Sioux Falls Regional Airport / Joe Foss Field (FSD)

Sioux Falls Regional Airport (FSD), also known as Joe Foss Field, is the busiest commercial airport in South Dakota, serving the growing metropolitan area of Sioux Falls and the surrounding tri-state region. The airport has seen significant infrastructure investment recently, including the completion of a new $63 million four-level parking structure in October 2024. This facility adds nearly 1,000 parking spaces and features a direct skyway connection from the second level to the main passenger terminal, greatly improving convenience for travelers during the harsh South Dakota winters.

The terminal building is currently undergoing a major 70,000-square-foot concourse expansion project, which broke ground in 2025 and is scheduled for completion by early 2027. This expansion will add five new gates, bringing the total to twelve, and features larger hold rooms with modern passenger boarding bridges. Amenities within the terminal include upgraded concessions, expanded restroom facilities with adult changing stations, a dedicated mother's room, and a new children's play area. The facility also offers free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout and a variety of dining options serving local favorites and international refreshments.

Commercial services at FSD are provided by major carriers including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines, along with low-cost operators Allegiant Air and Frontier Airlines. These carriers offer frequent non-stop links to major hubs such as Minneapolis (MSP), Chicago (ORD), Denver (DEN), and Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW). Ground transportation is well-served by a dedicated taxi rank, ride-sharing pickup zones, and several car rental agencies located directly within the terminal building. The airport is situated just three miles north of downtown Sioux Falls, and travelers are advised to allow extra time for check-in and security during the peak morning flight banks.
