Business News

Today, United Airlines announced new daily non-stop service to Columbia, Missouri, from Denver and Chicago.

The service from both international airports will begin on August 1. Missouri’s central location and globally connected infrastructure make the state a prime location for businesses to grow and expand. These new plans follow the new Airport Advisory Board’s agenda to expand flights and bring more business to Columbia.

United’s news comes after the recent announcement by American Airlines that it would begin using larger Bombardier CRJ900 airplanes for its Columbia flights to and from Dallas/Fort Worth.

For more information on why Missouri could be a prime location for your next business expansion, contact Steve Johnson, CEO of Missouri Partnership, at 314.725.2688 or via our contact form, with any questions you might have, and learn how Missouri Partnership can help with your business expansion and investment needs.
