Livermore Municipal Airport
The airport has no scheduled airline service; the closest commercial airports are Oakland International Airport and San Jose International Airport. In the 1976-1977 OAG the regional airline California Air Commuter had scheduled service listed at Livermore, using Piper Navajos.

Expansion plans
In 2021 KaiserAir filed a letter of intent to expand to Livermore Municipal Airport:
- Phase One: Concrete apron ( 293,200 square feet), terminal building 5,000 square feet), fuel storage, self- service avgas fuel station, vehicle parking lot and airfield infrastructure improvements
- Phase Two: Hangar complex ( 64,000 square feet), 18 rectangular 60' x60' hangars
- Phase Three: Two-story office building and hangar complex ( 38,000 square feet) and the addition of Boeing 737 operations
- Phase Four: Ground service equipment maintenance building ( 4,000 square feet) and two t-hangar complexes ( 60,000 square feet)
In 2022, local government officials said that it appeared that KaiserAir was "not moving forward" with their originally proposed project.
