Half Moon Bay at a Glance

Half Moon Bay Airport (KHAF/HAF) is a San Mateo County-owned, public-use general aviation field on the Pacific coast about 4 miles north of downtown Half Moon Bay. It has a single asphalt runway, 12/30, measuring 5,000 by 150 feet at 66 feet MSL. The airport is non-towered (CTAF 122.8) with no on-field U.S. Customs. Both Jet-A and 100LL (including unleaded avgas) are available through county-operated self-service. This is primarily a piston and light-GA reliever; jet activity is light and weather-sensitive given frequent coastal fog.

Runways & Approaches

Half Moon Bay operates a single asphalt runway, 12/30, measuring 5,000 by 150 feet at a field elevation of just 66 feet MSL. On paper this length and the low elevation support light jets such as the Citation CJ series, Phenom 100/300, and similar types under favorable conditions, but in practice KHAF functions as a piston and light-turboprop field — jet movements are infrequent. Crews planning a jet should run full performance numbers against weight, temperature, and runway condition, and treat the published length conservatively.

The bigger operational driver here is weather, not pavement. The field is non-towered (CTAF 122.8) and served by RNAV (GPS) and visual approaches only, with no precision ILS. Sitting directly on the coast, KHAF is regularly socked in by the marine layer and fog, which can push conditions to IFR or below approach minimums with little warning. Pilots should plan for a suitable alternate — San Carlos (KSQL), Palo Alto (KPAO), or the larger SFO/OAK fields are all close by.

FBOs & Ground Services

Full-service fixed-base operators handle private traffic here, offering Jet-A, hangarage, customs coordination, and concierge ground transportation. Arrange handling in advance for peak-season and after-hours arrivals.

County of San Mateo (Airport Operations)

San Mateo County owns and operates Half Moon Bay Airport, providing tiedowns, hangars, and self-service Jet-A and 100LL/unleaded avgas. The county office is staffed during business hours; there is no full-service jet-center FBO on the field, so crews should coordinate fueling, parking, and any handling needs directly with airport management before arrival.

Private Aviation Briefing — History, Operations & Planning

Airport Overview

Half Moon Bay Airport (KHAF/HAF), also known as Eddie Andreini Sr. Airfield, is a public-use general aviation airport owned and operated by San Mateo County. It sits on the Pacific coast roughly 4 miles north of downtown Half Moon Bay and about 9 nautical miles southwest of San Francisco International. The field is a popular weekend and recreational destination known for its coastal setting and proximity to the town, but it operates as a light-GA reliever rather than a business-jet gateway.

Runway Capability

The single runway, 12/30, is 5,000 by 150 feet of asphalt at 66 feet MSL. That length nominally accommodates light jets in good conditions, but the airport's traffic is overwhelmingly piston aircraft, vintage warbirds, and light turboprops. Charter clients targeting jet service should verify aircraft performance carefully and recognize that many operators will prefer nearby fields with control towers and instrument precision approaches.

Charter Considerations

KHAF is non-towered (CTAF 122.8) with RNAV (GPS) and visual approaches and no ILS. There is no full-service jet FBO; ground handling, fuel, and parking run through San Mateo County airport operations. For most business-jet missions in the San Francisco Bay Area, The Jet Finder can position aircraft at San Carlos (KSQL), Palo Alto (KPAO), Oakland (KOAK), or SFO, then arrange ground transport down the coast — often a better fit than a light jet into Half Moon Bay.

Safety & Planning

The dominant planning factor at Half Moon Bay is coastal weather. The marine layer and fog frequently reduce ceilings and visibility to IFR or below minimums, and without a precision approach or control tower, conditions can close the field to arrivals on short notice. Always file with a realistic alternate, watch the TAF and webcams closely, and build schedule flexibility into any KHAF itinerary.

Customs & International

Half Moon Bay has no on-field U.S. Customs and Border Protection facility, so it cannot serve as a port of entry for international flights. Inbound international charters must clear customs at a designated airport — San Francisco International (KSFO) and Oakland (KOAK) are the nearest options — before continuing to KHAF if the aircraft is suitable for the field.

Regional Context

Half Moon Bay is one of several Bay Area GA fields. Within roughly 20 nautical miles are San Francisco International (KSFO, ~9 NM), San Carlos (KSQL, ~12 NM), Oakland (KOAK, ~18 NM), and Palo Alto (KPAO, ~19 NM). These alternatives offer control towers, longer runways, instrument precision approaches, and established jet FBOs, making them the practical choice for most private-jet travel serving the San Mateo coast and Silicon Valley.

Frequently Asked Questions

Half Moon Bay Airport is designated KHAF in the FAA system. Pilots and dispatchers use this code for flight planning, weather briefings, and NOTAMs associated with the airport.

You will find Half Moon Bay Airport near Half Moon Bay, CA. The geographic position is 37.5134° N, 122.5011° W, at an elevation of 66 feet MSL.

Half Moon Bay Airport has one runway, 12/30, measuring 5,000 by 150 feet of asphalt at a field elevation of 66 feet MSL. The low elevation keeps density altitude effects minimal year-round.

The 5,000-foot runway can accommodate light jets under favorable conditions, but Half Moon Bay is primarily a piston and light-GA field. It is non-towered with no precision instrument approach, and frequent coastal fog limits reliability. Many operators prefer nearby fields like San Carlos, Palo Alto, Oakland, or SFO for jet service. Always verify aircraft performance for the specific type and conditions.

There is no full-service jet FBO at Half Moon Bay. San Mateo County operates the airport directly, providing tiedowns, hangars, and self-service Jet-A and 100LL (including unleaded avgas). Coordinate fueling, parking, and handling with airport management before arrival.

The airport elevation at Half Moon Bay Airport is 66 feet MSL. Pilots should factor this into takeoff and landing performance calculations, especially during summer operations.

Half Moon Bay is served by RNAV (GPS) and visual approaches only. There is no ILS or other precision approach, so the field can become unusable when the marine layer drops ceilings and visibility below minimums. Plan a suitable alternate.

Private charter from KHAF is available through The Jet Finder. We connect clients with FAA-certificated Part 135 operators. Pricing depends on aircraft type, destination, and scheduling.

Traffic at Half Moon Bay is mostly piston singles, vintage aircraft, and light turboprops. The 5,000-foot runway can handle light jets in good conditions, but jet operations are uncommon and weather-sensitive. Anything beyond a light jet should plan for a nearby field with more runway and a control tower.
