The Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF) is the gateway to the Missouri Ozarks and the tourist Mecca of Branson, which attracts more than 7 million visitors a year. With direct flights to 10 cities, SGF enjoys connectivity to the national air system that is unusual for a market its size.

While passenger numbers have not consistently increased every year, the overall average growth, over the past 15 years is 4% a year, with total boarding passengers over the period growing by 93%.

Owned by the City of Springfield, SGF is managed by an 11-member administrative board. Airport Board members are appointed by the City Manager, with confirmation made by the City Council.

Acting as an independent body, the Board plans, develops, operates and maintains existing and future airport properties, and the overall management of employees.

The Board operates the airport as a self-supporting enterprise function, meaning that it operates without local/state tax revenues or general city funds. Daily operations are funded by money generated from leases and contracts with the airlines and other businesses using airport facilities. Grants from the Federal Aviation Administration are received on a matching basis for the funding of qualifying improvement projects. Federal grants are funded mainly by federal taxes on airline tickets, aviation fuel and cargo shipments.
