BOZEMAN, MT (May 15, 2018). The Bozeman Yellowstone Int’l Airport will increase local air traffic control tower coverage at the airport by two additional hours beginning May 25, 2018. Effective on this date, the tower will be open from 5:00 a.m. until 1:00 a.m. daily. The Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Salt Lake Center will handle local traffic between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. The increased local control tower coverage was made possible by the Gallatin Airport Authority funding an additional full-time air traffic controller in addition to the tower controllers funded by the FAA. BZN continues to grow and with increased airline and general aviation operations, the Gallatin Airport Authority determined additional tower staffing was needed over and above the FAA approved staffing levels.
