WILLISTON, N.D. – Flights from all corners of the globe can now fly in and fuel up at Overland Aviation as they opened a new terminal and U.S. Customs facility at Williston Basin International Airport (KXWA), Williston, N.D.
Overland Aviation cut the ribbon on the new facility on September 11, 2021, during the Williston Basin International Airport’s first airshow, celebrating with aviation enthusiasts throughout the Williston community.
