Airport Input
City staff will present a proposal for Santa Monica Airport’ proposed Minimum Standards for commercial aeronautical service providers, and the comments received during the extended public comment period, to the Santa Monica Airport Commission for its review July 23.
According to City staff, the Minimum Standards, if adopted, will establish entry benchmarks that the City would use to determine whether and under what conditions an aeronautical service provider could conduct a commercial operation at the Santa Monica Airport.
