Driving Directions to Anoka/Blaine Airport via MapQuest®
Serving one of the most rapidly growing portions of the metro area, Anoka County - Blaine Airport is the largest of the reliever airports. The facility serves the most diverse aircraft mix in the reliever system and is located 20 to 30 minutes from the business districts of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Corporate jet aircraft operators, recreational pilots and many antique aircraft owners call the airport home.
The airport has a contract air traffic control tower, a 4,855-foot north-south runway and a 5,000-foot east-west runway equipped witha an instrument landing system(ILS). Two full-service operators and a number of single-service operators are based at the airport.
The airport supports more than 80,000 takeoffs and landings annually. There are 490 aircraft based at the airport.
Through a unique agreement, Anoka County is leasing a 39-acre northwest building area for storage and commercial hangars from the MAC. Anoka County has elected to sub-lease the acreage to a private developer who would complete the site preparation, connect to sewer, water and storm sewers, and build alleyways and hangars. This area is now available for lease to those interested. The county built a road to the new building area and will maintain all improvements during the 28 to 30 year lease term.
Other planned improvements at the Anoka County-Blaine Airport include improved instrumentation, the possible addition of runways parallel to each existing runway, and an extension of the existing east-west runway to 5,000 feet. Development of aircraft hangar and storage on the east, west and possibly south sides of the airport are also possible in the future.
