Glasgow Airport (U.S.)
Glasgow Airport (IATA: GGW, ICAO: KGGW, TC LID: GGW), also known as Wokal Field/Glasgow International Airport, is a public use airport located one nautical mile (2 km) northeast of the central business district of Glasgow, a city in Valley County, Montana, United States. It is owned by the city and county. The airport is served by one commercial airline, subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.
As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 343 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008, 1,156 enplanements in 2009, and 1,630 in 2010. It is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015, which categorized it as a general aviation airport (the commercial service category requires at least 2,500 enplanements per year).
Scheduled air service temporarily ceased on March 8, 2008, when Big Sky Airlines ended operations in bankruptcy. Great Lakes Airlines was given USDOT approval to take over Essential Air Service (EAS) and flights began in 2009. Service is currently provided under EAS contract by Silver Airways (formerly Gulfstream International Airlines).

Famous quotes containing the words glasgow and/or airport:
“When this immediate evil power has been defeated, we shall not yet have won the long battle with the elemental barbarities. Another Hitler, it may be an invisible adversary, will attempt, again, and yet again, to destroy our frail civilization. Is it true, I wonder, that the only way to escape a war is to be in it? When one is a part of an actuality does the imagination find a release?”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
