KBIL by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for BIL in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from BIL's own airspace.
KBIL reported VFR in 91% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 318 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and February the least, with IFR or worse 9% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 3% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 3%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 25 had the best headwind 47% of the time, runway 07 24%, and winds were calm 8% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 62 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KBIL was IFR or worse 8% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
BIL departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 87% of the time across 4,763 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (94%) and 3 to 6 PM did worst (69%).
Thunderstorms were reported on about 38 days a year. 75% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 2% of the time.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
