And nearly two dozen new restaurants joined the ranks of MSP’s award-winning concession program. The Metropolitan Airports Commission’s (MAC) reliever airport system also saw an increase in the number of aircraft operations and the number of aircraft based there. Work continued on a multi-year project to expand and modernize Terminal 1’s vintage ticketing and bag claim facilities, and a new 5,000-stall parking ramp took shape in preparation for its 2020 debut. The MAC also began planning and increasing investments in its reliever airports, helping ensure the Twin Cities will continue to enjoy not only the largest, but also we believe the best, airport system in the nation. We’re not alone in holding that opinion. In 2019, for the third consecutive year, Airports Council International named MSP the Best Airport in North America in its size category based on passenger surveys. In short, 2019 was a year of tremendous promise that illustrated the close connection between air transportation and a strong HFRQRP\+LVWRU\KDVVKRZQWKDWDYLDWLRQERWKGULYHVDQGEHQH¿WVIURPHFRQRPLFJURZWK±DQGLWZLOODJDLQZKHQWKHFXUUHQW crisis is behind us.

STUDY OVERVIEW ECONOMIC IMPACTS FOR ALL PUBLIC AIRPORTS Minnesota is served by an extensive system of 133 public general aviation and commercial ANNUAL EMPLOYMENT ANNUAL PAYROLL service airports that provide essential transportation links, support aviation 94,037 $4.4 B services, and generate a significant amount of economic activity. Starting in late 2018, the ANNUAL ECONOMIC ANNUAL SPENDING ACTIVITY Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Office of Aeronautics studied 126 of these $13.8 B $18.2 B airports to measure their economic impact on the state economy. Throughout this document these 126 airports are referred to STUDY & MAC AIRPORTS as “study airports.” This map shows the geographic location for study and MAC airports. Economic impact results from studies conducted by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), for their seven airports in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul Metropolitan Area, are incorporated to provide a comprehensive summary of the annual economic impacts generated by all 133 public airports. Since a similar approach was used to estimate impacts for the MAC airports, the findings from the two separate efforts are combined to produce an overall statewide total, as shown in the table on this page.

  • FACT SHEET You May Have Heard
    MAC GA Final Four Community FACT SHEET You may have heard... The 2019 NCAA Final Four is coming to Minnesota. The event is expected to draw thousands of people to the area and the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) is preparing its airport facilities to accommodate those traveling by air. Many event-goers traveling to and from the Twin Cities will use commercial airline services at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP); many others will use non-commercial aviation services, like those that operate at the MAC’s general aviation airports. Those airports include: • STP: St. Paul Downtown Airport in St. Paul • ANE: Anoka County-Blaine Airport in Blaine • FCM: Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie • MIC: Crystal Airport in Crystal • LVN: Airlake Airport in Lakeville • 21D: Lake Elmo Airport in Lake Elmo The MAC is preparing to meet the increase in demand while ensuring a high level of service and being mindful of neighboring communities. What you can expect... • During the week leading up to the National Championship game and one day after (April 1-9, 2019), MAC expects to have more aircraft taking off and landing than usual at each of its airports. • We anticipate the highest volume of flights to occur from Wednesday, April 3rd through Tuesday, April 9th. • Federal law allows airplanes and helicopters to land and takeoff at any MAC airport any time of day or night. The MAC anticipates • Corporate jets and turboprop aircraft, like the ones arrivals will peak in pictured, will be used more than normal during the hours leading April 6 all hours of the day and night, including the early up to the Semifinal Saturday morning hours and later into the evening.

  • Aviation Draft
    Chapter 9 Aviation Investment Direction and Plan Overview Aviation connects the Twin Cities region to the rest of the nation and the world beyond. Although federal law does not require that a region's long-range transportation plan include an aviation element, state law defines aviation as a metropolitan system and requires the Council to prepare an aviation system plan. Minnesota Statutes (473.145) directs the Council to prepare a metropolitan development guide that addresses “… the necessity for and location of airports…” More specifically, Minnesota Statutes 473.146, subd. 3.8 requires the Council to adopt a long-range comprehensive transportation policy Plan that includes “a long-range assessment of air transportation trends and factors that may affect airport development in the metropolitan area and policies and strategies that will ensure a comprehensive, coordinated, and timely investigation and evaluation of alternatives for airport development." The Twin Cities Regional Aviation System is a well developed aviation system that requires continued protection, maintenance, and enhancements to support the Twin Cities economy and transportation infrastructure. The Twin Cities region is served by one major airport with commercial air service − Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport − and eight seven reliever airports for general aviation, business and recreational users. Two seaplan bases Two seaplane bases A are are aalso partss of the system.. are two seaplane bases. and a turf runway airport. The airports are classified according to their role within the regional aviation system as a Major, Intermediate, Minor or Special Purpose facility. Most of the system airports are part of the National Plan of Integrated Airports (NPIAS), which makes them eligible for federal and state funding.

  • MAC General Aviation Airports Buck Trend in COVID-Impacted 2020 Flight Training and Leisure Flying Lead to Gain in Operations
    February 3, 2021 Contact: Jeff Lea 314-793-4240 [email protected] MAC General Aviation Airports Buck Trend in COVID-Impacted 2020 Flight Training and Leisure Flying Lead to Gain in Operations MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL – The six general aviation airports operated by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) collectively grew operations in 2020 by 2 percent to total 326,044, or 6,381 more takeoffs and landings than in 2019. The general aviation airports are often referred to as reliever airports because they relieve congestion that would otherwise occur at the MAC’s major airport, Minneapolis-St. Paul International (MSP). The increase bucks the trend of U.S. commercial airports which suffered steep declines in activity last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. MSP reported a 40 percent decline in operations and a 62 percent decline in passengers in 2020. Flying Cloud Airport (FCM) located in Eden Prairie, MN, and Airlake Airport (LVN) located in Lakeville, MN, drove the operations increase in the MAC reliever airport system. Operations at FCM were up 19 percent, nearly 20,000 operations, over 2019. LVN activity increased by 5 percent over 2019, with nearly 1,500 additional operations in 2020. Flying Cloud set some new daily operations records in 2020. On May 12, FCM was the 13th busiest airport in the country (commercial or general aviation), and on June 19, FCM marked its eighth busiest day of the past decade with more than 750 flights. “While the pandemic forced steep declines in corporate travel and business jet activity, it appeared to open up opportunities for more flight training activities and leisure flying in general,” said Joe Harris, director of reliever airports for the MAC.
