Minot International Airport is an airport in Minot, North Dakota, IATA Code MOT, ICAO Code KMOT.
Customs service is available for aircraft arriving from Canada and other countries. As Minot International has no scheduled passenger airline service out of the country, some people from larger cities claim it is not a "true" international airport. However, it is hardly uncommon for airports in both the northern and southern tiers to be called "International" -- the only requirement for the designation is customs service.
Passenger Service
Scheduled passenger service to the airport is currently provided solely by Northwest Airlines, with three flights to and from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport in off-peak periods and four daily during peak periods.
The Minot passenger terminal has two gates. Gate 1 is used by Northwest, Gate 2 is used by the occasional charter travel flight. The TSA fully searches all passengers and carry-on luggage prior to boarding, rather than using a selective process as is the case at major airports.
General Aviation/FBOs
Pietsch Aviation and Besette Aviation are based at the airport, both offer flight training and general aircraft services. There is a Texaco-branded fueling station. The City of Minot operates a general aviation terminal with flight service operations.
