greene County Airport, Springfield Municipal Airport and Springfield-Branson Regional Airport, is a public airport located five miles (8 km) northwest of the central business district of Springfield, a city in Greene County, Missouri, United States. The airport has non-stop service to ten U.S. cities.
History
The airport opened under the name of Springfield-Greene County Airport on July 2, 1945 following bond issues of $350,000 in 1942 and $150,000 in 1945 to build the airport. It replaced the Springfield Park and Airport on East Division Street (which now operates as Downtown Airport (Missouri)). Springfield Park was the former McCluer Flying Field which opened in 1925 and purchased by the city in 1928 and which had commercial service by American Airlines and Transcontinental and Western. The airlines discontinued service during the Great Depression.
The airport was shortly renamed Springfield Municipal Airport after the city and county disagreed on funding.
In 1946 American Airlines began first commercial service to the new airport.
In October 1964 a new terminal opened (paid for by a 1960 $600,000 bond issue).
In 1992 the airport was renamed Springfield-Branson Regional Airport capitalizing on the sudden rise of the Branson, Missouri tourist industry (the airport is northwest of Springfield and Branson is more than 50 miles (80 km) southeast of the airport). In the same year the community of Lakeview, Missouri renamed itself Branson West, Missouri. The name changes prompted some locals to joke Springfield should change its name to "Branson North." Branson has no formal say in the running of the airport.
In May 2006 ground was broken for a new terminal and it was announced the airport would be renamed Springfield-Branson National Airport. The new Midfield Terminal opened on May 6, 2009.
Competing Branson airports
The Branson Airport opened in the spring of 2009 to compete with the municipally-owned Springfield airport. Branson Airport, LLC, is reportedly the first privately-owned airport in the US having regularly-scheduled commercial airline service. The $155 million project was funded by $117 of municipal bonds and private investors. It is located a few miles southeast of Hollister, Missouri. As of the fall of 2009, the Branson Airport has just 3 destinations and 2 airlines. Of the 3 destinations, both Atlanta and Dallas/Fort Worth are served by each airport, while Minneapolis/Saint Paul is exclusive to Branson Airport, until seasonal service to Minneapolis begins out of the Springfield Airport once again.
Meanwhile, Branson West hopes to open a $15 million airport with a 5,000-foot (1,500 m) runway on the west side of the community to open in the fall of 2008 on 930 acres (3.8 km) donated by Conco Companies of Springfield (200 acres), Kay Renfro (450 acres) and Martin Eastwood (200 acres). The City had initially proposed building the airport on the east side near Silver Dollar City but the plan was dropped due to protests.. The new airport currently has no plans for commercial traffic.
Incidents
- At 10:36pm March 20, 1955 American Airlines Flight 711 crashed more than a mile north of the airport. 11 of 32 passengers died along with the stewardess and copilot. The federal investigation blamed pilot error misjudging the altitude. It is the only commercial crash at the airport.
Facilities and aircraft
Springfield-Branson National Airport covers an area of 2,750 acres (1,113 ha) which contains two runways: 14/32 with an asphalt/concrete surface measuring 8,000 x 150 ft (2,438 x 46 m) and 2/20 with a 7,000 x 150 ft (2,134 x 46 m) concrete pavement.
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2006, the airport had 78,468 aircraft operations, an average of 214 per day: 50% general aviation, 35% air taxi, 8% military and 6% scheduled commercial. There are 190 aircraft based at this airport: 71% single-engine, 20% multi-engine, 7% jet, 1% helicopter and 1% military.
