## Description

FedEx and UPS both run their own facilities on the roughly 40-hectare infield cargo area at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International (MSP/KMSP), which handled 207,896 tonnes of freight in 2025 against 200,719 tonnes a year earlier. That leaves throughput about 12 percent below the 2019 benchmark. Alongside those dedicated freighter operations, a large share of tonnage moves as belly cargo on Delta Air Lines services, for which MSP is a passenger hub. Air General is among the handling agents serving other carriers on the field. Medical-device shipments from the Twin Cities cluster, time-critical industrial parts, perishables and mail make up the typical mix. Road feeder services reach Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas via Interstates 35, 94 and 494. MSP is a US port of entry with Customs and Border Protection on site, so import clearance can be completed locally. For heavy intercontinental volumes, shippers frequently route instead through Chicago O'Hare (ORD, about 570 km by road) or the dedicated freight airport Chicago Rockford (RFD).
