Chandler Field
Chandler Field serves Alexandria, a small city in west-central Minnesota known locally as a gateway to the state's lake country. The airport sits at 1,425 feet above sea level and operates two runways, more than many comparable regional fields in the Upper Midwest carry. Nearby airports include Saint Cloud Regional about 110 kilometers away, Brainerd Lakes Regional at roughly 114 kilometers, and Redwood Falls Municipal around 149 kilometers out, each serving its own pocket of rural Minnesota. AXN mostly handles general aviation and small commercial flights rather than major airline traffic, consistent with a regional field rather than a metropolitan hub.
