About This Site
Last updated: August 28, 2026
This is an independent guide to Palo Alto Airport (PAO/KPAO), a general-aviation airport in the heart of Silicon Valley, California. We gather the practical details pilots, aircraft owners, and visitors actually need - based services, aircraft rental, and ground transfers - in one clear place.
What this site is
We collect and organise publicly available information about Palo Alto Airport: the fixed-base operator and services on the field, aircraft rental options, and how to reach the airport and the surrounding area. Where details change, we update the pages and note when they were last reviewed.
The content is written for pilots, aircraft owners, and visitors planning a trip through PAO, not as an official record.
We are independent
This website is not operated by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the City of Palo Alto, the airport administration, any fixed-base operator, or any government or aviation authority. Official notices, fees, NOTAMs, and operational information should always be confirmed with the airport and the relevant authorities before you fly.
How the site is funded
Some pages include a ground-transfer booking tool provided by an independent partner, and the site may display advertising. If you book a transfer or interact with an ad, we may earn a commission or fee at no extra cost to you. This keeps the guide free to read, and it does not change the information we publish - we describe options as we find them, not according to who pays.
Corrections
If you spot something out of date or inaccurate, please tell us. We would rather fix a detail quickly than leave a pilot or visitor with the wrong information.
