The closest airport in the region is Flying Cloud Regional Airport (FCM) which is owned and operated by the Metropolitan Airports Commision. The airport has three runways with varying lengths, these lengths are; 5,000 feet, 3,900 feet and 2,691 feet. FCM is approximately 1.5 miles north of Shakopee. This reletive proximity of the airport puts Shakopee within the airport's "Influence Area". This influence area is shared with the cities of Eden Praire and Chanhassen. Flying Cloud Airport does not pose noticable noise impacts to the residents of Shakopee and is not envisioned to do so in the future. The airport is a reliever airport which mainly handles smaller crafts in support of the more significant MSP.
