🏢 Terminal Guide & Navigation
Brackett Field (POC) is a primary general aviation hub serving the Pomona Valley and the greater Los Angeles basin, located in La Verne approximately 1 mile southwest of the city center. The airport features a functional passenger terminal building that serves as the central hub for private pilots, corporate charters, and multiple flight schools including the Mt. San Antonio College Aviation Department. It acts as a critical infrastructure link for Southern California, providing a professional base for flight operations and administrative support for the regional business community.
The terminal infrastructure provides a variety of essential amenities across its unified layout, featuring a comfortable waiting lobby, clean public restroom facilities, and a dedicated pilot shop selling training aids and aviation-themed gifts. A highly popular on-site feature is 'Norm’s Hangar Restaurant,' which features an outdoor patio situated just 300 feet from the runway and famously pipes in live audio from the Brackett Tower for diners. Adjacent to the terminal is a tree-shaded public park and picnic area with outdoor grills, making the airport a unique social destination for both pilots and local families.
Technical services at the field are comprehensive, managed by the on-site FBO, American Airports Corporation, which provides 24-hour fueling for 100LL Avgas and Jet A fuel. The airport features two substantial asphalt runways, including a 4,839-foot primary strip (8R/26L) equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS). Ground transportation is well-supported by pre-arranged rental services and proximity to local bus routes, providing a quick 5-minute link to the L.A. County Fairplex, the Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, and the scenic Puddingstone Reservoir.
Airlines Serving POC
💡 Connection Tips
Brackett Field (POC) is a significant general aviation hub located in La Verne, California, serving as a quiet alternative to Ontario (ONT) for private jets. It handles NO scheduled commercial airline flights. Ground transport is straightforward; on-site car rental agencies (Enterprise) and local taxis are readily available.
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are highly active in the area and can reach Pomona or downtown Los Angeles in 30-45 minutes. A unique connection tip: the airport is located near the Metrolink San Bernardino Line (Pomona station), providing a direct rail link to LA Union Station The airport's value is the quick suburban access into the San Gabriel Valley, which is why many pilots use it as a calm alternative to the larger Southern California fields.
At 1,014 feet elevation covering 276 acres, the airport operates two parallel asphalt runways including a 4,839-foot ILS-equipped primary runway (08R/26L) and a 3,661-foot secondary runway (08L/26R), along with high-quality pilot lounges and 24-hour self-serve fuel. If you need a commercial connection, ONT is approximately 15 minutes to the east via I-10 The airport's value is the quick suburban access, so a short rideshare to Pomona or La Verne is usually the cleanest end to the flight. For the San Gabriel Valley, that makes the airport useful when the traveler wants a local GA stop and not the scale of Ontario or LAX. That makes the airport a clean GA shortcut for people who want the San Gabriel Valley rather than a major airline hub. The airport is therefore most useful for people who want the La Verne/Pomona area and not a commercial-airline experience. Once you leave the ramp, the rest of the day is usually just a short drive into La Verne or Pomona.
