Location

San Diego, United States

Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport (IATA: MYF, ICAO: KMYF) is a public general aviation airport located in the Kearny Mesa district of San Diego, California. It is owned and operated by the City of San Diego and serves as one of the busiest general aviation facilities in the region. The airport is named in honor of John J. Montgomery, a pioneering aviation figure who conducted early glider experiments in California, and James Gibbs, a local aviation advocate. It primarily serves private aircraft, charter flights, flight training, and corporate aviation rather than scheduled commercial airline service. With two runways and a variety of fixed-base operators (FBOs) on site, MYF supports a wide range of general aviation activities. Its proximity to central San Diego makes it a convenient option for business travelers and private pilots operating in the greater San Diego area.
