Flying Private to Yellowstone? How to Get Around Bozeman, Big Sky, and West Yellowstone

If you’re flying your private plane to explore Yellowstone National Park and Montana’s stunning mountain towns, you’ll want to know the best ways to get in and around the region once you land. Whether your destination is Bozeman, Big Sky, or West Yellowstone, Old Faithful and Friends Tours & Shuttles can make your trip seamless from runway to geyser.

Where to Land Your Private Plane

Montana offers several airports that accommodate private aircraft, giving you flexibility based on your itinerary:

• Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) – The largest and most convenient for year-round access to Bozeman, Big Sky, and Yellowstone’s north and west entrances. FBO services are available at Yellowstone Jet Center.

• Ennis Big Sky Airport (EKS) – Perfect if your main destination is Big Sky or the Madison Valley, with easy road access to Yellowstone’s west entrance.

• West Yellowstone Airport (WYS) – Open seasonally (typically May–October), just minutes from Yellowstone’s West Entrance. A fantastic choice for summer park visits.

• Livingston Airport (LVM) – Great for accessing the north entrance at Gardiner, especially if you plan to explore Mammoth Hot Springs first.

Getting from the Runway to Your Adventure

Once your wheels are on the ground, getting around the Yellowstone region can be tricky without a plan. Roads between towns and inside Yellowstone can be long, winding, and—depending on the season—snow-covered. That’s where Old Faithful and Friends Tours & Shuttles comes in.

We offer private ground transportation, custom sightseeing tours, and point-to-point shuttles tailored to your schedule, so you can focus on enjoying the trip instead of navigating it.
