Airport contact
Served by North Star Air (Thunder Bay route, 3x weekly, launched July 6 2026 under a Town of Fort Frances subsidy agreement) after Bearskin Airlines/Perimeter Aviation withdrew scheduled service effective May 11 2024, leaving Fort Frances without commercial air service for roughly two years; runway 03/21 is officially closed but retained as a turf/gravel crosswind-relief strip. Located near the Minnesota/Manitoba border in northwestern Ontario, hence Central rather than Eastern time.
