Livermore Municipal Airport ( IATA: LVK, ICAO: KLVK) is three miles west of Livermore, California, in Alameda County, California. [1] The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorized it as a regional reliever facility. [2]
The airport has no scheduled airline service; the closest commercial airports are Oakland International Airport and San Jose International Airport. In the 1976-1977 OAG the regional airline California Air Commuter had scheduled service listed at Livermore, using Piper Navajos.
Livermore Municipal Airport covers 644 acres (261 ha) at an elevation of 400 feet (122 m). It has two asphalt runways: [1]
The airport has one asphalt helipad: H1 is 24 by 22 feet (7.3 m × 6.7 m).
In the year ending May 1, 2018 the airport had 148,153 aircraft operations, average 424 per day: 98% general aviation, 1% air taxi, <1% airline and <1% military. In September 2018, 461 aircraft were based at this airport: 417 single-engine, 33 multi-engine, 6 jet, and 5 helicopter. [1]
Besides the 8,400-square-foot (780 m2) terminal building, [4] built in 2015, there are nearly 400 aircraft storage hangar units, a corporate-style hangar building containing 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) of space and an aircraft storage shelter.
In 2021 KaiserAir filed a letter of intent to expand to Livermore Municipal Airport:
In 2022, local government officials said that it appeared that KaiserAir was "not moving forward" with their originally proposed project. [6]
