Airlake Airport (ICAO: KLVN, FAA LID: LVN) is a public use airport in Dakota County, Minnesota, United States.[1] Owned by the Metropolitan Airports Commission, It is approximately 20 miles (32 km) south of both downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul[2] [1] The airport is located near the Twin Cities suburbs of Lakeville and Farmington.
This facility is included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, which categorized it as a general aviation reliever airport.[3]
Although many U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned LVN by the FAA[1] but has no designation from the IATA.[4][5]

Future plans include new hangars in the southwest corner of the airfield, expanding the primary runway to 4,600 feet (1,400 m) and developing a 2,500-foot (760 m) crosswind runway.
There is one fixed-base operator (FBO), Aircraft Resource Center.
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2014, the airport had 34,174 aircraft operations, an average of 94 per day, 95% general aviation, 4% air taxi and 1% military. In January 2017, there were 108 aircraft based at this airport: 99 single-engine and 9 multi-engine.[1]
