Taking the (Air)bus to Branson (BKG)

Some of you might be taking a bus to Branson, but it won’t be the Greyhound variety. Your bus will have wings and can cruise comfortably at 30,000 feet.

Did you know that Branson has it’s very own airport (call sign is BKG) and that three airlines fly into BKG? Air Tran flies to BKG from the east (most flights connecting through Atlanta), Frontier flies to BKG from the west and midwest (connecting either through Denver or Milwaukee) and Branson AirExpress takes our Texas friends straight into BKG.

A few fun facts about the airport (courtesy of Branson airport):

  • It opened May 11, 2009
  • It is the first privately financed and operated commercial service airport in the U.S.
  • It has one runway and a partial taxiway
  • It is located in the Branson Creek development. So, your typical drive to and from the airport will include spectacular views of private homes and some of the region’s golf courses.

Take a look that the BKG Flight Map, which shows the routes you can take to get to BKG.

Attendees can also fly into the Springfield-Branson National Airport, which is approximately 60 miles from Branson. American Airlines, United, Allegiant and Delta all serve this airport.

Get on the bus - or Airbus - to Branson!

  1. If life's journey be endless where is its goal? The answer is, it is everywhere. We are in a palace which has no end, but which we have reached. By exploring it and extending our relationship with it we are ever making it more and more our own.
