What do the colors mean?
The white arrow on the runway points the way the traffic is going. Derived from the positions of aircraft flying low near the airport right now. Not an official runway plan; what we see.
Designation, direction and length of every runway. These rarely change; which one is in use right now shows up here whenever we observe traffic.
2 runways · Longest runway: 10,000 ft
We currently see no traffic on approach or just after takeoff. That happens at a quiet airport or in the middle of the night.

Transport by bus and taxi; parking at the airport; picking someone up or dropping them off.
Fly direct
The destinations we know the most flight numbers for. That approximates how heavily a route is served; it is not a passenger count.
Other airports within reach, with the straight-line distance and the number of direct destinations we know of. Airports without scheduled service are left out.

Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field is a dual name for a single airport: the one travelers know as BOI airport in Boise, United States. BOI is its three-letter IATA code, the form used on tickets and in airline apps; KBOI is the four-letter ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control. It is classified as a large airport with an average traffic level, and it sits at 43.5644 north, 116.223 west. The live radar on this page shows the aircraft arriving at and departing from BOI right now, and the arrivals and departures pages linked above it are the quickest way to check a specific flight. The sections below add context neither of them shows: our own 30-day measurement of traffic at the airport, the airlines that appeared in it, and the nearest alternative airports in our data.
The traffic picture on this page comes from our own reception-based measurement, which logged aircraft near Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field over a 30-day period. Across that window, our receivers recorded an average of 5.7 aircraft observations per day near BOI. That figure reflects what our equipment picked up, not the airport's complete schedule. It sits in our data next to the airport's average traffic level, and the two are separate entries: one is a class, the other a count. The busiest window in the same 30 days fell between 03:00 and 05:00 on our measurement clock, which runs in UTC rather than local Boise time, so convert it to your own time zone before lining it up with a planned departure or arrival.
Three airlines showed up in the carrier breakdown of our 30-day sample at BOI. Southwest Airlines was the one our receivers logged most often, with 23 observations in 30 days, well ahead of the other two. Alaska Airlines followed with 11 over the same period, and Delta Air Lines completed the group with 9. All three counts come from the reception data described above.
If BOI does not work for a given trip, the nearest alternatives in our data all sit well outside the city. McCall Municipal Airport is the closest at 148 km from BOI, Friedman Memorial Airport follows at 155 km, and Joslin Field Magic Valley Regional Airport is the third and most distant at 185 km. All three distances are the figures our database holds for Boise's neighbors, and each of the three has its own page on this site, linked above. For flights elsewhere in the country, the airport overview is the starting point on this site.
