The average cost of an airline ticket out of Missoula International Airport has dropped nearly $40 over the past five years, a result of the city’s growing list of destinations and the presence of discount carriers.

According to the Bureau of Transportation Services, the average cost of a ticket out of Missoula in 2013 was $452 – one of the costliest among the state’s larger airports, behind only Kalispell and Helena, which had the highest average fares at $532.

But by 2016 and 2017, the average ticket price out of Missoula dropped substantially, making it the most affordable airport in the state. Helena remained the most expensive, the federal statistics suggest.

"We’ve added more competition to our market, and the more competition you have, the better your fares," said Brian Ellestad, deputy director of the Missoula airport.
