Bemidji Regional Airport — Bemidji, United States

Near the headwaters of the Mississippi River in northern Minnesota, Bemidji Regional Airport serves the city of Bemidji at an elevation of 1,391 feet with two runways. Bemidji sits along the shores of Lake Bemidji, in a heavily forested lakes region popular for fishing and other outdoor recreation throughout the year. Scheduled flights connect Bemidji mainly to Minneapolis-Saint Paul, giving the northern part of the state a quicker option than the multi-hour highway drive south. Winters bring the kind of sustained cold typical of Minnesota's northern reaches, occasionally affecting flight schedules during the harshest stretches. The airport supports both commercial passenger service and general aviation tied to area tourism and forestry.
