Terminal 2’s expansion includes adding two additional airline gates, increasing the space and seating, new restrooms, concession spaces, and additional operational support areas for airlines and tenants.

“We are seeing a surge in travel demand, highlighted by a string of record-setting months at Terminal 2 this year,” said Brian Ryks, CEO of the MAC, which owns and operates MSP. “This project is a long-term strategic investment to support our airlines, improve the passenger experience and to keep pace with demand that fuels growth at MSP and in our local economy.”

The Terminal 2 expansion is expected to be completed in early 2027. Additional details on the project can be found here.
