Travel should be easy for everyone and the Springfield-Branson National Airport is making sure of it! Whether you’re a frequent flyer or a first-time visitor, the airport works hard to ensure you have a smooth, safe and comfortable trip. The airport has several accessibility features to make your travel experience that much better.
Convenient Access from the Start
From the accessible entrance, only 45 steps to the door, the airport offers convenient access from the parking lot. It also has handicap and drop-off parking only 150ft from the front door.
A Step-Free, Easily Navigable Experience
The airport has been designed with no steps, escalators or elevators, so no one ever has to step on a curb! Its completely flat design is made to accommodate individuals of all abilities.
Better yet, the airport is super easy to navigate. Because of its small size, a total of only 275,00 sq ft., you can see all the way to the back from the front doors.

Pet-Friendly
But that’s not all! You might be traveling with your pets, and the airport has you in mind too. There is a pet potty spot right outside on the northwest corner, with a cute white fence for your furry friends to enjoy after your flight.
