Boise Air Terminal (Gowen Field) is the same as Boise Airport. The name was given to us in the 1940s and is used by the FAA and airlines.

While we COULD be called 'International,' we have not amended the airport name at this time. In 2011, Boise Airport completed construction of our U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility. It serves to process passengers and cargo from outside the United States, providing BOI 'port city' status. However, without non-stop passenger flights to or from an international city, the 'International' moniker seems misleading.

Boise Airport is open 24/7/365. Ticket counters, the concourses, concessions, and car rental counters do have hours of operation. These services are often open at least an hour prior to the first departure. Parking facility and building entrances are open 24 hours a day, 7 days week, 365 days a year.

Confirm the counter hours with your airline or car rental company.

Each company does its own hiring. If you want to work for an airline, each airline hires its staff. The car rental companies, restaurants, news and gift shops, and parking also do their own hiring.
