There are comparatively few passengers at MSP Airport due to COVID-19, but hundreds of airport workers are still on site each day, providing services and staying safe with social distancing and other measures.

“Air transportation is an essential service and plays a key role in moving personnel and equipment critical in the fight against the pandemic to the places they need to be,” said Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) CEO Brian Ryks. “Even with the volume of passengers down 95 percent, our organization still needs to work with our public- and private-sector partners to ensure flight operations continue.”

MAC employees vital to the daily operation of the airport include everyone from the police and fire departments to divisions that keep the two terminals and the airfield operating -- and ready to be utilized to their full capacity when passengers return.
