Missoula Montana Airport

The Missoula Montana Airport on Thursday officially announced year-round service to Chicago/O'hare on American Airlines, expanding the airport's reach further east and ending months of speculation.

The summer travel season is set to begin at Missoula Montana Airport in May, and passengers looking to board a flight will need to have a Real ID.

With the second phase of the terminal project set to open in the coming months, Missoula Montana Airport has secured the vending contracts needed to serve future passengers.

With a record-breaking year of passenger growth in hand, Missoula Montana Airport is now looking at another dynamic year fueled by expanded service and a growing facility.

By the end of the year, Missoula Montana Airport expects to log its one-millionth passenger and it's working with TSA to ensure the individual is identified in recognition of the milestone.

For the first time ever, Missoula Montana Airport could log 1 million passengers by the end of the year, smashing through the old record set in 2019 before the pandemic.

In order to pour 54,000 tons of asphalt in a runway repaving project, Missoula Montana Airport will close its airfield to all flights for 127 hours next fall.

The new program, which launched on Monday, enables non-ticketed guests to venture past the security checkpoint – something that once was commonplace but ended after 9/11 more than two decades ago.

As Missoula Montana Airport navigates a record summer, it's also welcoming $3.4 million in additional federal funding to close out one of its major projects.

Passenger numbers continued to climb in July and the airport is lobbying for more capacity at its security check point, along with year-round service to Chicago.
