2017 Report

This report provides the volume of international passengers arriving at Minneapolis - St. Paul International Airport (MSP) based upon their country of origin. This report is solely based on passenger itineraries and does not designate passenger nationality. For example, a passenger may have started in South Africa, flew to India, then France and on to MSP. We are able to identify South Africa as their point of origin if on a single itinerary.

Source statistics are from Diio (https://diio.net), a division of FlightGlobal. Diio utilizes data from the U.S.

Department of Transportation, which has a 4 to 6 months lag time between actual travel dates and the

release of information. Due to this lag the Metropolitan Airports Commission will release the next annual

report in July 2019.
