It is located in Fort Snelling Unorganized Territory, Minnesota, United States. It is within 10 miles (16 kilometers) of both downtown Minneapolis and downtown Saint Paul. MSP is the largest and busiest airport in the Upper Midwest region of Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. A joint civil-military airport, MSP is also home to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport Joint Air Reserve Station, supporting both Air Force Reserve Command and Air National Guard flight operations.

The airport is located in Fort Snelling Unorganized Territory. Small sections of the airport border the city limits of Minneapolis and Richfield.

The airport generates an estimated $15.9 billion a year for the Twin Cities’ economy and supports 87,000 workers.

MSP is a major hub for Delta Air Lines. It also serves as the home airport for Minnesota-based Sun Country Airlines.

The airport is operated by the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which also handles the operation of six smaller airports in the region.
