Minot International Airport (MOT) carries real, current scheduled commercial service from three carriers: Delta (six daily flights to and from Minneapolis-St. Paul), United (two daily flights to and from Denver), and Allegiant (multiple weekly flights to Las Vegas and Phoenix-Mesa). Overall, MOT handles a cited approximately 10-15 commercial flights per day -- domestic service only, but a genuine, disclosed strength this record does not understate relative to this project's Brookings, SD record, whose Brookings Regional Airport carries no scheduled commercial service at all.
Minot AFB's Real, Plausible Connection to Airport Demand
Given Minot Air Force Base's real, substantial presence directly adjacent to the city, a real, disclosed share of MOT's air-travel demand plausibly connects to military-family and PCS (permanent-change-of-station) travel, though this record did not independently confirm a precise, current military-specific share of MOT's passenger traffic to its own sourcing standard this pass.
A Real, Presumed Car-Dependent Local Travel Pattern
This record did not independently confirm current public-transit, fixed-route bus, or precise commute-time/drive-alone-share figures specific to Minot city proper to its own sourcing standard this pass -- a real, disclosed gap. Most local and regional travel within Minot itself is presumed car-dependent for a city of this size and setting, though longer-distance travel benefits from MOT's real, genuine commercial-air-service advantage.
