Cable Airport (CCB)

Cable Airport (CCB), also known by its ICAO code KCCB, is a historic and unique aviation facility located in Upland, California, approximately 40 miles east of Los Angeles. Continuously operated by the Cable family since 1945, it holds the distinction of being the world's largest privately owned, public-use airport. Serving as a premier hub for general aviation in the Inland Empire, the airport acts as a critical center for flight training, aircraft maintenance, and the vibrant Southern California recreational flying community. The airport's infrastructure is centered around a well-maintained terminal area that caters specifically to the needs of private pilots and their passengers. Facilities include a full-service Fixed Base Operator (FBO) providing professional maintenance, hangar storage, and 24-hour self-service fueling (100LL Avgas). The terminal complex also houses a dedicated pilot's lounge for pre-flight planning and relaxation, as well as an aviation museum that chronicles the airport's rich history and its role in the development of American general aviation. While the terminal is compact compared to major commercial hubs, it offers a high level of personalized service and a seamless 'airside-to-landside' transition. A major highlight of Cable Airport is Maniac Mike's Cafe, a popular aviation-themed restaurant located directly on the airfield. The cafe is a favorite destination for both local residents and 'fly-in' diners, offering classic American fare with panoramic views of the active runway and the nearby San Gabriel Mountains. The airport is also the site of the annual Cable Air Show, one of the region's largest community aviation events. Although CCB does not host scheduled commercial airline service, its proximity to Ontario International Airport (ONT) and major Southern California highways makes it a strategically located and highly functional gateway for private and corporate travel.
