Travel Information The Brookings Airport has commercial airline commuter service from Minneapolis operated by the G P Express Airline Company, (605) 692-6818. Flights directly into Brookings are easy to obtain, but they must connect through Minneapolis. If this is not convenient, commercial air service to Sioux Falls, South Dakota is recommended. Conveyance Vans operates a shuttle service that runs between Sioux Falls and Brookings with 'door-to-door' service. The shuttle service runs according to passengers' flight schedules. Conveyance Vans can be reached at (605) 692-2236. Cars can also be rented at the Sioux Falls airport. Flying into Brookings via Minneapolis is usually more economical than flying into Sioux Falls and driving to Brookings by car if your point of origin is southeast of Brookings.
