COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The City of Columbia announced in a Monday press release that Columbia Regional Airport will announce new flights on Tuesday.
The announcement comes after Columbia Regional Airport had 14,202 passengers depart from its airport in October, which is a record for the location. Another press release on Monday says there were 28,810 arrivals and departures combined.
The airport has flights that operate daily to Chicago O’Hare, Denver and Dallas Fort Worth.
“These numbers reflect the confidence travelers have in choosing their local airport,” airport manager Michael Parks said in a news release. “United’s new service, combined with American Airlines existing routes, gives passengers access to hundreds of destinations around the world, while saving time and supporting our local economy.”
The airport is expecting more than 5,500 travelers during the week of Thanksgiving, the release says.
