The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) is a public corporation based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, established in 1943 to oversee coordinated aviation services for the Twin Cities region. It operates Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) along with six general aviation airports, forming one of the largest airport systems in the country. The MAC supports regional activity by maintaining runways and facilities and by managing the amenities and services that shape the airport experience for travelers and airport users. Policy direction comes from a 15-member board appointed by Minnesota’s governor and the mayors of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, with implementation handled by the commission’s leadership and staff. Funding is generated through rents and fees paid by airport users rather than general tax dollars. In January 2026, James Lawrence was named chair of the Metropolitan Airports Commission, reflecting ongoing leadership changes.
