Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority

Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority (MSCAA) owns and operates Memphis International Airport (MEM), as well as two general aviation airports, General DeWitt Spain airport near downtown and Charles W. Baker airport in Millington. MSCAA is responsible for the operation and maintenance of runways and airport buildings and facilities. The Memphis Airport Police Department is also part of MSCAA. The Airport Authority is self-funded and receives no local tax revenue. MSCAA’s annual budget is approximately $118 million.

There are approximately 300 full-time and 35 seasonal employees of MSCAA.

MSCAA is governed by a seven-member board of commissioners. Five are appointed by the Mayor of Memphis and two are appointed by the Shelby County Mayor. All MSCAA board member nominations must be approved by the Memphis City Council, and the commissioners serve seven-year terms.
