History
In 2011 a terminal expansion designed by Prugh & Lenon Architects opened, adding three gates and more retail concessions.[6] The firm designed expansions and renovations made in 1995 and 1997.[7]
Gallatin Field was renamed Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport in late 2011 to associate it with Yellowstone National Park.[8] International flights have been allowed since 2012, after a U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility opened on July 1. The project was funded in cooperation with Signature Flight Support and the Yellowstone Club. In 2013, BZN surpassed Billings as the busiest airport in Montana for passenger service with 879,221 passengers from June 2012 to May 2013.[6]
