New Westbound Service Operated by SkyWest Airlines to Begin in May
Columbus, Miss.–The Golden Triangle Regional Airport (GTR) is excited to announce that new American Airlines flights, operated by SkyWest Airlines, to Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport (DFW) will begin on May 5, 2025.
“We are thrilled to have these American Airlines flights here at the Golden Triangle Regional Airport,” states airport Executive Director Matt Dowell. “American Airlines has an excellent reputation across the country. Offering both eastbound and westbound service will significantly enhance our ability to serve our community.”
“Adding westbound service from the Golden Triangle provides a tremendous boost to our economic development efforts,” states Joe Max Higgins, Executive Director of the Golden Triangle Development LINK. “We are a very attractive location for major industry, but the one question that I haven’t been able to answer affirmatively about our community until now, is whether we have westbound air service. Today, we can say yes! With this announcement, we now have the missing piece. We couldn’t be more thrilled.”
DFW is the second largest single airline hub in the world with nonstop connections to more than 230 destinations worldwide. Air service to and from GTR will begin with one flight a day onboard a CRJ-700 aircraft. Flights will be timed to connect well with key markets in Texas, the West Coast, Mexico and beyond.
“We are excited to bring additional options to travelers at GTR,” says Cody Thomas, SkyWest Airlines’ Managing Director of Market Development. “The increased access and connections available from American’s DFW hub will make it better than ever to fly from the Golden Triangle Regional Airport.”
GTR Airport has always offered passengers the ease of flying locally instead of making a long drive to another airport, and flights have now become even more convenient. Flights to DFW and beyond are available for purchase now at aa.com or through American’s mobile app.
