34 AVIATION VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 3, ISSUE 2 L A I RPORT www.martelconstruction.com “A lot is going on and we work with the community and the county to make sure it benefits everyone,” Sprenger explains, “primarily those entities up on the mountain and also our local chamber of commerce as well as our tourism entities such as Yellowstone Country and the Convention and Visitors Bureau to help develop air service into and out of the airport. We have a great air service team that has been successful for over a decade plus attracting unparalleled air service into the region.” “Our two flight schools are world-class and have made such a difference, Ridgeline Aviation, and Summit Aviation have been involved in the airport for over a decade. They were instrumental in us constructing a parallel runway here at the airport to allow for increased flight school traffic. That runway is still one of the most recent full runways built in the United States. Summit Aviation is affiliated with the Gallatin College Program - and we are fortunate that we have the opportunity to train tomorrow’s pilots here at BZN.”
