Question is; can I catch flights to and from the Twin Cities from the Big Fork AirPort?
It would be once every 3 to 5 months a year.
Thanks,
Mark
My apologies if you did not receive an answer. Unfortunately we are not a "commercial" airport. To catch a flight the nearest airport would be Hibbing/Chisholm, located in Hibbing or Bemidji.
