Aviation in Minnesota

2018 is a year for celebrating several important milestones in Minnesota aviation history. Eighty-five years ago, in April 1933, the Minnesota Aeronautics Commission was established by an act of the Minnesota Legislature. That commission was replaced 75 years ago when the Department of Aeronautics, a predecessor of the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s Aeronautics and Aviation Division, was created in 1943.  Also celebrating a 75th anniversary this year is the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC).

The celebrations will continue in 2019. Next year is the 100th anniversary of the issuance of the first commercial airport license in Minnesota. While there were earlier landing fields in the state, the license issued to Curtiss Northwest Airport in Falcon Heights in April 1919 was an historic ‘first’ in Minnesota. For another look at the state’s aviation history, Minnesota History Magazine published a fascinating article, “Minnesota in the World of Aviation”, in its Summer 1953 issue.

While Curtiss Northwest Airport is long gone, airports now dot the state’s landscape. MNDOT’s recently-updated Minnesota Airport Directory & Travel Guide is both a useful guide for the aviation community and an interesting compilation of data about each of the state’s airports. The “travel guide” component directs the user to food, lodging, camping, and local attractions near each airport. It’s a good reminder that airports are important contributors to local economies. Measuring the economic impact of the state’s airports has been the focus of several studies in recent years:

The Legislative library’s collection includes hundreds of titles related to aviation. Contact a librarian at 651-296-8338 or refdesk@lrl.leg.mn for additional information.
