Airport contact
Served year-round by Delta Connection to Minneapolis-St. Paul and seasonally by Allegiant to Las Vegas, Phoenix-Mesa, and Orlando-Sanford; also known in CBP/federal records as Grand Forks-Mark Andrews International Airport, honoring the late senator who championed the field. Holds an international designation with on-site CBP customs/immigration service for general aviation, and lies about 7 miles from Grand Forks Air Force Base (a separate installation, home to remotely piloted aircraft units), with which it coordinates airspace and noise-abatement procedures; the University of North Dakota's John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, based on-field with roughly 120 training aircraft, generates about 90% of the airport's total operations. 2024 pax figure is FAA enplanements (92,482, down 1.49% from 93,877 in 2023) doubled per convention to estimate total boardings+deplanements.
