History: Boise's first municipal airport was built in 1926 on a grave bed beside the Boise River where State University is located today. A great moment in local air history came on September 4, 1927 when Charles A. Lindbergh landed his "Spirit of St. Louis" in Boise. Boise bought and leased land for the present airport in 1936-38. Its 8,800 foot runway was the nation's longest at that time.
Boise Airport serves as the primary commercial service airport in southwestern Idaho, but its service area (with a population in excess of 500,000) extends well into eastern Oregon.
Airlines: Southwest, Horizon Air, United, Delta, Skywest, Northwest, America West, Big Sky, American Eagle, and Frontier.
