Bert Mooney (BTM) Airport Limo Service

Stretch Limo Service to and from Bert Mooney (BTM) Airport

A flight into Butte usually comes with a plan waiting on the other side of the terminal doors: a site walk at Montana Resources, a wedding on a ranch in the Big Hole Valley, a conference at the Copper King, or a long awaited soak at Fairmont Hot Springs. Our Bert Mooney (BTM) Airport limo service takes care of the stretch between the jet bridge and that plan. A licensed chauffeur meets you inside the terminal, handles your bags, and drives you wherever Montana, MT takes you next. This page belongs to our wider Montana airport limo service coverage, and it explains how BTM pickups and drop offs work, what the fleet looks like, and what to expect at the airport itself.

Why Butte Flyers Book Union Limousine for BTM Transfers?

Bert Mooney is a small airport with a very large catchment. Two daily departures feed Salt Lake City and Denver, and the people stepping off those SkyWest jets are heading to mines, hospitals, campuses, hunting camps, and hot springs scattered across southwest Montana. Union Limousine treats each of those trips the same way: a confirmed vehicle, a named chauffeur, live flight tracking, and a price agreed before you leave home.

Flight Tracked Greetings Inside the Terminal

Your chauffeur watches the inbound SkyWest flight from the moment it pushes back in Denver or Salt Lake City. If the jet is held for weather over the Rockies, the pickup time moves with it at no cost to you. On arrival you will find a name sign in the baggage claim area, which at Butte sits a few steps from the gate, so most guests are seated in the vehicle within ten minutes of the wheels touching down.

One Price, Settled in Advance

Every quote covers the vehicle, the chauffeur, fuel, airport fees, and waiting time tied to a delayed flight. Montana has no toll roads, so there are no surprise additions on the way to Anaconda, Helena, or Bozeman. Winter does not change the rate either; a January transfer across Homestake Pass costs what the quote said in October.

Chauffeurs Who Know the Hill

Butte is built on a steep hillside with narrow one way streets Uptown, a long commercial strip on Harrison Avenue, and two interstates meeting on the Flats. Our chauffeurs drive these roads every week. They know which Uptown hotels have loading zones, how early to leave for an evening flight when the Continental Divide is icing, and where the plows go first after a storm.

One Reservation for the Entire Stay

Many Butte visitors need a car for the whole stay, well beyond the airport run. You can pair your BTM transfer with hourly service for meetings, a day trip to Georgetown Lake, or a late night return from a concert at the Civic Center. One dispatcher, one invoice, one point of contact for every leg.

Our BTM Fleet: Capacity and Best Uses

Union Limousine keeps a mixed fleet so that a single traveler and a fifty person reunion can both ride in comfort from Bert Mooney. Every vehicle is cleaned between trips, equipped for Montana winters, and driven by a chauffeur who has cleared background and driving record checks.

Sedans (Up to 3 Passengers)

Executive sedans suit the business traveler flying in for a day at NorthWestern Energy, Montana Tech, or St. James Healthcare. Expect a quiet cabin, bottled water, phone chargers, and trunk space for two large cases plus carry ons.

SUVs (Up to 6 Passengers)

Stretch Limousines (Up to 20 Passengers)

• Best for: festival weekends, bachelorette groups, team celebrations
• Luggage: under seat storage and rear compartments

• Luggage: fifty six bags in the under floor compartments
• Typical runs: BTM to Bozeman, Helena, Big Sky, Yellowstone gateway towns

Where We Drive From Bert Mooney Airport?

Butte, Uptown and the Flats

The airport sits on the south edge of town beside Harrison Avenue, which means the Flats hotels are five minutes away and Uptown is ten. Our Montana limo service covers the Copper King Hotel and Convention Center, the Finlen, the Miner's Boutique Hotel, St. James Healthcare, the Butte Civic Center, Montana Tech on West Park Street, and every residential neighborhood from Walkerville down to the race track district.

Anaconda, Deer Lodge and the Pintler Country

Anaconda is a thirty minute run west on Interstate 90, and it draws golfers to the Old Works course, families to Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, and winter guests to Discovery Ski Area above Georgetown Lake. Philipsburg's sapphire shops and the Grant Kohrs Ranch in Deer Lodge are both easy day trips that start with a pickup at Bert Mooney.

Bozeman, Helena, Dillon and Longer Runs

Butte's position at the junction of Interstate 15 and Interstate 90 makes BTM a sensible arrival point for the whole southwest corner of the state. Helena is a little over an hour north, Bozeman about ninety minutes east, Dillon an hour south, and Missoula two hours northwest. Our Montana chauffeur service handles these intercity runs daily, including connections to Bozeman Yellowstone International when a traveler's return flight leaves from there.

Groups, Crews and Conferences

Mining and energy companies, Montana Tech, the hospital system, and regional event planners all move groups through Butte. Our Montana airport charter bus service coordinates arrivals across several flights, staging buses at the terminal curb so that a crew landing from Denver and a second group landing from Salt Lake City depart together.

