Laurel Airport is the busiest non-commercial, general aviation airport in Eastern Montana. Currently over 100 aircraft are based in Laurel. The expansion has begun to rebuild the entire facility.

The new runway won the 2001 Quality in Construction Award for excellence in construction of an asphalt surface from the National Asphalt Pavement Association. The new construction allows service of 100% of the general aviation fleet of the B2 Class (planes up to 12,500 pounds, wing spans up to 79' with 10 or fewer passengers). The project includes the addition of a new ramp and a parallel taxiway as well as the 2002 summer completion of new taxi lanes and hanger areas. In 2004 the airport purchased a new snow plow to keep the facilities prepared for year around access.

For training purposes, try the shorter, narrower, uphill, downhill, over-a-tree runway with minimum traffic! The training course provides lots of take-off/landings per hour - a great way to sharpen the flying skills. For those who prefer sod, the sod runway will meet the need.

For the outdoor enthusiast, camping facilities are available on the airport grounds. Local motel and rental car accommodations are also available.
