Welcome to the
Minnesota Council of Airports web site
The Minnesota Council of Airports (MCOA) provides
and shares with airport officials an understanding of mutual concerns affecting Minnesota
air transportation through meetings, conferences and correspondence. We provide
information to all Minnesota airports, with special consideration for the smaller
airports. It is important to us that access to and education about state-of-the-art
technology in airport maintenance and operation be available to all.
We work closely with and provide an opportunity for
members to work in close cooperation with the Minnesota Department of Transportation,
Office of Aeronautics. MCOA works jointly with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation, Office of Aeronautics to identify
and solve problems and fulfill needs. In addition, we provide a unified voice on
critical aviation legislation in both the state and national arena.
Minnesota airports are among the best in
the nation. MCOA recognizes this achievement with annual awards. We encourage managers
and employees to continually strive toward quality and innovative improvements.
MCOA also offers annual scholarships to college students enrolled in aviation
and aviation management programs.
MCOA was formed to provide airport owners and
operators with a forum for information exchange to improve airports and aviation in the
state. Our primary focus is to:
- Promote and support safety within the aviation
industry
- Provide guidance and support to the membership in
their airport operations
- Work with federal, state, and local offices and
agencies to enhance aviation facilities and capabilities statewide
- Provide guidance and support to the membership when
dealing with legislative issues that affect aviation
- Promote new product development and provide a forum
to educate the membership
- Ensure the membership and organization are
participants in the development of the State Aviation System Plan (SASP) and its
integration into the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS)
