Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (a former Northwest hub and a current hub for Delta Air Lines) doesn't get many heavies (with Delta and KLM as the exceptions), but regional jets definitely frequent MSP 24/7. Seeing the heavies from foreign airlines (Condor and Air France) is one of the big highlights during the summer months. KLM has recently moved their flights from a seasonal schedule to having flights year-round with the 787 Dreamliner. | Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (a former Northwest Airlines hub and a current hub for Delta Air Lines) doesn't get many heavies (with Delta and KLM as the exceptions), but regional jets definitely frequent MSP 24/7.

Heavies (including some 757s) and regional jets will mainly use 12R/30L and 12L/30R, respectively. This shortens the length of their taxi routes to their assigned gates. Additionally, heavies will usually be assigned gates on Concourse G. Charters (usually about the size of a 737 or a 757) will park near Signature Flight Support, directly across from concourses G and F. | Heavies (including some 757s) and regional jets will mainly use 12R/30L and 12L/30R, respectively.