Bert Mooney (BTM) Airport: What Travelers Should Know

Bert Mooney Airport is owned and operated by the Bert Mooney Airport Authority and sits at 101 Airport Rd, Butte, MT 59701, about three miles southeast of Uptown. The airport office answers at +1 406 494 3771, and the official site is butteairport.com. At roughly 5,550 feet above sea level, it is one of the higher commercial airfields in the Northwest, something pilots and travelers both notice on warm summer afternoons.

A Brief History of Butte's Airport

Aviation in Butte dates to the late 1920s, when the city opened a municipal field to carry mail and passengers in and out of what was then one of the richest mining districts on earth. The field became Silver Bow County Airport in 1956 and took its current name in 1972 to honor Albert "Bert" Mooney, a Butte aviator who in 1935 made the first airmail flight into Yellowstone National Park. A chalet style terminal served travelers from 1962 until 2018, when a 40,633 square foot replacement opened with a headframe inspired entrance and reclaimed timber that nod to the Butte Anaconda National Historic Landmark district a few miles up the hill. A new passenger boarding bridge followed in January 2025.

Airlines Serving BTM

Two carriers hold the schedule at Butte, both flown by SkyWest regional jets. Delta Connection links the city to Salt Lake City, and United Express connects to Denver. The Denver service had been suspended during the regional pilot shortage and returned in January 2025, restoring Butte's second hub connection.

Nonstop Destinations

Salt Lake City and Denver are the two nonstop markets, and between them they open one stop access to nearly every major city in the country. Over the twelve months ending April 2026, Denver carried about 13,000 local passengers and Salt Lake City about 10,400, with roughly two scheduled departures a day in each direction.

Terminal Layout and Amenities

Everything happens inside a single terminal. Ticket counters, the TSA checkpoint, the gate, and baggage claim are all within a short walk of one another, and bags come off the aircraft almost directly to the claim area. Travelers will find the Ore Cart Restaurant, complimentary wireless internet, rental car counters, and plenty of seating with views of the East Ridge.

Security and Boarding

The checkpoint opens ahead of each departure and lines are short, yet the airport still recommends arriving at least ninety minutes before a flight because both daily departures tend to fill and rebooking options are limited.

Passenger Traffic

Butte is a nonhub primary airport, which means it records above 10,000 boardings a year. State transportation records counted 32,501 enplanements in 2023, and Montana Aeronautics Division year end figures showed BTM as the fastest growing airport in the state for 2025, helped by the return of the Denver flight and steady private aviation activity.

Parking at BTM

Parking at Bert Mooney is free, and the lot sits directly in front of the terminal. Additional overflow and rental car parking occupies the footprint of the old 1962 terminal, which was demolished after the new building opened. Travelers leaving a vehicle for a week should plan for snow on the windshield in winter and expect to scrape before heading home.

Pick Up and Drop Off Guidance

The curb outside the terminal handles both arrivals and departures. Vehicles may stop briefly to load or unload and then move on. Our chauffeurs pull into the short term area, meet guests inside at baggage claim, and bring the vehicle to the curb once the bags are in hand, which means nobody waits outside in a January wind. For departures, tell us your airline and flight time and we will set a pickup that puts you at the counter with time to spare.

Ground Transportation Options

Rental Cars

Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Enterprise all operate at the airport, with counters inside the terminal and cars parked a short walk away. Fleets are small, so summer and holiday reservations should be made well in advance.

Taxis and Rideshare

Two local taxi companies serve Butte, and Uber operates in the city, though driver availability around the two daily arrivals is thin. A ride from the airport to downtown typically runs around twenty dollars when a car is available.

Public Transit and Intercity Buses

Butte Silver Bow Transit runs fare free fixed routes on weekdays and Saturdays, and the Harrison Avenue line is the one that reaches the airport side of town, though it does not run on Sundays or holidays and is not practical with luggage. Jefferson Lines and Salt Lake Express intercity coaches stop at the Butte Transit Center Uptown for travelers continuing to Missoula, Bozeman, Idaho Falls, or Salt Lake City by road.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

• Drink water on the flight in. Butte sits above 5,500 feet and the dry air catches many visitors on their first evening.
• Pack a coat in your carry on from October through May; the walk from the aircraft can be brisk even in a jet bridge.
• Cell coverage is good at the airport and in town but fades quickly in the Big Hole and Pintler valleys, so confirm pickups before you leave Butte.
• Visiting Montana Tech? The main campus is on West Park Street Uptown, about fifteen minutes from the terminal, and the Mineral Museum there is free to the public.
• History seekers should set aside a full morning for the World Museum of Mining on the Orphan Girl mine yard, open seasonally beside the Montana Tech campus.
• Summer travelers arriving on the evening flight will still have daylight until nine or later; winter arrivals should expect darkness by five.

Why a Prebooked Chauffeur Beats Taxis and Rideshare at BTM?

With only two inbound flights a day, Butte has no standing taxi rank and no guarantee that an app will find a driver when sixty passengers walk out at once. A reservation removes that gamble. The vehicle is assigned the day before, the chauffeur is tracking your flight, and the price was fixed when you booked.

Reliability When It Matters

A missed hospital appointment at St. James, a late arrival to a mine safety briefing, or a wedding party stranded at the curb carry real costs. A prebooked chauffeur also solves the return trip: the car is at your door at the agreed hour for the early morning departure, with no refreshing of an app in the dark.
