In 1999, the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport served about 222,000 passengers and had service to four direct destinations: Seattle, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis and Butte.
Two decades later, the airport, known by the abbreviation BZN, flew more than 788,000 people to more than 20 â and now more â direct destinations, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Detroit. The airport also has a $26.5 million second concourse that almost doubled its physical size, more than 1,000 employees and the achievement of being Montanaâs busiest airport.
But none of that happened overnight, said Airport Director Brian Sprenger. It didnât even happen in the past decade.
