About Martindale Army Heliport
Martindale Army Heliport is a U.S. Army aviation facility located about 5 miles (8 km) east of downtown San Antonio, Texas. It supports U.S. Army and Texas Army National Guard aviation operations rather than commercial airline service.
The heliport is operated for military use, with landing restricted to approved aircraft and prior permission required. Its facilities include a single concrete runway (18/36) and heliport infrastructure serving Army and National Guard missions.
Because it is a private military heliport, there are no public passenger terminals, airline check-in, commercial shops, or scheduled flights. Civilian travelers in the area generally use nearby public airports such as San Antonio International Airport or Stinson Municipal Airport.
The site is reached by road from San Antonio and sits near the community of Kirby. For authorized personnel and visitors, access is coordinated through the Texas Army National Guard, and onward travel to San Antonio and surrounding areas is available by private vehicle or pre-arranged ground transportation.
