Missoula airport trying to attract direct flight service to Texas cities

A coalition of tourism and business groups in Missoula has launched a new effort to attract more direct flight options to the Missoula International Airport, a move it says would boost the economy and lower fares.

Destination Missoula, the Missoula Tourism Business Improvement District, the Missoula Economic Partnership and others call the campaign "Take Flight Missoula," and the goal is to raise at least $400,000 and as much as $600,000 to match a Small Community Air Service Grant won by the airport last year.
