KSSF is the ICAO code for Stinson Municipal Airport (IATA SSF), located in San Antonio, TX.
Stinson Municipal Airport (KSSF) is a medium airport in San Antonio, TX. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KSSF or IATA code SSF. It sits in North America.
Stinson Municipal Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 5,000-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.
The longest runway measures 5,000 ft (1,524 m), a light-jet-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Phenom 300, Citation CJ4, and Learjet 75. In practice this limits operations to light jets, turboprops, and short-field-capable aircraft.
Stinson Municipal Airport sits near sea level at 577 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 185 departing and 72 arriving private-jet legs at KSSF 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 KSSF 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.
Stinson Municipal Airport is seven miles south of downtown San Antonio in Bexar County, Texas. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a reliever airport.
