Grand Forks GFK Airport Overview

Grand Forks International Airport GFK is North Dakota's busiest commercial airport and serves the eastern part of this state and its Red River Valley region, as well as Minnesota's Polk County,  and can be easily reached from these communities.  The Airport has recently experienced rapid air traffic increase, some due to the need for Bakken-bound employees to get to the shale oil fields of Minot & Wiliston.
