Glacier International Airport Expansion Will Continue This Summer, Officials Say
The airport serving the Flathead Valley and Glacier National Park will gain 125,000 square feet, adding additional gates and space for baggage handling areas, TSA staff and passengers.
The $100 million project was slated to begin last year, but was postponed after air travel plummeted in the early days of the pandemic. Airport officials say air travel to the Flathead Valley is expected to surge this summer with roughly 80,000 more available seats on flights, compared to the airport’s record-breaking season in 2019.
