Ham Lake International Airport
After years of pushing the rock up the hill, Northwest Airlines has finally filed the bankruptcy they have held off since 9/11, really much longer than that. Even if Northwest survives, and I think chances of that are even or better, there will likely be fewer total flights in and out of MSP.
It wasn't that long ago that our civic planners were busy drawing up plans for a new airport, remember? Ham Lake was the most frequently mentioned site. We were going to need much more capacity than MSP could possibly provide. The truth now is that we probably don't even need the Humphrey Charter Terminal anymore.
