Flights to Boise
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Boise is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field (BOI), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 10,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field | BOI | 6 km (4 mi) | 10,000 ft | 2,871 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,000 ft, BOI can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 2,871 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
