Part 135 Charter Operators in North Dakota

North Dakota's charter aviation industry has been transformed by the Bakken oil boom, creating massive demand for personnel transportation to remote drilling sites and production facilities. Williston Basin International Airport (ISN) and other regional airports serve as hubs for oil field operations, while Hector International Airport (FAR) in Fargo serves agricultural and regional business markets.

The oil industry's rapid growth created a surge in charter demand for transporting workers, executives, and equipment to remote locations throughout western North Dakota. The state's agricultural sector, including wheat, corn, and soybean operations, generates seasonal charter demand for farm management and agricultural business travel. Harsh winter conditions require operators skilled in cold weather operations and equipped for extreme temperature variations.
