About This Airport
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. Sitting about three miles southeast of town at 5,550 feet, one of the highest commercial airports in the United States, the field works a 9,000 by 150 foot main runway, with runway 12/30 restricted to aircraft of 12,500 pounds or less. Run by the Bert Mooney Airport Authority of Butte-Silver Bow, it recorded 32,501 passenger boardings in 2023 and is served by United Express to Denver and Delta Connection to Salt Lake City, alongside business aviation and express parcels; there is no freight terminal and no foreign-trade zone, and the altitude further limits payload on larger aircraft. Weighty or bonded air cargo routes through Billings (BIL) and the Great Falls FTZ 88, or south via Salt Lake City (FTZ 30) — trucking that is straightforward given the Interstate 15 and Interstate 90 junction at Butte. The town stays a mining and travel stop on the Continental Divide rather than a freight point.
