It is owned by the City of Fargo Municipal Airport Authority.

The present terminal was built in 1986. With its construction, the terminal facility moved from the southeast corner of the airport grounds to the West central area. In 1982, Hector Field became Hector International Airport and U. S. Customs opened an office on the field in 1985.
Hector International Airport completed the passenger terminal expansion/update project October 2008. The project updated the existing terminal building and added a 5th gate, 3rd baggage claim and expanded the security checkpoint area.
