American Airlines announces Phoenix Sky Harbor service coming to SGF

Jan 26 2026

Springfield’s largest airline has added a fifth nonstop route at SGF.

Beginning May 23, American Airlines starts seasonal, Saturday-only service between Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF) and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX)

"For more than 50 years, American Airlines has been providing commercial air service to the Ozarks,” said Brian Weiler, director of aviation at SGF. “We are grateful for the continued investment American Airlines has made in providing the air service needs of Southwest Missouri.” 

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is a major hub for American, offering nonstop service to more than 110 domestic and international destinations.

“We’re eager to welcome travelers from Southwest Missouri on our new service to Phoenix this summer,” said Jordan Pack, American’s Director of Domestic Network Planning. “As we’ve steadily grown our flights out of SGF, travelers have responded positively. This has given us the confidence to add flights to Phoenix that will unlock more access from Springfield to the Southwest and Western U.S.”

The seasonal service begins May 23 and ends Aug. 1. Tickets can be purchased at aa.com or through American’s mobile app.

Springfield-Branson National Airport is the gateway to the Ozarks, supporting four airlines with nonstop flights to 15 destinations. Every trip from SGF helps strengthen air service, which helps the airport attract and retain nonstop destinations and airlines for passengers in Southwest Missouri. Springfield-Branson National Airport is Missouri’s third-largest airport.
