The town of Fort Frances is asking for some help from other municipalities within the Rainy River district to cover the operating costs of its airport.
Councillor Rick Wiedenhoeft says escalating costs over the past three years has forced them to make seek outside support.
"If this keeps going and these costs continue to rise, Fort Frances will not be able to fund this thing all by itself," says Weidenhoeft. "We need help funding this airport and we're looking to the district municipalities to help us out."
Wiedenhoeft feels the request is fair as the airport serves the needs of the entire district.
The town will make its pitch at an upcoming meeting of area mayors and reeves in Emo.
