Glacier Park International Airport (IATA: FCA, ICAO: KGPI, FAA LID: GPI) is a public airport serving Flathead County, Montana in the United States. It located six miles (10 km) northeast of the central business district of Kalispell and also serves the towns of Evergreen, Columbia Falls, and Whitefish as well as Glacier National Park. The airport is owned and operated by the Flathead Municipal Airport Authority, an independent public agency created by Flathead County in 1974.

The airport's former ICAO code was KFCA, and most air carriers still use that code for reservations purposes. Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Glacier Park International Airport is assigned GPI by the FAA and FCA by the IATA (which assigned GPI to Guapi Airport in Guapi, Colombia).

History

The airport was originally built in 1942 under the name Flathead County Airport. For many years, passenger traffic remained fairly low. In 1970, the airport was designated for international traffic and changed to the current name. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, traffic picked up substantially, as Hughes Airwest, Western Airlines and Horizon Air offered flights. The terminal was upgraded in 1981, and further major upgrades to the terminal, runways and other facilities occurred throughout the 1990s. Between 1974 and 1998, the passenger traffic increased more than fivefold. [1] Service to Phoenix, Arizona on America West/US Air was suspended in 2007.

Facilities and aircraft

Glacier Park International Airport covers an area of 1,505 acres (609 ha) which contains two asphalt paved runways: 2/20 measuring 9,006 x 150 ft (2,745 x 46 m) and 12/30 measuring 3,504 x 75 ft (1,068 x 23 m).

For the 12-month period ending January 1, 2007, the airport had 51,925 aircraft operations, an average of 142 per day: 70% general aviation, 21% air taxi, 8% scheduled commercial and 1% military. At that time there were 159 aircraft based at this airport: 78% single-engine, 16% multi-engine and 3% jet and 3% helicopter.
