The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) is undergoing a significant expansion to enhance passenger services and accommodate future growth. This expansion project, led by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), is driven by the need to modernize facilities and cater to the rising number of passengers using the airport. Established initially as Speedway Field in 1920, MSP quickly evolved into a pivotal hub for commercial aviation.
The ongoing development at MSP includes significant work at both Terminal 1, named 'Charles Lindbergh', and Terminal 2, also known as 'Hubert Humphrey'. These upgrades aim to improve infrastructure and passenger experience. The Terminal 1 expansion, which is set to conclude in 2028, will add extensive public spaces and amenities designed to streamline airport operations. Brian Ryks, CEO of the MAC, emphasized: “The expansion will improve gate utilization and overall operations for our airlines to accommodate more passengers, larger aircraft, and more flights from our growing network of international destinations."
Terminal 2 is also witnessing modifications, adding new gates and enhancing the facilities to ensure efficient passenger flow and improved services for various airlines like Sun Country Airlines and Southwest. The design focuses on energy efficiency and sustainability, aligning with the airport's commitment to environmental responsibility.
