Hector International Airport in Fargo will soon offer direct flights to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest airport in the world. At Flint Group, we couldn’t be more excited to have a direct connection to a city we love to visit both on and off the clock.
Atlanta, Georgia, is a dynamic and diverse city that has cemented itself as a cultural and economic powerhouse in the southeastern United States. Known for its incredible food scene, rich history, booming arts industry and world-class entertainment, Atlanta has something for everyone, whether you're visiting for business or pleasure.
At Flint Group, we've been traveling to Atlanta for years to meet with clients like AGCO. Our team averages more than 70 flights to Georgia every year, often with stops in both Atlanta and Savannah. Until now, each trip has included a layover in Minneapolis, typically adding three hours per flight, and nearly six hours round trip. Let’s not even get into delays or missed connections and flights. With the weather in the Midwest, we know just how likely those are and how much time they eat into our trip. That’s hundreds of extra hours a year spent in airports – time we’d much rather spend connecting with our clients and soaking up the warm Georgia sunshine.
This new direct flight is a game-changer. Not only will it cut travel time and simplify logistics, but it also signals a stronger connection between the Upper Midwest and the Southeast. For businesses, it means quicker access to partners, conferences and clients. For travelers, it means easy escapes to explore Georgia’s rich heritage, music and Southern hospitality without the extra stops.
As Fargo continues to grow and expand, having direct access to cities like Atlanta enhances opportunities across the board. We’re excited to see where this route takes us, and who it brings to Fargo in return.
