Show notes
Arnie and Scott welcome back Missoula Montana Airport’s Director Brian Ellestad and Deputy Director Tim Damrow to the show. The conversation touches on the recent Air India disaster (taped on 6/12/25) and its impact on global aviation safety. Plus, we get the inside scoop on Phase 2 of the airport’s expansion, the increase in local air travel, potential new routes and airline partners, and what travelers can expect in the months and years ahead. It’s a fast-moving, info-packed hour for anyone interested in aviation, infrastructure, or the future of travel in Western Montana.
