The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) runs Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP).
The MAC is a public corporation established by the Minnesota State Legislature. It's comprised of individuals appointed by the Governor, ensuring a diverse range of expertise and representation from the communities served by the airport. The MAC's responsibilities include:
- Operating and maintaining MSP Airport: This involves managing runways, terminals, parking facilities, and other infrastructure.
- Planning for future airport development: The MAC anticipates future needs and plans for expansion or improvements to accommodate growing passenger and cargo volumes.
- Promoting economic development: MSP is a significant economic engine for the region, and the MAC works to maximize its positive impact.
- Ensuring environmental sustainability: The MAC implements programs to minimize the airport's environmental footprint.
- Overseeing six reliever airports: In addition to MSP, the MAC oversees six smaller airports in the Twin Cities metropolitan area.
In short, the MAC is the governing body responsible for the overall management, operation, and development of MSP Airport and its associated facilities.
