Alliiance has teamed with the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on over 600 projects totaling in excess of $1.5B. We have maintained a satellite office within the terminal since 1978.

The airport’s mission is to “provide [their] customers the best airport experience in North America.” Alliiance’s planning and design leadership has been an important contributor towards fulfilling this mission. In 2024, MSP was voted the #1 airport in North America by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine based on design concessions and ease of use. The airport has won more awards for its concession program—designed by Alliiance—than any other airport in North America. MSP has also been voted Best Large Airport in North America by Airports Council International (ACI) for seven of the last eight years in part for its design, passenger friendliness, and concessions.

Our work at MSP has touched on every aspect of the airport environment ranging from high profile award-winning terminal and concourse projects to highly technical security and baggage-systems projects; from utilitarian back-of-house maintenance projects to airline fit-ups and Executive Clubs.
