Airport Administration

The County Airports Administration is authorized by the Santa Clara County Code (Section A13-13 (c)) to "Plan, design, construct, maintain and operate County airports." The Board of Supervisors determines the level of service to be provided at the airports, and the Santa Clara County Airports Commission provides advice, studies, and recommendations to the Board on Airport issues.

The County Airports are funded through the Airport Enterprise Fund which consists of the revenue generated from airport user fees. Some special projects receive additional funding from the FAA and Caltrans.
