Billings Logan International Airport

Billings Logan International Airport (KBIL) sits 2 miles north of downtown Billings, Montana. The field handles modest commercial service (Alaska, Delta, American, United, Allegiant, Frontier) and a meaningful flow of business aviation, particularly the Montana energy corporate community (ExxonMobil refining presence, Calumet) and the year-round Yellowstone tourism flow (Yellowstone's eastern entrance is 2 hours south via US-212). The two runways at KBIL (10R/28L 10,510 ft, 7/25 5,500 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. Edwards Jet Center is the principal FBO. Field elevation is 3,652 feet, with meaningful summer density-altitude considerations on hot Montana days (90°F+ pushes effective takeoff altitudes past 6,000 feet). The dominant operational considerations are Montana winter weather (heavy snow, severe cold, frequent deicing), occasional summer thunderstorms with hail risk, and the surrounding Rimrocks terrain that adds approach complexity. The structural summer Yellowstone peak (June–September) drives demand. Ground time to downtown Billings is 5–10 minutes; Yellowstone's east entrance is 120 minutes via US-212; the surrounding ranch country is 15–60 minutes.
