Bozeman-Gallatin Field Airport is located in the city of Bozeman, Montana. It is owned and operated by the Gallatin Airport Authority. The airport has a long history of providing service to both commercial and general aviation users. The airport was first established in 1946, when the city of Bozeman purchased land to construct an airfield. At this time, the primary purpose of the airfield was to serve as a base for military operations during World War II.
In 1948, the airport began offering civilian services with the opening of a terminal building. This terminal building was designed to accommodate both general aviation and commercial services, and it still stands today as one of the oldest structures in use at Bozeman-Gallatin Field Airport. In 1955, an additional runway was added to better serve commercial airlines such as United Airlines and Northwest Orient Airlines, which were some of the first carriers to offer service at Bozeman-Gallatin Field Airport. In 1959, a new terminal building was built with more modern amenities such as jetways and baggage claim areas. Throughout its history, Bozeman-Gallatin Field Airport has continued to expand its facilities with expansion projects such as additional hangars and taxiways being added over time. Additionally, several airlines have come and gone from Bozeman-Gallatin Field Airport over the years including Frontier Airlines in 1999 and Allegiant Air in 2013. Today, there are four airlines that operate out of Bozeman-Gallatin Field Airport offering nonstop service to over 20 cities throughout North America including Denver International Airport (DEN), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO).
