Airports where you can walk across the US border

Post by digits_ »

Hi all,

With the unfortunate closure of Piny Pinecreek airport, we unfortunately lost a convenient airport for ESTA passengers to cross the US border.

Are there any other location in Canada where one could land in Canada, walk across the US border at a ground station, and then return to the airplane?

Or, alternatively, a location where there are 2 airports close by and border crossing can be done after a short taxi ride?

Preferably in the Prairies region, but open to any option.

To clarify, this is for private aircraft where ESTA / Visa Waiver Program holders are not eligible to fly into the US as a passenger.

I have no idea what the current status is but try:

Del Bonita, AB, CEQ4
Ross International Coutts, AB, CEP4

YMMV

The real problem with censorship is that people are not aware of it when it happens.

KS28, int’l peace gardens south of Brandon. There’s a ground border crossing you can walk through. And the peace gardens are a nice afternoon trip.

My info is about 15 years old, however.
