San Bernardino's mayor Pat Morris announced that the airport will be taking passenger flights in late 2008 and will feature inexpensive flights. The airport will have its primary access from I-10 and I-215 off Mill Street.
U.S. Customs Service agents are available on call to clear imported goods. The airport is used as a base for United States Forest Service planes fighting forest fires. Several hangars that were formerly empty have recently been occupied by civilian-owned aircraft maintenance companies. The runway is 10,000 feet long, easily accommodating air cargo aircraft. However, UPS and Federal Express choose to use LA/Ontario International Airport to the west, while DHL uses the March Air Reserve Base to the south.
The airport and surrounding areas are within the City of San Bernardino, California, and the Inland Valley Development Agency. The airport and surrounding areas are being redeveloped by Hillwood.
The airport temporarily housed SAM 27000 while the Air Force One Pavilion at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library was under construction.
Several major projects for the former air base and surrounding area are imminent or already under way, including Stater Bros. Markets moved its corporate headquarters from Colton to the former air base site in September 2007. The 170,000-square-foot (16,000 m²) offices are completed. Stater Bros. began moving warehousing and distribution operations into a 2,100,000-square-foot (195,000 m²) facility in February 2007. Part of a $300 million-plus total investment in the city, the warehouse is the largest supermarket distribution facility in the nation, Brown said.
