Piney Pinecreek Border Airport (FAA LID: 48Y, TC LID: 48Y) is a public use airport located 2 NM (3.7 km; 2.3 mi) northwest of the central business district of Pinecreek, in Roseau County, Minnesota, United States. It is owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Also known as Piney/Piney Pinecreek Border Airport, it is the first, and one of only three, "international airports" that cross the United States-Canada border (the others are Avey Field State Airport and Coronach/Scobey Border Station Airport). It is shared by the rural settlements of Piney, Manitoba and Pine Creek, Minnesota.
The airport, located at a latitude of 49 degrees, 0 minutes, 0 seconds latitude, 95 degrees, 58 minutes, 57 seconds longitude, originally was located entirely within the United States. Needing to extend the runway, the owners found it could not be extended south due to obstacles, but the land north was unused. After arrangements were made with Canadian and Manitoba authorities, the runway was extended across the 49th parallel.
The airport, located in both Manitoba and Minnesota (in Roseau County), has both United States and Canada customs services, and is attractive to tourists, hunters and fishermen. Ground access is available on Manitoba Highway 89 and Minnesota State Highway 89.
The airport is classified as an airport of entry by NAV CANADA and is staffed by the Canada Border Services Agency. CBSA officers at this airport currently can handle general aviation aircraft only, with no more than 15 passengers.
