A new Airport Master Plan update is currently underway, having officially launched in 2025, to guide the future development and growth of the airport in alignment with evolving aviation needs and community priorities.
The Airport Master Plan is a comprehensive, long-term planning document that guides the future development of an airport. It is designed to ensure that the airport can meet future aviation demand while remaining safe, efficient and environmentally responsible. The plan typically includes forecasts of future air traffic, an assessment of existing facilities, and a detailed layout plan for proposed improvements to runways, taxiways, terminals and other infrastructure. It also addresses land use, environmental considerations, financial planning and community engagement. Airport Master Plans are developed in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and are updated periodically to reflect changing needs and priorities.
As part of the Airport Master Plan process, stakeholder engagement will include technical advisory and working group consultations, along with three public meetings scheduled later in the study; these public open houses are an opportunity to keep key stakeholders and the public informed and to gather valuable feedback on the plan’s progress.
The FAA recommends master plan updates every five years, or as necessary to keep them current. The Boise Airport's previous master plan update was published in 2020.
