Airlake Airport (ICAO: KLVN, FAA LID: LVN) is a public airport located in the southern suburbs of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, near the communities of Lakeville and Farmington in Dakota County, about 22 miles (35 km) south of the central business district of Minneapolis. It is owned by the Metropolitan Airports Commission.^[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Airlake Airport is assigned LVN by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA.^[2]

Airlake Airport covers an area of 425 acres (172 ha) and contains one asphalt paved runway designated 12/30 which measures 4,098 x 75 ft (1,249 x 23 m).
