Template:Orphan=November 2009

Mountain West Airlines-Idaho (IATA: FX) was a short-lived commuter airline based in Boise, Idaho. Its first flight was on January 29, 1979[1] with its flights continuing until the service termination on March 5, 1981.[2] Its last published timetable was February 14, 1981.

It operated Embraer EMB 110 Bandeirantes and occasionally Piper PA-31 Navajos.

Cities served at various times were: Boise, Pocatello; Twin Falls, Idaho; Idaho Falls; Sun Valley, Idaho; Lewiston, Idaho and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Reno, Nevada; Salt Lake City, Utah; Rock Springs, Wyoming and Butte, Montana.

It was flying during the time many independent small commuter airlines were flying throughout the US. In Idaho, its main competitors were Gem State Airlines, Cascade Airways, and to a lesser extent Hughes Airwest/Republic Airlines.

Services to Lewiston and Coeur d'Alene were undertaken (from Dec 1980) after Gem State had abandoned their Idaho services and relocated to California. Service to Butte (from Dec 1980), was started after Cascade Airways had discontinued the route.

Its motto was "Nobody knows the Mountain West like we do!"
