Glacier Park International Airport (IATA: FCA, ICAO: KGPI, FAA LID: GPI) is a public airport serving Flathead County, Montana, in the United States. It located six miles (10 km) northeast of the central business district of Kalispell and also serves the towns of Evergreen, Columbia Falls, and Whitefish as well as Glacier National Park. The airport is owned and operated by the Flathead Municipal Airport Authority, an independent public agency created by Flathead County in 1974.
The airport's former ICAO code was KFCA, and most air carriers still use that code for reservations purposes. Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Glacier Park International Airport is assigned GPI by the FAA and FCA by the IATA (which assigned GPI to Guapi Airport in Guapi, Colombia).
