Lewistown Municipal Airport (IATA: LWT, ICAO: KLWT, FAA LID: LWT) is a public-use airport located two nautical miles (3.7 km) southwest of the central business district of Lewistown, a city in Fergus County, Montana, United States. It is owned by the City of Lewistown and Fergus County. This airport is included in the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, which categorized it as a general aviation facility. It is also designated to receive commercial service subsidized by the federal Essential Air Service (EAS) program.
Scheduled air service at Lewistown ended on March 8, 2008, when Big Sky Airlines (the designated EAS operator) ceased operation. Great Lakes Airlines has been given USDOT approval to take over EAS service between Lewistown and Denver, Colorado. History
Lewiston Army Airfield was constructed during 1942 as one of four training facilities for B-17 Flying Fortress crew members and included a storage site for the top secret Norden Bombsight.
With construction complete, Lewistown was built as a satellite field for Great Falls Army Air Base. Squadrons were trained in the navigation of the B-17 in addition to receiving gunnery and bombing practice. Once their training was complete, the men were sent to the European front.
The airfield was in operation during a 12-month period between 1942 and 1943 and thereafter deactivated. The field was declared surplus in 1948 and has served the local community as a municipal airport ever since.
