Santa Maria Public Airport (IATA: SMX, ICAO: KSMX, FAA LID: SMX), also known as the Capt. G. Allan Hancock Field, is an airport located three miles (5 km) south of the central business district of Santa Maria, a city in northern Santa Barbara County, California, United States. History
The airport was built by the United States Army during World War II, known as Santa Maria Army Air Field. Its primary mission was to provide training for B-25 pilots, however flight training was abandoned by December 1942. The field fell into a state of disuse until the arrival of the P-38 in September 1943.
After the war, Santa Barbara County and the City of Santa Maria acquired the land and facilities through a series of two grants in 1948. In 1964 the Army Air Field was renamed Santa Maria Public Airport.
Facilities and aircraft
Santa Maria Public Airport covers an area of 2,516 acres (1,018 ha) which contains two asphalt paved runways: 12/30 measuring 6,304 x 150 ft (1,921 x 46 m) and 2/20 measuring 5,130 x 75 ft (1,564 x 23 m).
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2007, the airport had 62,480 aircraft operations, an average of 171 per day: 79% general aviation, 19% air taxi, 2% military and <1% scheduled commercial. There are 243 aircraft based at this airport: 83% single-engine, 7% multi-engine, 6% helicopter, 3% jet, <1% glider and <1% ultralight.
Expansion
The airport hopes to expand one of its runways in the hope to attract new airlines. Allegiant Air has also expanded air service from Las Vegas to Santa Maria adding a Monday flight to its schedule. Airport officials have recently opened the new, approximately 4,000-square-foot (370 m) baggage claim facility, and have repaired the cracks in the floor. It is one of the first airports on the Central Coast to use a state of the art baggage carousel (in a smaller scale) to deliver luggage to passengers.
A new passenger terminal holding room was recently opened. The old area was able to accommodate only 30 passengers. To handle the larger crowds of passengers that Allegiant Air flights bring, the new holding room accommodates 200 passengers and has enough room for a new cafe.
Usage
Nov 2007 to October 2008: 56,553 passengers (SkyWest), 53,294 passengers (Allegiant), total 109,847 passengers. Nov 2008 to October 2009, 48,117 passengers (SkyWest), 37,570 passengers (Allegiant), total 85,687 passengers.
