Dickinson City Commissioner Joe Frenzel reported at a city commission meeting Monday that the Dickinson airport, Sloulin Field International Airport in Williston and the Minot International Airport will need $400 million in the next five to ten years to operate.
Dickinson may need to expand its runways and build a terminal, Remynse said. Williston may have to move its airport while Minot builds another terminal and parking lot, Frenzel added.

"Frenzel added the airport could reach 26,000, but limited flights, capacity restrictions and availability of crew members holds back its full potential.Truly incredible. One really has to wonder about their thinking. Dickinson can't grow because of inadequate air service? As "anon 1" points out: expand the airport. Oh, that's right. There's a housing problem.
“The suggestion was that what is keeping Dickinson from 50,000 is simply we don’t have the aircraft,” he said.
The news was disturbing yet interesting, the commissioner said. The lack of airlines and extra crews could be a problem for the growing town.
“We can’t grow with that kind of service,” he said."
Comedy gold:
