Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport (MYF)

Same-Day Charter From Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport

Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport (MYF) is a dedicated general aviation field in Kearny Mesa, roughly six miles north of downtown San Diego. It is one of the busiest GA airports in the region and serves the central San Diego, La Jolla, and Mission Valley corridor without the commercial traffic of San Diego International (SAN).

For same-day charter, MYF is the practical option for anyone based in central or north San Diego who needs to be in the air quickly on a light jet. UrgentFlights.com sources available aircraft here and gets clients moving as fast as conditions allow. The team also works San Diego International when the route calls for a larger aircraft or longer runway, but for most short-notice light jet departures from the San Diego area, MYF offers the fastest path from kerb to aircraft.
