Joplin Regional Airport (IATA: JLN, ICAO: KJLN, FAA LID: JLN) is a city-owned airport five miles north of Joplin, in Jasper County, Missouri.[1] It has airline service subsidized by the Essential Air Service program. Airline flights and general aviation are in separate terminals.

Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 26,380 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2014,[2] and 28,302 in 2015.[3] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2016–2019 categorized it as a primary commercial service airport (more than 10,000 enplanements per year).[4]

History

In the 1990s and early-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 commenced service to Kansas City International Airport on August 1, 2006 (operating as US Airways Express)[7] The airline also started flying to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on October 5, 2006 (operating as Mesa Airlines).[8]

In 2007 Great Lakes Airlines began EAS-subsidised service to Kansas City International Airport after the end of commercial service by Mesa Airlines. The airline 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 terminated service to Joplin as American Eagle operated by Envoy Air now operates regional jets to Dallas–Fort Worth.

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