Direct flights to Dallas, Chicago coming to Missoula – Daily non-stop flight to Chicago starts June 7 in Great Falls

American Airlines will begin daily direct flights to Dallas and seasonal direct daily flights to Chicago from Missoula in June, the Missoula International Airport announced Monday.

Both flights will begin June 7, with customers already able to book tickets, airport director Cris Jensen said. The Chicago flight will run through Aug. 20.

"I think in terms of air services it’s a big step for the community," Jensen said.

A spokesperson for Sen. Jon Tester, who said the senator had pushed for a $600,000 federal grant to help fund the revenue guarantee, said the new direct flights will be a benefit to the economy of the Missoula area and by extension, the state.
