Stevensville Municipal Airport

The Stevensville Airport is located two miles northeast of the Town of Stevensville. It is Montana’s fastest growing general aviation airport. The airport consists of 117 acres of land owned by the town at an elevation of 3,610 feet above sea level. There is one paved runway that is 75 feet wide and 3,800 feet long. The Stevensville Airport Board operates the airport.  The Stevensville Airport was recently awarded a grant of nearly $2 million to resurface and widen the existing runway, add an automated weather tower, and make several other smaller improvements. 

Land use at the Stevensville Airport includes aircraft hangars and automobile parking. Construction of a terminal building has been discussed. Existing land around the airport is in agricultural and residential uses, both of which are generally compatible with the existing and proposed airport operations.

In 1989, the Town of Stevensville enacted the Airport Zoning Ordinance to limit the height of objects and address land use around the Stevensville Airport. The ordinance enables the town to identify and remove objects that penetrate the described airspace, or issue permits for non-conforming objects that may be marked and lighted.

Major private employers in and around the Stevensville airport include Specified Fittings, Bitterroot Tool and Machine, Aircraft Structural Repair and expansions are taking place.  The airport, with 85 based aircraft, experiences approximately 12,500 aircraft operations annually.
