Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport (MYF), also known as KMYF, is a centrally located public-use airport just six miles north of downtown San Diego, California. As one of Southern California’s busiest general aviation airports, MYF supports private jet operations, business aviation, and flight training. The airport is a preferred arrival point for travelers headed to La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, and the University City corridor.
Due to its relatively short runway, Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport is best suited for light jets, midsize jets, and turboprops. The 4,577-foot runway length may restrict access for large cabin and ultra-long-range jets, making MYF ideal for shorter regional flights and business travel within the Western U.S. and Mexico.
JetOptions Private Jets arranges charter flights to and from MYF, providing flexibility and privacy for clients flying to San Diego’s business, leisure, and academic districts. With 24/7 concierge service, JetOptions coordinates aircraft selection, inflight amenities, and ground transportation to nearby destinations such as La Jolla, Pacific Beach, downtown San Diego, and Del Mar.
JetOptions also offers charter access at McClellan-Palomar Airport (CLD) in Carlsbad and San Diego International Airport (SAN) for clients requiring longer runways or larger aircraft. Both airports feature full-service FBOs and can accommodate heavier private jets and international arrivals with U.S. Customs on-site.
Montgomery-Gibbs is located in the Kearny Mesa business district, near major thoroughfares including I-805 and Highway 163. It is within a short drive of top San Diego attractions like the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Mission Bay, and Torrey Pines. Its central location makes it a select choice for business and leisure travelers arriving by private jet.
MYF features multiple full-service Fixed Base Operators offering fueling, aircraft parking, pilot services, and executive lounges. These include Crownair Aviation and San Diego Jet Center, each equipped to support high-volume private aviation activity with professional ground services and amenities.
