Lake Elmo (21D) - 2024 Annual Report

Lake Elmo Airport (21D)

2024 Annual Report

Located between the city of St. Paul to the west and the St. Croix River to the east, Lake Elmo Airport (21D) is convenient for both business and leisure flying.

In 2024, the airport had more than 41,000 takeoffs and landings, which is comparable to 2023. 

Lake Elmo Airport has emerged as a destination for aspiring flight training students thanks to a local business that has crafted a core curriculum dedicated to training pilots living in the Washington County area. Many of the airport users reside nearby and are actively involved with science, technology, engineering and math learning initiatives at local schools. 

In 2024, the MAC rehabilitated the access road pavement on the airfield’s north side, leading from Manning Avenue into the hangar area, to make it easier to access the hangers. The MAC also completed design work for a secondary equipment storage facility to accommodate airport maintenance vehicles.
