Runways

Which private jets can use SBP?

General guidance from the longest paved runway. We assume each size needs its typical full-weight takeoff length, lengthened 8% per 1,000 ft of elevation. Hot days, wet runways and the operator's own limits change it, so the operator confirms each flight.

On a charter, the operator chooses the FBO at SBP; ask us which one your flight uses and we'll tell you before you go.
