Ampco System Parking Awarded Contract With Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport

The contract covers parking management operations for more than 18,000 parking spaces at the seventh busiest airport in the world.

“We are pleased to be selected as the parking operator for Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport which is currently ranked among the top five airports worldwide for overall customer satisfaction,” said Thomas Barnett, president of Ampco System Parking.

"Parking is an important traveler convenience and a vital revenue source for the airport, which does not receive state or local tax dollars for operation,” said Arlie Johnnson, assistant airport director for Landside Operations. “We are gratified to have a company with the reputation and experience of Ampco System Parking at the helm to help ensure the parking experience at Minneapolis-St. Paul International is second to none," Johnnson added.

Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) is one of the busiest airports in the world, with more than a half million takeoffs and landings each year. In 2004, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was named Best Airport in the Americas and Best Domestic Airport by the International Air Transport Association and Airports Council International. In 2003, J.D. Power and Associates named MSP the third highest ranked airport in the world in customer satisfaction. Currently, the airport is awaiting the completion of a $3 billion expansion program designed to further provide travelers with safety, efficiency and an enjoyable experience.
