Southwest Airlines to Serve Minneapolis - St. Paul International Airport (MSP)

nospam@example.com (Gus) — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 01:46:55 -0400

Southwest Airlines is to begin service in March 2009 from Minneapolis - St. Paul International Airport (MSP) to Chicago Midway Airport. The announcement follows years of effort by the Metropolitan Airport Commission.

MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL (October 1st 2008) - Low-fare giant Southwest Airlines today announced it will begin serving Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) in March 2009, with service to Chicago's Midway Airport (MDW).

From Chicago, Southwest travelers can catch flights to nearly 50 cities throughout the United States.

Southwest Airlines' long-sought decision to begin service to Minneapolis-St. Paul International promises tremendous benefits to the airport, to Minnesota, and to the Upper Midwest region said Jack Lanners, chairman of the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which owns and operates MSP. Competition helps keep air fares low and provides options to travelers to and from Minnesota.

The Metropolitan Airports Commission has worked for more than a decade to gain service from Southwest Airlines, Lanners said. We met numerous times with Southwest leaders in Minneapolis, Dallas, and elsewhere, provided tours of our newly expanded airport, and successfully made the case that the Twin Cities are an ideal location for Southwest service, Lanners said.

Perhaps most important, despite a recently completed $3 billion expansion program, we have managed to keep the airport's cost structure for airlines among the lowest in the industry. We also incorporated safeguards into our leases to ensure we have gates and facilities available to air carriers that want to begin and grow service at Minneapolis-St. Paul International. I am confident Southwest's service will be very successful here and look forward to helping the airline get established and grow in this market.

nospam@example.com (Gus) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 18:53:16 -0400

MSP had been the only major airport without concessions outside of the security checkpoints. A Starbucks had opened near the Baggage Claim area, and now a Houihan's Restaurant is available near ticketing. So if you are seeing friends or family off, or picking them up, you now have someplace to wait or to meet them at.

Minneapolis - St Paul International Aiport (August 26, 2008) -- The Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport's first pre-security, full service restaurant is now open. Houlihan's Restaurant, which opened Tuesday, August 26, is located near Security Checkpoint 1 in the ticketing lobby of the Lindbergh Terminal. It is open every day from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

One of the most frequent requests we've received in recent years has been for an airport restaurant accessible to travelers and visitors alike, said Jack Lanners, Chairman of the Metropolitan Airports Commission. With the opening of Houlihan's, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport offers the perfect venue in which to see loved ones off, welcome home family members, or meet friends catching a connecting flight. Houlihan's is a welcomed new amenity and one more reason for travelers to make Minneapolis-St. Paul International their airport of choice.

The restaurant will offer the same scratch cooking' that sets Houlihan's apart from its competition. Guests to the new Houlihan's will find all of their favorite meals including Thai chile buffalo wings, mini martini flights and French-fried asparagus. This 4,500-square-foot restaurant boasts an interior of dark woods and bright welcoming colors throughout. The open kitchen welcomes guests who can choose to sit at the walk-around bar, the patio area or the dining room.
