Hector International Airport (IATA: FAR, ICAO: KFAR) is a public airport located three miles (5 km) northwest of the city of Fargo in Cass County, North Dakota, USA.

Hector International has the longest public runway at 9,547 ft (2910 m) in North Dakota, and can receive Boeing 747s.

Customs service is available for aircraft arriving from Canada and other countries. Hector 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 airport is also home to the Happy Hooligans, an F-16 fighter unit of the Air National Guard.

The airport was named after Martin Hector, who donated the land the airport is situated on. [1]
