Tupelo Regional Airport

Tupelo Regional Airport, opened in the mid-20th century (around the 1940s), is a small but important regional gateway for northeast Mississippi with a single terminal serving commercial, charter and general aviation traffic. Located a short 10–15 minute drive from downtown Tupelo and local attractions like the Elvis Presley Birthplace, the airport offers rental cars, taxis and rideshare access though public transit is limited. It’s generally considered an affordable option compared with larger hubs—parking and fees are low, though limited routes can affect fares—and hosts regional service from carriers such as American Eagle, while not operating as a major airline hub.
