Craig Field (IATA: SEM, ICAO: KSEM, FAA LID: SEM) is a local authority-owned public-use airport located 4 nautical miles (7 km) southeast of the central business district of Selma, a city in Dallas County, Alabama, United States.
DayJet provides an on-demand jet air taxi service from this airport to Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Macon, Savannah, Pensacola, Lakeland/Tampa, Opa-Locka/Miami Dade, Boca Raton, Naples, Sarasota/Bradenton.
Overview
Craig Field covers an area of 1,790 acres (2.797 sq mi; 7.244 km) which contains one runway designated 15/33 is 8,002 x 150 feet (2,439 x 46 meters) asphalt/concrete pavement. For the 12-month period ending September 28, 2006, the airport had 38,550 general aviation aircraft operations.
Although the former USAF air traffic control tower at Craig Field remains standing, as of 2007 it was unmanned and non-operational, with UNICOM being used as a common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF). Both parallel 8,000 foot runways still exist, but only one runway is currently operational while the other remains closed. The Craig VORTAC and the Instrument Landing System (ILS) for the current Runway 33 remain operational on the field. Current aircraft traffic averages approximately 106 daily operations, of which 83% are transient general aviation, 10% military (primarily Navy and USAF aircraft inbound to the L3 Communications/Vertex Aerospace facility) and 7% local general aviation or air taxi.
The former military family housing was sold to individual owners shortly after base closure and has seen significant decay as compared to its previous military occupants.
Multiple civilian government and corporate tenants have taken up residency, to include L3 Communications/Vertex Aerospace (formerly Raytheon Aerospace), which operates an aircraft repair facility at Craig Field primarily focused on supporting Navy T-34C, T-44A, TC-12F and Navy and USAF T-6A aircraft. The former on base elementary school continues to operate as the civilian-run Craig Elementary and the former base golf course continues to operate commercially as the Craig Golf Course and Driving Range. The Alabama Highway Patrol (AHP) also operates both its training academy and its headquarters for AHP's F Troop at Craig.
