History [edit]
In 2011, a new terminal expansion designed by Prugh & Lenon Architects was opened, adding three new gates and more retail concessions.[6] The firm also designed previous expansions and renovations to the airport terminal made in 1995 and 1997[7]
Most recently Gallatin Field was renamed Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, in an attempt to encourage travellers to use the airfield for access to Yellowstone National Park. International flights will be permitted after the set-up of a new US Customs and Border Patrol facility, funded in cooperation with Signature Flight Support and the Yellowstone Club.[6]
