Bert Mooney Airport (IATA: BTM, ICAO: KBTM, FAA LID: BTM) is a public airport three miles southeast of Butte, in Silver Bow County, Montana, United States. It is owned by the Bert Mooney Airport Authority.[1]

The airport name was changed in 1972 to honor Bert Mooney, an aviator from Butte who was the first to fly mail into Yellowstone National Park in 1935. Prior to this the airport was Butte Municipal Airport (from its opening in 1926) and Silver Bow County Airport from 1960 to 1972.

The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a primary commercial service facility (more than 10,000 enplanements per year).[2] Federal Aviation Administration records say the airport had 30,431 passenger boardings (enplanements) in 2008,[3] 25,178 in 2009 and 25,433 in 2010.[4]
