KAXN is the ICAO code for Chandler Field (IATA AXN), located in Alexandria, MN.
Chandler Field (KAXN) is a medium airport in Alexandria, MN. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KAXN or IATA code AXN. It sits in North America.
Chandler Field is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,099-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.
The longest runway measures 5,099 ft (1,554 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.
Chandler Field lies at 1,425 ft elevation.
Local operations run on America/Chicago. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.
SkyAccess currently tracks 61 departing and 89 arriving private-jet legs at KAXN across the next six months of operator inventory. 4 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.
Regional fields like KAXN are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
