The award recognizes Hector International Airport as the busiest small airport in the country, which accommodated 553,492 scheduled departing seats in the previous 12 months. “This acknowledgement is a reflection of the passengers we serve.” said Shawn Dobberstein, Executive Director of Hector International Airport. “We’re grateful for our community and so thankful for all the people who choose to fly Fargo.”
