Crystal Airport Crystal Airport (MIC) lies within the cities of Crystal, Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center in the northwest metro. The airport has three paved and one turf runway – the most runways of any MAC reliever airport as well as the only turf runway in the system. Runway 14R-32L is the longest, measuring 3,267’ x 75’. An FAA-operated air traffic control tower is located on site. Highlights of the adopted 2035 Long Term Comprehensive Plan for MIC include: Converting portions of paved blast pads on Runway 14L-32R to useable runway for a published length of 3,750’ with declared distances, and extending taxiways to new runway ends Shifting Runway 14L-32R 115’ to the northwest to locate the entire runway protection zone on MAC property Converting existing Runway 14R-32L into a full-length parallel taxiway Updating the runway designation to Utility, reducing runway protection zone dimensions Retaining a portion of the turf runway while reducing crossing points and airfield complexity 36 37
