March 29, 2024/

Missoula airport officials expect demand to nearly double over the next two decades. That forecast is part of an update to the airport’s long-term plan to meet projected passenger needs.

Airport officials’ projections suggest Missoula could serve 1.5 million passengers annually by 2044, driven by factors including increasing population.

Airport Director Brian Ellestad described the planning process to handle projected growth at a press conference this week.
