The Minnesota Department of Transportation's (MnDOT) Office of Aeronautics completed an update of the Minnesota Aviation System Plan in 2006. The Minnesota Aviation System Plan provides a macro level plan for guiding airport development in greater Minnesota. It provides input into the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS), individual airport master plans, and the State's Transportation System Plan. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) uses the NPIAS as a basis for funding decisions, and the State Transportation System Plan guides transportation investment.
The update to the Minnesota Aviation System Plan was completed using FAA's latest advisory circular on aviation system planning. The plan helps MnDOT determine the type, extent, location, timing, and cost of aviation-related development needed to insure that Minnesota has a viable system of airports.
Three special studies were conducted concurrently with the System Plan. These three studies considered the air service needs of Greater Minnesota's commercial airports, air cargo activity within the state, and general aviation security needs as defined by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
