About Cliff Hatfield Memorial Airport

Cliff Hatfield Memorial Airport is a city-owned, public-use general aviation airport serving Calipatria, a city in Imperial County, California. The airport is located about one nautical mile (2 km) northwest of central Calipatria and roughly five statute miles (8 km) southeast of the Salton Sea.

The facility was activated in November 1941 and covers about 200 acres, with a single asphalt runway, Runway 8/26, measuring 3,423 by 50 feet. It is an unattended airport without a control tower, and it primarily supports private, charter, business and agricultural aviation rather than scheduled commercial airline service.

Because the airport sits close to Calipatria, road transfers between the airport and the city centre typically take only a few minutes. Local roads connect the airport to surrounding Imperial Valley communities, allowing travelers to continue by private vehicle or pre-arranged transfer to nearby destinations such as Brawley, El Centro and the Salton Sea area.

Passenger amenities are limited on site, with no fuel, repair or terminal services available at the airport itself. Most services can be found in nearby Calipatria and other Imperial County communities, making advance planning useful for visiting pilots and passengers.
