CLOSING. Under the 2017 consent decree with the FAA and Department of Justice the City of Santa Monica will close the airport permanently at midnight on 31 December 2028, a commitment it reaffirmed in September 2025. The runway has already been cut from 4,973 ft to 3,500 ft, which removed roughly 40 per cent of jet traffic and effectively ended charter operations. Plan accordingly.
