Private charter to & from Columbia

Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, the state’s flagship campus, along with Stephens College and Columbia College, and the university’s hospitals make the city the largest medical center in mid-Missouri. Insurance and financial services are also important, with Shelter Insurance and Veterans United Home Loans headquartered here. Mizzou’s School of Journalism, founded in 1908 as the first in the world, gives the city a media-savvy streak, and the True/False Film Fest has made Columbia a respected stop on the documentary circuit.

Columbia sits roughly halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis on I-70, a two-hour drive from either and a long trip from anywhere else. Columbia Regional Airport, south of town, lets alumni, recruiters, physicians and visiting faculty fly in directly and avoid the interstate traffic that builds on football weekends. With your own schedule, it is easy to pair a game or a campus visit with a ride on the Katy Trail, dinner in The District downtown or a glass of wine on the Missouri River bluffs at Rocheport.
