Pembina Municipal Airport (PMB) is a critical general aviation facility and a designated International Airport of Entry located in Pembina, North Dakota, situated just 2 miles south of the United States-Canada border. The airport features a functional passenger terminal and Fixed-Base Operator (FBO) facility currently managed by Nord Aviation, Inc. It acts as a vital infrastructure link for cross-border travel, providing a professional base for private pilots and corporate charters transitioning between North Dakota and Manitoba.
The terminal infrastructure provides essential amenities for travelers and flight crews, including basic pilot lounge facilities and a dedicated administrative area for cross-border logistics. As an official 'Airport of Entry,' the facility coordinates closely with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to provide on-site processing for international arrivals, typically requiring one hour of advance notice for staffing. While the facility lacks on-site dining or large-scale retail, its proximity to the town of Pembina ensures easy access to local services and interstate highway links.
Technical services at the field include 24-hour self-service fueling for 100LL Avgas provided via an airport manager fuel truck. The airfield features a single 3,798-foot asphalt runway (15/33) equipped with pilot-controlled lighting and is notably designated as a 'Cold Temperature Restricted Airport,' requiring specialized altitude corrections for pilots when temperatures drop below -30°C. Ground transportation is informal, with visitors typically arranging private vehicle pickups or utilizing local taxi services to reach the nearby port of entry and regional commerce centers.
