Minot International Airport (IATA: MOT, ICAO: KMOT, FAA LID: MOT) is a public airport located two miles (3 km) north of the central business district of Minot, a city in Ward County, North Dakota, United States. It is owned by the City of Minot.^[1]

Scheduled passenger service to the airport is currently provided solely by Northwest Airlines, with three flights to and from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport in off-peak periods and four daily during peak periods.

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.
