What Travelers Love

Recent Infrastructure Investment: Standing Rock Airport has received federal funding for significant rehabilitation projects. In February 2024, the airport was allocated $700,000 for its projects. More recently, in May 2025, the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe received $85,000 to rehabilitate 3,700 feet of Runway 14/32, 4,700 square yards of the General Aviation Apron pavement, and 550 feet of Taxiway A. These investments aim to maintain structural integrity and minimize foreign object debris, suggesting ongoing improvements to the airport's operational infrastructure.
Lights System: The airport is equipped with PAPI lights for Runway 14 & 32 and MIRL (Medium Intensity Runway Lights) for Runway 14/32, which operate consistently from dusk until midnight and can be activated via CTAF after midnight, assisting pilots with nighttime operations.

Common Complaints

Lack of Commercial Services and Amenities: There are no services available at Standing Rock Airport (KY27), meaning a complete absence of terminal facilities, amenities, or typical passenger services like FBOs (Fixed-Base Operators) or fuel.
No Traveler Reviews: Given its classification, there are no traveler reviews or experiences regarding aspects like terminal cleanliness, security wait times, or customs/immigration, as these services are not provided.
Limited Public Transportation and Connectivity: The airport lacks direct public transportation connections. For travelers heading to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, the nearest significant airport is Bismarck (BIS), from which bus and taxi services are required to reach the reservation.
Wildlife Presence: Pilots should be aware of birds and waterfowl on and in the vicinity of the airport, which could pose a hazard during operations.
Snow Removal Contingencies: During the months of October to April, pilots must confirm snow removal by calling designated numbers.

In summary, Standing Rock Airport (KY27) is a general aviation facility undergoing recent infrastructure upgrades to its runways, aprons, and taxiways. It does not cater to commercial passenger traffic, and consequently, there are no traveler reviews concerning passenger experiences or terminal amenities. Its primary function appears to be supporting general aviation with basic operational infrastructure, rather than offering a full-service travel experience.
