## Description

Bert Mooney Airport (IATA: BTM, ICAO: KBTM) carries the name of a pioneering Montana aviator, but Butte's fame rests underground: the Berkeley Pit, a flooded open-cast mine, marks the "Richest Hill on Earth" that once fed America's electrification with copper. That ore left by rail, not by air, and the pattern holds today — at roughly 5,550 feet, one of the highest commercial airports in the United States, Bert Mooney serves scheduled passengers (United Express to Denver, Delta Connection to Salt Lake City) and business aviation plus express parcels, with no freight terminal or foreign-trade zone. Weighty or bonded air cargo routes through Billings (BIL) and the Great Falls FTZ 88, or south via Salt Lake City (FTZ 30). Butte stays a mining and travel town on the Continental Divide rather than a freight point.
