<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - American Airlines announced it will add an additional flight departing from Columbia Regional Airport (COU) to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW). <br /><br />The new flight at Columbia Regional Airport will begin Wednesday, April 6, and will depart to DFW at 11:59 a.m. daily, which gives COU a total of five daily outbound flights - three to DFW and two to Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD). <br /><br />"Columbia Airport is undergoing a period of significant change and improvement," said Airport Manager Mike Parks. "We are excited to increase the number of flights to and from COU. The City of Columbia will continue to create an environment where businesses such as American Airlines can thrive and find success in this region." <br /><br />American Airlines' announcement comes as the City nears the completion of the new airport terminal at COU. <br /><br />The n
ew terminal will be larger and feature new amenities, such as several passenger boarding bridges, a restaurant, a mother's room, a sensory room and an interior Service Animal Relief Area (SARA). It is on schedule to open late summer 2022. <br /><br />Learn more about COU's new terminal at: <a href="https://www.flycou.com/columbia-regional-airport-terminal-project/">flycou.com/columbia-regional-airport-terminal-project/</a>.</div>
