Learn about general aviation (GA) airports, the people who fly GA aircraft and why, and how GA airports support local businesses and communities.

Did you know there are more than 200 GA airports/heliports in Minnesota? Six of those are operated by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC).

Did you know airports that use federal funds for making improvements to their infrastructure must ensure 24-hour access to their facilities for aircraft operations? It is a stipulation of the airport authority's agreement with the federal government. The MAC uses federal funds at each of its six GA airports.

Did you know you can find information on current activity and past flights that landed or departed out of the MAC's GA airports at: macnoms.com/?

LVN - Airlake Airport in Lakeville, MN - metroairports.org/our-airports/airlake-airport
