Charlie Brown Airport Expands..STS
Ever feel like the finish line keeps moving farther away? Jon Stout, airport manager at Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, CA, knows just what you mean.
Stout and his team are in the midst of a $31 million terminal expansion and renovation that began in November. But even when they cut the ribbon in fall 2022, STS will only have 70% of the recommended space to handle its peak passenger volume.
Despite much work still ahead, Stout is optimistic about the improvements that will come from renovating the airport’s 1960s era terminal and adding 30,000 square feet of new space. “It will still be a huge deal for customer service and amenities and the overall experience,” he says.
For three years STS accommodated Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Sun Country Airlines and United Airlines in just one small holdroom. With traffic down considerably due to COVID-19, the airport currently has three daily flights on Alaska and one American route. In 2020, passenger volume was off by 60%.
