Private Airports in California

Most airports are owned by local, state and federal government, and lease out the property and facilities to private companies who then oversee the day-to-day operations. Private airports are owned and operated by individuals or organizations and provide a number of services to pilots and travelers. Many of these airports offer flying lessons for prospective pilots or take individuals out skydiving. Other private airports focus their attention on the maintenance and service of privately-owned airplanes and ensure they are ready for arrivals and departures at all times.
