The Livermore Municipal Airport (LVK) is playing an increasingly important role in the future development of the Tri-Valley. With the Tri-Valley population projected to increase approximately 25% in the next 15 years, the Airport will be called upon to serve the growing air transportation needs of local businesses, as well as many area residents.
The Livermore Airport, a Division of the Public Services Department, is owned and operated by the City of Livermore. The Airport is a General Aviation Airport which serves private, business, and corporate tenants and customers. The airport is located three miles northwest of the City of Livermore adjacent to the Las Positas Golf Course and the Water Reclamation Plant and is situated on 643 acres. The facility has two parallel runways: a 5,255' lighted main runway, and 2,700' unlighted training runway.
The Airport contains 24 City-owned buildings that consist of 392 aircraft storage hangar units, a 2,400 SF Terminal building, an aircraft storage shelter, and a corporate-style hangar building containing 18,000 SF of hangar space and 2,400 SF of office space. The airport owns and operates a 45,000-gallon underground aviation fuel storage facility, dispenses fuel via four tank trucks, and maintains a 24-hour self-serve fuel island with two pumps. The Airport has 250 ramp tie-down aircraft parking spaces of which over 100 are currently rented. All hangars are rented and there is a waiting list of over 200 persons.
The airport has approximately 600 based aircraft, over 150,000 annual aircraft operations and sells over 650,000 gallons of aviation fuel each year. The airfield is accessible 24 hours a day and is attended by city employees during the hours listed under “Airport Services".
