History[]

American Eagle ATR-72 arrives on American's inaugural flight to Joplin (2011)
American Eagle Embraers await return to Dallas/Fort Worth (2017)

American Airlines flew to Joplin from the 1940s until 1963; the first jets were Ozark DC-9s in 1968.

In the 1990s and early to mid-2000s Joplin had flights to St. Louis, Missouri by RegionsAir ("AmericanConnection") and to Memphis, Tennessee by Mesaba Airlines and Pinnacle Airlines ("Northwest Airlink").[5][6]

Air Midwest began flying to Kansas City International Airport on August 1, 2006 (as US Airways Express)[7] The airline started flying to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on October 5, 2006 (as Mesa Airlines).[8]

In 2007 Great Lakes Airlines began EAS-subsidised service to Kansas City International Airport after the end of Mesa Airlines service. It flew under its own certificate, but flights were code-shares with United Airlines. Air Midwest ended service to Joplin in 2009.[9] Great Lakes Airlines ended service on February 10, 2011, the day before American Eagle Airlines began daily service between Dallas/Fort Worth and Joplin.

On February 11, 2011 American Airlines, operated by American Eagle as Executive Airlines began service between Joplin and Dallas/Fort Worth.[9]

Executive Airlines has ended service to Joplin as American Eagle operated by Envoy Air and Mesa Airlines now operate regional jets to Dallas/Fort Worth.
