American Airlines has announced plans to start service between Dallas/Fort Worth and Joplin, Missouri starting February 11, 2011. To celebrate launch of their new service, they’re also offering Double AAdvantage Miles on flights between the two cities.
Joplin officials worked with American Airlines to bring twice daily, non-stop, round trip flights to Joplin’s airport from DFW on American Eagle. According to an article published by the Joplin Independent, bringing American to the city is part of an effort to reverse a decline in passenger traffic that started back in 2007 when Air Midwest and Great Lakes Aviation took over service to Joplin, connecting it to Kansas City. Local passengers started bypassing their own airport, driving instead to Springfield, MO or Arkansas’ Northwest Regional Airport in Bentonville, both or which have had American Eagle service connecting them to DFW and better pricing.
To help attract traffic back to Joplin, American is offering special prices: $59 one-way between the two cities and low introductory fares from Joplin to several destinations. For instance, a mid-week, advance purchase fare to New York La Guardia is available for only $318 round-trip – almost $200 cheaper than a comparable flight from Springfield, MO.
