Some other airports in Montana are smaller, like Butte, Great Falls, and Helena, but Big Sky Country has one airport considered the smallest in America.

Up in Northeast Montana, there is an airport with one airline that flies twice daily, and it's to Montana's largest city.

We are talking about the Dawson Community Airport in Glendive.

The Dawson Community Airport is a picture-perfect example of a small-town airport. It's close to town, has an open baggage claim, and you can get through TSA in less than a minute.

They only have one airline that operates out of the airport, Cape Air.

Cape Air is a small airline company that operates all over America and the Caribbean and focuses on short cheap flights.

You can fly from Glendive to the Billings Airport round trip for around $80.

This airport is important for many who live in Dawson County and the surrounding areas. Locals would have to drive hours to Great Falls or Billings to fly out of Montana.

It's great to see this small airport get recognition.
