Your fine art print is made to order with pigment inks on heavyweight, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, a 330 gsm sheet with a high color gamut and deep black density. The acid-free, archival-grade paper has a smooth matte surface. Supplied unframed, ready for your own frame.
Shipping and Returns
Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat, though paper may retain a slight curl; orders with framed or metal pieces ship in separate boxes. Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.

Digital downloads are non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law or where AirportPrints determines that a delivery failure or technical issue was caused by AirportPrints.
Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Williston's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Williston Basin International Airport Runway Diagram Print
Williston Basin International Airport works two concrete runways, and the print is built on the way they cross. Runway 14/32 is 7,503 by 150 feet and runs northwest to southeast as one long diagonal spine. Runway 4/22, 4,502 by 75 feet, cuts across it southwest to northeast, and the two meet past the midpoint of the long strip, closer to its 32 end. Field elevation is 2,356 feet above sea level and magnetic variation is 8E. On paper that reads as a lopsided X: one heavy bar carrying the frame, a lighter bar crossing it low, and a short taxiway hook closing each of the four runway ends.
The field is young for a commercial airport. It replaced Sloulin Field International Airport, which had run into design and expansion limits and could not keep up with the air traffic that came with the North Dakota oil boom, and it opened to the public on October 10, 2019 with short-haul service to Minneapolis/St. Paul and to Denver. It opened with runway 14/32 alone; the crosswind runway 4/22 followed on November 5, 2020 and is mainly intended for smaller aircraft. The drawing keeps that order of arrival, with the long runway setting the axis and the shorter one reading as the later, lighter line.
The airport is owned and operated by the City of Williston and sits about 10 miles northwest of town on roughly 1,600 acres, with a terminal of four gates, three of them fitted with jet bridges. In 2024 it handled 197,936 passengers. As art the layout is left to speak plainly: runway designators, lengths and widths follow the published figures, while taxiways, apron edges and the terminal blocks are reduced to flat geometry over the ground tone you choose. This is original wall art composed from published airport information and available field depictions, printed to order at a size that reads from across a room and still holds up close.
Williston (XWA) print, common questions
How many runways does Williston Basin International Airport have?
Two, both concrete. Runway 14/32 is 7,503 by 150 feet and runway 4/22 is 4,502 by 75 feet. They cross past the middle of the long runway, and that crossing is what the print is composed around.
What is the longest runway at XWA, and how high is the field?
The longest is 14/32 at 7,503 feet. Field elevation is 2,356 feet above sea level, and that figure is set in the margin of the print alongside the coordinates.
What does XWA stand for and where is the airport?
XWA is the IATA code for Williston Basin International Airport in northwestern North Dakota, about 10 miles northwest of Williston, near 48.26 north and 103.75 west.
When did the airport open?
It opened to the public on October 10, 2019, replacing Sloulin Field International Airport, which had trouble handling the traffic that came with the state's oil boom. The crosswind runway 4/22 opened later, on November 5, 2020.
Is the diagram accurate to the real airport?
Runway designators, lengths, widths and the angle between the two runways follow published airport information for the field. It is original wall art, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, including minor taxiway markings, signage and small structures, and it is not for navigation.
What sizes are available, and does it work as a gift?
Each print is made to order in several sizes and finishes, on a ground tone you pick at checkout. It suits anyone who has flown in and out of the Bakken, worked a season in northwestern North Dakota, or watched the new field go up outside town.
