GFK Airport (Grand Forks International Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

On a clear morning the traffic pattern at Grand Forks International (GFK/KGFK) fills not with freighters but with single-engine trainers: this is the home field of the University of North Dakota's John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, which keeps the largest civilian flight-training fleet in North America here, more than 120 aircraft and over 100,000 instructional hours a year. Dedicated freighter service ended when FedEx relocated to Fargo in 2016; what remains is UPS feeder lift for parcels plus belly capacity sold through Delta Cargo on the daily jet rotations to Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP). On the passenger side Delta serves MSP while Allegiant flies to Las Vegas, Phoenix-Mesa and Orlando. The field has four runways, and the primary 17R/35L of roughly 2,240 metres is being reconstructed in phases, with the northern section due for completion in October 2026. Consolidated forwarder shipments normally move by road down Interstate 29 to Hector International at Fargo, about 120 kilometres south, which offers Foreign-Trade Zone 267 and a CBP port of entry for customs clearance. Next door, on the air-force base, Grand Sky operates as the country's first commercial drone-testing park.
