About This Airport

200,719 metric tonnes of air cargo in 2024 against more than 36 million passengers in 2025 — Minneapolis–Saint Paul is a passenger giant with a mid-sized freight ledger. What MSP lacks in raw tonnage it makes up in connectivity: as Delta's second-largest hub it offers daily widebody belly space to Amsterdam, Paris, Seoul and Tokyo, a lifeline for Minnesota's med-tech and pharma exporters along the Medical Alley corridor. FedEx and UPS move the bulk of the tonnage from their own facilities. The story to watch is hometown carrier Sun Country, which has flown Boeing 737-800 freighters for Amazon Air since 2020 and now operates all 20 aircraft under the contract, lifting cargo revenue about 51 percent year on year in the third quarter of 2025. In May 2026 Allegiant Travel acquired Sun Country, folding it into the Allegiant Air brand while keeping the Amazon freighter fleet and a strong MSP presence. Customs is full-service: CBP port of entry, ACE/AMS processing and Foreign-Trade Zone 119 for duty deferral. Truckers reach I-494, I-35 and I-94 within minutes, BNSF and CPKC operate intermodal ramps across the Twin Cities, and Mississippi River barges load at Saint Paul. The site began as a failed motor speedway: Northwest Airways' 1926 airmail flights from Speedway Field mean freight, not passengers, founded this airport.
