Remodeling to Get Underway at Springfield-Branson National Airport

Springfield-Branson National Airport

Changes coming to the Springfield-Branson National Airport should benefit customers.

A restaurant remodel will add more seating and will allow the venue to expand its menu offerings.  The work is expected to start this month, and will be finished by spring. 

The free Wi-Fi at the airport will be upgraded as well, which spokesman Kent Boyd says “should speed up connection speeds considerably.”  And it will be easier for customers to charge their devices.  The airport currently has eight charging stations in the gate areas.  Those will be expanded to 80 with most at dedicated task tables.

Boyd says making those improvements are “vital to the airport’s success.”
