In 1978, the airline industry was deregulated and many of the airlines went to a different method of doing business. Most established a routing method using a "hub and spoke" strategy, using key cities as hubs where all the flights converged from the smaller airports or the spokes. This method allows customers to reach the widest possible choice of destinations with only one transfer and utilizes the airline's equipment in a more productive way. On a given day, several hundred people want or need to fly out of Billings, however, only a few may actually want to go to your destination choice of San Diego. Imagine the number of planes that would need to be flown into and out of Billings if each was a nonstop flight to all of the major cities in our country. Using the hub and spoke method the airlines can load one plane with Billings residents who are going to many destinations and fly them to a hub city where they can all transfer to a new plane going to the destination of their choice together with other people from other cities who have been flown to that same hub to also go to the city of their choice.Airport

Southwest Airlines is one of the few airlines that does not use a hub and spoke strategy. They in fact offer point-to-point service in larger urban markets. Since Southwest is a point-to-point carrier, the location of the airports that they provide service out of is very critical to them. Typically they will not even consider a location unless the airport is doing well in excess of 1,000,000 passenger boardings per year. Southwest does not have any interest in coming here in the foreseeable future. Simply stated, our market is not quite large enough.

Drones, also known as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are regulated by the FAA. To operate a drone within a 5 mile radius of the airport, you must comply with FAA regulations and contact the Billings Air Traffic Control Tower.Airport

Since 1975, no tax dollars have been used to help operate the Airport. Billings Logan International Airport is supported completely by user fees. This means those who utilize the Airport help to pay for the Airport's operational costs. Any business that operates on Airport property has some form of agreement with the City's Aviation and Transit Department to remit a rental charge or fee to the Airport. Hence, those who purchase airline tickets, rent cars, park at the Airport, eat or drink in the restaurant, or purchase a gift at the Airport are in a small way helping to contribute to the operation of the Airport. It is the fairest way possible. Those who use the facility help pay for it; others do not.Airport
