About Salinas Municipal Airport
Salinas Municipal Airport is the main general aviation airport serving Salinas and the surrounding Monterey County area. Opened in 1941 as Salinas Army Air Field, it supported wartime training and nearby Fort Ord before being transferred to the City of Salinas for civilian use after the Second World War.
Located about three miles southeast of downtown Salinas, the airport serves private, business, and charter aviation rather than scheduled commercial airline service. It has two asphalt runways and a terminal building, and plays an important role for the Salinas Valley's agricultural and business community as well as visitors heading to the Monterey Bay region.
The airport sits close to Highway 101, making it easy to reach downtown Salinas, Monterey, Carmel, and other Central Coast destinations by car, taxi, rental car, or private transfer.
With FBO services, a terminal lounge, restaurant facilities, and ground transportation options, Salinas Municipal Airport functions as a practical general aviation gateway for the Salinas Valley and California's Central Coast.
