St. Paul Downtown Airport (STP) is the only airport in the MAC reliever system with a runway longer than 5,000’. As such, the airport is a popular draw for larger corporate jet aircraft. Of the airport’s three runways, Runway 14-32, is the longest, measuring 6,491’ x 150’. Nestled along the Mississippi River, with scenic limestone bluffs on one side and downtown St. Paul on the other, and served by an FAA-operated air traffic control tower, the airport offers easy access to many local businesses and amenities. In 2017 the MAC completed significant renovations of the historic airport terminal, creating infrastructure to house a restaurant and catering service. STP has the fewest based aircraft in the MAC system but ranks third for aircraft operations. Prior to initiating the long-term planning update for STP the MAC is conducting a broader system-level assessment of the three primary reliever airports (ANE, FCM and STP) and the general aviation activity at MSP.
