Montana Airport Will See New Flight From United Airlines

We could see more airlines add flights across Montana soon.

Small Montana Airports

This news could be a game changer for many of Montana's airports.

We all know about Montana's main airports in Bozeman, Missoula, and Billings, but several small airports don't get enough love.

Montana is home to the smallest airport in America.

Several airports only operate one or two flights a day.

Even though the big airports in Montana get recognition, these small airports serve a crucial purpose.

These airports help surrounding communities have flights to major hubs across the West Coast.

One airport in Montana will see an airline return with an exciting new flight.

Butte Airport Welcomes Back United Airlines

The Points Guy reports United Airlines will return to Butte for the first time in two years.

Butte currently only has a flight from Butte to Salt Lake City operated by Delta Airlines.

United Airlines will operate a daily flight between Butte and Denver daily flight starting on January 3rd, 2025.

This announcement is massive for those in Butte and surrounding areas.

Locals won't have to travel to Helena or Bozeman to fly out of Montana to their destinations.

Why did United Airlines come back to Butte?

It's a game-changer.

Small Montana Airports Could See More Flights

The reason why United Airlines is reappearing in Butte is because of the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The Essential Air Service program offers subsidies for airlines to add flights to smaller markets to see how their flights fare.

Montana has many airports included in this program that could see more flights added in the future.

Airports like Helena, West Yellowstone, and more are listed as potential airports to see more airlines add flights.

Montana airports might be busy in 2025.
