Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), also known as Wold-Chamberlain Field, is a major joint civil-military public international airport serving the Twin Cities region of Minneapolis and Saint Paul in Minnesota. The facility is located around 10 miles from the downtown of both Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The airport spans more than 2,930 acres and is the busiest airport in the Upper Midwest.

The airport serves as a major commercial hub for multiple operators and a logistical hub for several major air cargo operators.
