Contour Airlines is expanding service at an airport in northern Missouri.
Starting Aug. 1, the independent regional carrier will connect Kirksville, Missouri, with Dallas/Fort Worth. Flights will operate five times per week using a 30-seat regional jet.
Flights to Kirksville will operate on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, while the return service to Dallas will run on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Contour currently connects Kirksville with Chicago O’Hare, with daily flights.
“This new route significantly expands travel opportunities for residents and businesses throughout the region by connecting Kirksville to one of the largest and most connected airports in the world,” Contour President Ben Munson said in a news release. “Combined with our continued daily Chicago O’Hare service, travelers now have even greater flexibility and access to destinations nationwide.”
Contour operates primarily in the South, Midwest, and Southwest, as well as the Caribbean. From Dallas/Fort Worth, it serves Fort Leonard Wood and Cape Girardeau in Missouri; Tupelo, Mississippi; and El Dorado, Arkansas.
