As of June 14, 2024, the majority of taxiways at Santa Barbara Airport have been renamed to comply with FAA naming convention requirements. This change is essential for maintaining safety and standardization across all airports.
It can be some time before the FAA upgrades the official taxi diagram for SBA. To ensure a smooth transition, we strongly encourage everyone to:
- Download and review the new taxiway diagram (available below).
- Keep a copy of the new diagram in your aircraft for quick reference.
- Request progressive taxi instructions if you are unsure of your location or route.
Your familiarity with these changes is crucial for safe ground operations. Please take the time to study the new layout and reach out to airport administration if you have any questions or concerns.
