Re-envisioning Whiteman Airport: A Community-driven Process

Located in the heart of the San Fernando Valley, Whiteman Airport has been serving the community for more than 70 years. The airport is home to more than 600 based aircraft—the most in the Los Angeles County system—and facilitated more than 116,000 takeoffs and landings in 2018. Businesses located at Whiteman Airport include a number of aircraft maintenance, flight training, and other aviation-oriented operations. The airport has experienced significant growth as an economic presence over the past several years. 

The County is engaged in a community informed re-envisioning process for the airport. The process includes environmental studies and community outreach to identify objectives that will reduce environmental impacts, realize economic benefits, and improve community relations. A Community Advisory Committee has been formed to facilitate community engagement. Read more about the Community Advisory Committee.
