long term comprehensive plan
The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) recently updated the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport's (MSP) Long Term Comprehensive Plan (LTCP). The Metropolitan Council completed its review of the updated plan in June and the MAC board approved it in July 2010. The MAC will use the plan to assist in determining priorities for facility improvements over the next several years.
The Plan
The updated plan focuses on improvements to passenger facilities to meet 2030 forecasts. The only planned modifications to the airfield are taxiway improvements to facilitate future airfield circulation.
The updated LTCP aims to:
- Provide sufficient, sustainable facilities to serve existing and future travel demand
- Ensure the airport's facilities (airfield, terminal, cargo, general aviation, roadways, and parking) are in balance
- Provide improved energy efficiency
- Minimize confusion associated with having two independently located terminals and multiple airport access points
- Allow flexibility in growth so development can occur in phases as demand warrants
- Use existing facilities to the fullest extent possible
- Enhance aircraft operational safety and efficiency
