Fly private from McClellan-Palomar Airport
McClellan-Palomar Airport, owned by the County of San Diego, serves Carlsbad and North San Diego County as the area's principal general aviation and business jet airport. Its single 4,897-foot runway is sized for light and midsize jets rather than the largest cabin classes.
Élan Aviation coordinates the aircraft, crew, and ground handling for private flights out of CRQ, matching light and midsize jets to the field's runway performance and your trip's range and payload.
CRQ is a practical departure point for Carlsbad, Encinitas, and North County coastal travelers heading to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, the Southwest, or destinations up and down the California coast, without the drive to Downtown San Diego.
