BACKGROUND
The Marina Municipal Airport is the newest general aviation airport on the Monterey Peninsula. It is
located approximately one mile north of downtown and consists of approximately 845 acres of property.
It began as the early Marina Airfield supporting the 1915 Pan-Pacific International Exposition and the
first terminus for the U.S. Trans-Continental Air Mail Service, with the first scheduled mail plane
landing in September 1920. The airport later served as Fritzsche Army Airfield, a U.S. Army base,
before being converted to public use in 1995 after Fort Ord's closure, becoming a hub for general aviation
and innovative aerospace development.
The Airport is dedicated to general aviation, business, light industry, and recreation, and is collaborating
with the University of California MBEST Center to create a dynamic economic development growth
center for the peninsula region.
