TRAFFIC COUNTS CONTINUE TO RISE
In October, San Marcos Regional saw an 53% increase in traffic counts from October 2016. Keep in mind these numbers do not include flights that occur outside of the tower's operational hours. Overall, the counts for the 2017 fiscal year are up approx 34.4%!
The increased activity reflected in these traffic counts helps us secure funding for future airport projects and improvements.

RESERVED TIE-DOWNS
On December 6, 2016, Council established rates for reserved tie-downs on the ramp. These rates only apply to users and tenants who wish to establish and mark a specific location on the ramp for their aircraft. However, general parking will still be available and permitted at no cost.
We're in the process of marking and numbering 60 tie-downs on the ramp. Of those, 35 are currently reserved. Please take care to avoid parking in marked spaces.
If you're interested in reserving a tie-down for your aircraft or for you transient customers, please give us a call at (512) 216-6039.

ACCESS GATES ARE ACTIVE
On Monday, September 4, 2017, the airport gates were activated.
Visitors or those making deliveries can access the ramp by using one of three (3) gates controlled by Berry Aviation and Redbird Skyport (Gates 1, 2, and 4).
The main objective for the fence and gate system is to limit unauthorized vehicles on the ramp and around taxiing aircraft. The maps above show the gate locations and public parking areas (shown in green) to be utilized by guests and visitors.
If you need access to the ramp, please call the office at (512) 216-6039.
