Hector International Airport
Hector International Airport is an airport in Fargo, North Dakota, IATA Code FAR, ICAO Code KFAR. Hector International has the longest public runway (2910m) in North Dakota, and can receive Boeing 747s.
Customs service is available for aircraft arriving from Canada. As Hector has no scheduled passenger airline service out of the country, some people from larger cities claim Hector is not a "true" international airport. However, it is hardly uncommon for airports in both the northern and southern tiers to be called "International" -- the only requirement for the designation is customs service.
Passenger service to the airport is largely provided by Northwest Airlines, although there are a few United Express flights. The airport also has extensive cargo airline activity.
The airport is also home to the Happy Hooligans, an F-16 fighter unit of the Air National Guard.
