Grand Forks International Airport(IATA: GFK,ICAO: KGFK,FAALID: GFK) is a public airport five miles (8km) northwest of Grand Forks, in Grand Forks County, North Dakota. GFK has no scheduled passenger flights out of the country but has an "international" title (like many other airports) because it has customs service for arrivals from Canada and other countries.
The airport, sometimes called Mark Andrews International Airport after Mark Andrews, a former U.S. House Representative and U.S. Senator from North Dakota, is owned by the Grand Forks Regional Airport Authority and located on U.S. Highway 2, around four miles (6km) west of Interstate 29, within city limits in a detached section of the city that is surrounded by Rye Township.
An international airport is an airport that offers customs and immigration facilities for passengers travelling between countries. International airports are typically larger than domestic airports and often feature longer runways and facilities to accommodate the heavier aircraft commonly used for international and intercontinental travel. International airports often also host domestic flights. Some, such as Frankfurt Airport in Germany are very large; others such as Fa'a'ā International Airport in Tahiti, are quite small.
Buildings, operations and management have become increasingly sophisticated since the mid 20th century, when international airports began to provide infrastructure for international civilian flights. Detailed technical standards have been developed to ensure safety and common coding systems implemented to provide global consistency. The physical structures that serve millions of individual passengers and flights are among the most complex and interconnected in the world. By the second decade of the 21st century, there were over 1,200 international airports and almost two billion international passengers along with 50 million metric tonnes of cargo were passing through them annually.
Memphis International Airport(IATA: MEM,ICAO: KMEM,FAALID: MEM) is a civil-military airport seven miles (11.2km) southeast of downtown Memphis, in Shelby County, Tennessee.
Memphis International Airport is home to the FedEx Express global hub, which processes many of the company's packages. Nonstop FedEx destinations from Memphis include cities across the continental United States, Europe, Middle East, Asia and South America. From 1993 to 2009 Memphis had the largest cargo operations of any airport worldwide. MEM dropped into second position in 2010, behind Hong Kong; however, it remained the busiest cargo airport in the United States.
As of 2014, Memphis International Airport had a passenger count of 3.75 million, up slightly from the 2014 year.Delta Air Lines dropped Memphis as a hub airport after continually reducing flights following its 2008 merger with Northwest Airlines. As of July 2014 MEM averaged 83 total passenger flights per day on all of the airlines serving the city. The airport has since added several airlines, including Southwest, Frontier, and Allegiant, which has increased competition among the carriers. Since Delta's departure as a hub operation, average round trip prices have declined significantly. The July–September 2014 quarter alone saw a 4.7% decline from the quarter a year earlier.
Philadelphia International Airport(IATA: PHL,ICAO: KPHL,FAALID: PHL), often referred to just by its IATA code PHL, is a major airport in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, and is the largest airport in the Delaware Valley region and in the state. The airport is a major international hub for American Airlines and a regional cargo hub for UPS Airlines. The airport has service to destinations in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. Most of the airport property is located in Philadelphia proper. The international terminal and the western end of the airfield are located in Tinicum Township, Delaware County.
Located on the western banks of the Red River of the North in a flat region known as the Red River Valley, the city is prone to flooding and was struck by the devastating Red River Flood of 1997. Originally called Les Grandes Fourches by French fur traders, Grand Forks was founded in 1870 by steamboat captain Alexander Griggs and incorporated on February 22, 1881. Its location at the fork of the Red River and the Red Lake River gives the city its name.
It is located at a railroad wye where Amtrak trains headed for Chicago turn south. The station was built by Amtrak in 1982, replacing the use of a Great Northern station downtown and allowing Amtrak to serve the city without having to go downtown and then back up. For a while before the station officially opened, trains stopped here and passengers were bussed to and from the old station. The former Great Northern station has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1990.
Grand Forks is served by Amtrak's daily Empire Builder. Of the seven North Dakota stations served by Amtrak, Grand Forks was the fourth busiest in FY10, boarding or detraining an average of about 55 passengers daily. The station is owned by Amtrak. The platform and tracks are owned by BNSF Railway.
Tour of the Main Terminal at the Grand Forks International Airport
(3-3-24) Welcome back to another video! In this video, I walk around the main terminal building at the Grand Forks International Airport in Grand Forks, North Dakota. This is a small airport only consisting of two airlines and two gates. Delta and Allegiant are the only two airlines that fly here. Delta flies to Minneapolis only. Allegiant flies to Phoenix (AZA), Las Vegas, and Orlando (SFB). It is a nice airport for it size. It has one shop and one restaurant. The only issue I have with the airport is that it gets crowded when an Allegiant flight and a Delta flight come in at the same time. Other than that, it’s a great airport.

Wide awake I'm on a plane out of town Fly away From the weight of the world On the ground I'm international But I don't know where to go Hopefully where summer days Can melt these winter bones I'm international And you're orbiting my brain I'm reduced to writing nothing All over napkins on the plane Wide awake I'm on a plane out of town Taking pictures of myself In the mirror on wall Trying hard not to make my space The loneliest place of all Early warning all across the sky Clouds are rolling in on your light Any change from here would be The wisest change of all Any place from here up here Would be the finest place to fall Wide awake I'm on a plane out of town I'm losing track of myself On all the time zone lines And if I daylight save Do I jump ahead or fall behind? And I'm fine 'cause I know Any plane I ride Can fly me home And I'm fine 'cause I know You know, I know It's easy to see Clouds were built for dreams Because nothing up there Is as easy as it seems I step out And try to walk around As I fall, I look up And wonder why it let me down I'm international That's twice the speed of sound I just hope I take off from here Before I hit the ground If I could get to heaven By an airplane in the sky We would always be in love And we would always love to fly Wide awake I'm on a plane out of town Taking pictures of myself In the mirror on wall Trying hard not to make my space The loneliest place of all And I'm fine 'cause I know Any plane I ride Can fly me home And I'm fine 'cause I know You know, I know And I'm fine 'cause I know Any plane I ride Can fly me home And I'm fine 'cause I know Any plane I ride Can fly me home You know, I know
