Our mission

  • Build a coalition of residents, pilots, business owners, and public safety advocates.
  • Fight disinformation and make sure the public has accurate information about the airport’s future.
  • Launch a public awareness campaign so decisions about WHP should follow the law, make financial sense, protect public safety, and reflect what the community wants.

Whiteman Airport has been serving general aviation and the San Fernando Valley communities since 1946

Whiteman Airport has been part of the San Fernando Valley community for more than 80 years. It supports local jobs, flight training, emergency response operations, wildfire support, public safety activities, and small businesses. Its economic impact is massive, creating hundreds of jobs and bringing in more than $100 million in economic activity for the region.

We are calling on local leaders to prioritize modernization, safety improvements, and responsible planning before considering any irreversible decision to close Whiteman Airport.

Testimonials

“Whiteman has become a lifeline in my son’s quest to build a career in aviation. The incredibly supportive and welcoming community we have found at Whiteman has helped turn my son’s life around since the pandemic.”

-Louisa V.

“Local leaders should stop false narratives and move forward with practical solutions that benefit both residents and airport users.”

-Gabriel L.

“We would like (local leaders) to pursue federal funds for helping to maintain the airport. That’s essentially free money that the federal government can give you for these improvements.”

-Brent N.
