(Minot, ND) -- Refueling equipment that broke at Minot International Airport earlier this week has been repaired.

The broken equipment caused flights to be diverted to different airports like Rapid City to refuel, leaving many passengers frustrated and seeking answers. Airport officials say they contacted several companies and contractors to get the equipment running again.

The airport says not being able to access fuel for several days is something they never want to experience again.
