Missoula airport gains small-hub status as growth continues

October 2, 2025/

When Missoula Montana Airport set a record-breaking year in 2024, it did more than shatter the previous passenger count – it also earned the airport small-hub status.

The FAA recently relisted the airport due to the passenger increase, said airport director Brian Ellestad.

“MSO jumped back into small hub status,” he said. “The major change for us is that our funding match becomes 10% instead of 5% to any federal grant we receive.”
