About Fort Frances Municipal Airport

Overview

Fort Frances Municipal Airport serves the northwestern Ontario region, located near the Canada-US border in Fort Frances. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalted runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation, supporting local commercial, charter, and general aviation operations in this remote Canadian landscape.

Flying Conditions

Situated at 1125 feet above mean sea level, the airport experiences typical northwestern Ontario climate conditions with significant seasonal temperature variations. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and temperature-related density altitude changes, particularly during summer and winter transition periods.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways with different orientations: runway 03/21 measuring 2600 feet and runway 12/30 measuring 4500 feet, both constructed with asphalt surfaces. Its geographic coordinates (48.655749, -93.443490) place it in a terrain environment that requires standard terrain awareness and navigation considerations.

Approach Considerations

With two runways of differing lengths, pilots have flexibility in approach and departure options based on aircraft type and current wind conditions. The longer 12/30 runway at 4500 feet provides more landing and takeoff options for larger aircraft, while the 03/21 runway offers an alternative approach when wind conditions dictate.
