    (University of Minnesota Duluth, 2025-01) Haynes, Monica; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Ion, Ethan; Nevills, Sophia; Shaw, Sam
    In partnership with Giant Voices, the Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) at the University of Minnesota Duluth was tasked with evaluating Duluth International Airport’s (DLH) economic impact on the state of Minnesota. The study focuses on five categories of airport business activity: airport management, on-airport business tenants, capital investments, and spending by visitors arriving via commercial and general aviation. Our analysis estimates that, in total, DLH supports over 4,000 full-time jobs annually, contributing $284.8 million in labor income and $1.4 billion in output to the state’s economy. This represents direct, indirect, and induced effects across the five areas noted in the full report.
