2019 Final Four
Special Air Traffic Procedures
Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota
April 5th through 9th, 2019
In anticipation of a large number of aircraft operating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan
area during the week of the 2019 Final Four, the following special air traffic procedures will be
used to minimize air traffic delays and enhance safety.
GENERAL:
Temporary routes have been instituted into/out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Terminal area to
optimize the traffic flow for the Minneapolis-St. Paul satellite airports. These temporary routings
are designed to increase the efficiency of the Minneapolis TRACON airspace minimize air
traffic delays. Note that some normal arrival and departure routes will not be available within
250nm of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Terminal Airspace between Friday April 5th and Tuesday,
April 9th. The preferred arrival and departures routes that have been modified for this event are
defined below for the airports within 60nm of US Bank Stadium. Airports that are not listed in
the Preferred Arrival and Departure Routes tables below should file and can expect normal
arrival and departure routings.
IFR airborne filings within the terminal area should not be expected. IFR changes of destination
will not be granted within 250nm of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Terminal Airspace except in
emergency situations. Duplicate flight plans (same time/call sign) to multiple airport destinations
are subject to removal from the system.
VFR MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL TERMINAL AREA OPERATIONS:
Class B airspace requirements apply. Due to the high volume of traffic related to the 2019
NCAA Final Four, VFR arrivals to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area may experience
lengthy delays outside of the Class B airspace until traffic volume permits safe entry and transit
of the airspace. Formation flights, practice approaches, multiple approaches, and touch and go
operations may be restricted in the terminal area. VFR advisory service within the terminal area
will be on a workload-permitting basis. Pilots are cautioned that Class B violators will be
aggressively pursued.MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL AREA AIRPORTS:
