Private Aviation Briefing
International Peace Garden Airport (KS28) serves Dunseith at 2,314 ft MSL elevation. This briefing covers the private aviation considerations for operators, passengers, and flight departments using this facility.
U.S. General Aviation Context
International Peace Garden Airport is part of the U.S. National Airspace System, regulated by the FAA. As a ND facility, the airport contributes to the regional transportation network connecting Dunseith to the broader aviation system. FAA Part 135 charter operators serve this airport, and The Jet Finder can source aircraft positioned near KS28 for on-demand charter.
Runway Capability
International Peace Garden Airport's 3000-foot runway limits operations to piston aircraft, light turboprops, and select short-field-capable jets. The Pilatus PC-12 (2,600 ft required), Cessna Caravan, and King Air C90 are among the turbine aircraft that can use fields of this length. Charter passengers should coordinate with The Jet Finder to identify aircraft types suited to KS28's runway.
Charter Considerations
When chartering from International Peace Garden Airport, consider the round-trip economics. One-way charters incur a repositioning fee (the empty leg back to base). Round-trips from KS28 eliminate this cost. For one-way flights, The Jet Finder checks for aircraft that need to reposition through Dunseith anyway, reducing or eliminating the empty-leg premium.

Airport Selection Strategy
International Peace Garden Airport serves the Dunseith market for private aviation. Airport selection affects charter cost through positioning fees, landing charges, and fuel prices. An airport 20 miles farther from your destination but with lower fees and better aircraft availability can save thousands on a charter. The Jet Finder runs this analysis for every booking from the Dunseith area.
Seasonal Factors
Summer density altitude affects aircraft performance at International Peace Garden Airport, particularly on hot afternoons when field elevation of 2,314 ft MSL increases effective altitude. Early morning departures maximize payload and performance from KS28. The Jet Finder schedules departures to optimize aircraft performance when density altitude is a factor.
Location & Address
International Peace Garden Airport is positioned at coordinates 48.9978° N, -100.0430° W, at 2,314 feet above mean sea level. Ground transportation from KS28 to Dunseith proper is typically a short drive. Private aviation eliminates the hours that commercial airport processing adds to your trip.
Runways & Facilities
The 3,000-foot runway at International Peace Garden Airport supports piston aircraft, turboprops, and very light jets (VLJs) under favorable conditions. Light jet operators should verify takeoff and landing performance against current density altitude and weight. Midsize jets typically require a longer field.
