Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (IATA code: SBA) is a small airport west of downtown Santa Barbara, California (USA). The airport is 7 miles (11 km) west of downtown Santa Barbara, a coastal city in California.
The airport is a focus city for Contour Airlines. In August 2011 the airport opened a newly refurbished 72,000 square foot terminal. Airlines that fly to the airport provide domestic services to major hubs across America, including to the states of California, Washington, and Colorado.
Three runways are in use: 7/25 and two parallel runways, 15/33.
The Santa Barbara Airport terminal consists of one small, modern terminal. The refurbished terminal is filled with artworks and frescoes; the whitewashed architecture of the building is reminiscent of a Spanish village. The terminal has four gates, and amenities include a restaurant and gift shop, which are both Airside. Because of its very small size, it is easy to navigate around the airport building.
Santa Barbara Municipal Airport is primarily served by the following airlines:
A bus connects to the airport from Moffat Road, which is just across from the airport.
There are a number of car rental companies with onsite facilities, including Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, and National.
Taxis can be picked up from outside the terminal entrance.
