[edit] History
In 2011, a new terminal expansion was opened, adding three new gates and more retail concessions. [3]
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.[4]
