Nothing like a Egg McMuffin, hash brown and a coffee just as you're about to hop on your flight, right?

Earlier this year, regular fliers at Minneapolis/St. Paul International were a little miffed to learn that McDonalds would no longer be a staple of the concourse, the Star Tribune reported.

However, an early Sunday-morning tweet from @MSP airport suggested that the golden arches may be returning to the state's biggest transportation hub. We'll keep an eye on this one.

“MPS requires schools to follow protocols in times like that and I did not,” Friestleben said.

McDonald's french fries or Big Macs are no longer an option at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport, at least for now. The Star Tribune reports the fast-food chain was forced out of its location in Concourse G once Delta Air Lines decided it wanted to give travelers some new options. The Golden Arches can relocate within the Humphrey terminal, but has yet to do so.

The Delta Air Lines plane was headed to Orlando when an indicator light came on shortly after takeoff. WCCO reports the pilot shut down the engine and safely returned to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Friday night.

The Wyoming-based airline plans to offer flights to 14 destinations from the Twin Cities by the end of the year, according to the Star Tribune. Great Lakes Airlines is looking to profit from rural routes large carriers have abandoned by eliminating soft drinks, flight attendants and bathrooms.

Spirit Airlines is already expanding its service out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Starting in April 2013, Spirit will add non-stop flights to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The Florida-based airline will also offer seasonal non-stop service to Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers between Nov. 8 through April 24, 2013. Spirit debuted in the Twin Cities market less than two months ago with daily flights to Chicago and Las Vegas.

Great Lakes Airlines is taking over for Delta, which is discontinuing flights between the Twin Cities and South Dakota's Capitol city at the end of January. Pierre's mayor is hoping the airline will add a second daily round-trip flight in the future.

Twitter is abuzz with news that Spirit Airlines is joining the Twin Cities airport. The carrier calls itself an ultra-low-cost option, but writers at the Washington Post and USA Today warn travelers to watch out for hefty fees.

The airline says about 150 jobs will be affected. The Star Tribune reports the move is meant to save the company money. In a memo to workers, Delta said it must control costs to maintain a competitive advantage.

The Star Tribune reports a flight was abruptly canceled after the pilot, co-pilot and flight attendant were pulled off the job. A spokesman for Pinnacle Airlines, which operates the flight, did not specify the reason for the action but did say the airline has a more strict standard on alcohol use than the FAA.
