## Description

Some 31,470 passengers used this north-Minnesota field in 2020, placing it among the busiest regional terminals in the state — but the freight story is the more interesting one. Two cargo operators worked the airport as of 2023: Bemidji Aviation Services, headquartered here for decades, and the FedEx Feeder service flown by Corporate Air. That makes Bemidji (IATA: BJI, ICAO: KBJI) one of the few smaller Minnesota airports with genuine dedicated freighter activity rather than belly cargo alone. Bemidji Aviation moves medical supplies, farm-machinery parts and perishables from here and from bases in the Twin Cities, Fargo and Denver. SkyWest operates the passenger link as Delta Connection to the Minneapolis–St. Paul hub (MSP). Runways handle aircraft up to Boeing 737 size, so widebody freighters are out of scope, and palletised or heavy shipments are trucked the roughly 350 km to MSP. Duluth (DLH) and Fargo (FAR) are the practical alternatives for shippers routing into the region.
