It is owned by the City of Minot.[1] The Airport director is Andy Solsvig.
Scheduled passenger service to the airport is currently provided by Delta Air Lines, with five flights to and from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. United Airlines became the airport's second airline beginning in June 2010 with service to Denver International Airport. Allegiant became the airport's third airline providing twice-weekly direct air service to Las Vegas on October 22, 2010.
Customs service is available for aircraft arriving from Canada and other countries. Minot International has no scheduled passenger airline service out of the country but receives its international title (like many other airports) because of this customs service. The TSA fully searches all passengers and carry-on luggage prior to boarding, rather than using a selective process as is the case at major airports.
Car Rental services and pay parking are available at the airport. Concessions provided by "the Galley" are located on the second floor of the terminal and past security on the main floor.
