In the 1990s and early-mid-2000s Joplin had flights to St. Louis, Missouri by RegionsAir ("AmericanConnection") and to Memphis, Tennessee by Mesaba Airlines and Pinnacle Airlines ("Northwest Airlink").

Air Midwest commenced service to Kansas City International Airport on August 1, 2006 (operating as US Airways Express) The airline also started flying to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on October 5, 2006 (operating as Mesa Airlines).

In 2007 Great Lakes Airlines began EAS-subsidised service to Kansas City International Airport after the end of commercial service by Mesa Airlines. The airline flew under its own certificate, but flights were code-shares with United Airlines. Air Midwest ended service to Joplin in 2009. Great Lakes Airlines ended service on February 10, 2011, the day before American Eagle Airlines began daily service between Dallas/Fort Worth and Joplin.

On February 11, 2011, American Airlines, operated by American Eagle as Executive Airlines began service between Joplin and Dallas/Fort Worth.
