Lackland Air Force Base

Lackland Air Force Base (KSKF) is a medium airport in San Antonio, TX. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KSKF or IATA code SKF. It sits in North America.

Lackland Air Force Base is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 11,550-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 11,550 ft (3,520 m), a ultra-long-range-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500, and Dassault Falcon 8X. In practice this transcontinental and transoceanic operations without performance penalties.

Lackland Air Force Base sits near sea level at 691 ft.

Local operations run on America/Chicago. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess currently tracks 181 departing and 71 arriving private-jet legs at KSKF across the next six months of operator inventory. 2 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KSKF are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
