The two city airports are for general aviation and the other is a privately owned [[floatplane]] base. * [[Fort Frances Municipal Airport]] * [[Fort Frances Water Aerodrome]] * [[Falls International Airport]] Fort Frances Municipal Airport does not have regularly scheduled commercial airline service. It was previously served by only one company, [[Bearskin Airlines]], with flights to and from Kenora, [[Winnipeg]], Thunder Bay, and [[Dryden, Ontario|Dryden]]. Falls International Airport has flights to [[Minneapolis–Saint Paul]] by [[Delta Connection]]. [[Ontario Highway 11]] and [[Ontario Highway 71]], the latter of which ends in Fort Frances, are the two major highways in the community. Both are part of the [[Trans-Canada Highway]]. The town is connected to [[Kenora]] via Highway 71, while Highway 11 provides connections to [[Devlin, Ontario|Devlin]], [[Emo, Ontario|Emo]], and [[Rainy River, Ontario|Rainy River]] to the west, and [[Atikokan]] and [[Thunder Bay]] to the east.
