Location

California City Municipal Airport (ICAO: KL71) is a public general aviation airport located in California City, Kern County, California. It serves the local community and surrounding high desert region, primarily accommodating small private and recreational aircraft. The airport operates without scheduled commercial airline service and functions as a base for general aviation activities including flight training, private flying, and occasional charter operations. Its location in the Mojave Desert area makes it convenient for pilots operating in the region.
