Operated under an international agreement between the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and Piney, Manitoba, the airport saw minimal use and faced high maintenance costs, including necessary runway, apron, and terminal upgrades. With the agreement expiring on December 26, neither party has chosen to renew it.
Several nearby airports, including Warroad Memorial International (KRRT), Roseau Municipal (KROX), Stephen Municipal (D41), and Warren Municipal (D37), offer alternative options for the region’s general aviation needs. State officials note that these airports have more annual operations and support based aircraft.
