Welcome to Santa Paula Airport

Nestled in the valley, just 1 mile east of the central business district of Santa Paula city, KSZP is a privately owned, public use airport with a big heart. Despite our size, we are proud to say that we are home to over 300 general aviation aircraft, with nearly 100,000 arrivals and departures every year!

If you're planning a trip to Southern California (especially if you're heading to the north of Los Angeles), but you want to stay out of Class B airspace, and want a relaxed small city atmosphere with all the amenities, plus a very friendly place to land (and GREAT gas prices all year round!), then Santa Paula is the place for you! We have everything you need on site for you and your plane, and it's a quick hop to downtown Santa Paula and a leisurely drive down the 101 or via Santa Clarita to LA.

*** Santa Paula Airport has antique aircraft on display the First Sunday of each month ***
