## Description

Helena Regional Airport (IATA: HLN, ICAO: KHLN) is Montana's capital-city airport, handling roughly 201,800 passengers in 2024 (up 13%) but no dedicated air cargo. Alaska, Delta and United operate five daily departures to Seattle, Salt Lake City and Denver, with just over 136,000 outbound seats scheduled for 2026. A $12.1 million terminal expansion — seating for 500, a cafe and new jet bridges — has been completed, and the master plan adds two gates, concourse space and baggage claim capacity across the 1,400-acre site. The Montana Army National Guard's aviation battalion is based here with Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters, and military airlifters such as the C-17 or C-130 call occasionally. Civilian freight is limited to express parcel feeders: no cargo terminal, no foreign-trade zone. Palletised or bonded shipments move through Billings (IATA: BIL) and Foreign-Trade Zone 88 at Great Falls, or south via Salt Lake City (FTZ 30), with road feeder service running Interstate 15 and Interstate 90.
