Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 27, 2025
Closure Date

This airport is not closed. Bowman Municipal Airport (ICAO: KBOW, FAA LID: BWM) is an active and operational public-use airport. The 'closed' status associated with the identifier 'US-11515' appears to be an error in a non-official, third-party database.

Reason for Closure

Not applicable, as the airport has not been closed. It remains a vital piece of infrastructure for Bowman County and the surrounding region.

Current Status

The site is an active public airport owned by the Bowman County Airport Authority. It is known as Bowman Municipal Airport (KBOW/BWM). It features a single asphalt runway (13/31) measuring 4,800 by 75 feet. The airport provides essential services including aircraft fueling (100LL and Jet A), hangars for aircraft storage, and a terminal building. It primarily handles general aviation, agricultural, and air medical service traffic.

Historical Significance

Bowman Municipal Airport has served as a key general aviation hub for southwestern North Dakota for decades. Its primary role has been to support the local agricultural economy through aerial application services (crop dusting), provide a base for critical air ambulance and medical evacuation flights, and facilitate business and recreational travel. The airport has undergone significant upgrades, including a major runway reconstruction project completed around 2013, underscoring its ongoing importance to the community and the state's commitment to its operation.

Reopening Prospects

Not applicable, as the airport never closed and remains fully operational.
