Livermore Municipal Airport is three miles west of Livermore, California, in Alameda County, California. The Federal Aviation Administration National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021 categorized it as a regional reliever facility.
Livermore Municipal Airport was completed and ready for use in December 1965. The new airport encompassed 257 acres, a 4,000-foot asphalt runway with a parallel taxiway, an aircraft parking apron with 100 tie-downs, a beacon, a lighted wind cone and segmented circle, and 50 based aircraft. In 1969, Livermore Airport recorded 269,600 operations. In 1970, the first hangars and T-shelters were constructed and an air traffic control tower was added in 1973.
A comprehensive Airport Master Plan was completed in 1975 to identify facility improvements to meet the growing demand for local air transportation services. A precision instrument approach landing system was added to Runway 7L-25R in 1979. An Environmental Impact Report was completed in 1982. In 1985, a 2,699-foot parallel runway was constructed to ease congestion on the main runway. At the same time, the southwest apron area was constructed to provide for additional aircraft parking. Additional hangars were constructed on the Airport’s southside in 1987. An extension of the main runway to 5,255 feet followed in 1989.
Increasing problems with the encroachment of incompatible land uses around the Airport caused the City of Livermore to engage a consultant to study the viability of an Airport Protection Area. As a result of the study, the City and the Alameda County Airport Land Use Commission adopted an APA area around the Airport in which residential development is prohibited.
Since 1985, Livermore Municipal Airport has made over $25 million in facility improvements, including the cost of property acquisition to enhance protection of approaches to the runways. Today, the Livermore Municipal Airport encompasses 590 acres, 392 hangars of various sizes and shapes, 249 tie-downs, 9 shelters, and is home to 580 based aircraft. In calendar year 1993, Livermore Municipal Airport was the 11th busiest Airport in California with 282,631 operations. In 2022, that number has dropped to 197,236 annual operations.
The airport has no scheduled airline service; the closest commercial airports are Oakland International Airport and San Jose International Airport. In the 1976-1977 OAG the regional airline California Air Commuter had scheduled service listed at Livermore, using Piper Navajos.
