Charles M. Schulz - Sonoma County Airport (IATA: STS, ICAO: KSTS, FAA LID: STS) is an airport located a few miles northwest of Santa Rosa and south of the city of Windsor serving Sonoma County and the surrounding areas of Wine Country in California. The airport has two runways. Until recently, it was exclusively used for general aviation, but in March 2007, Horizon Air returned commercial aviation service to Santa Rosa by inaugurating flights to Seattle/Tacoma and Los Angeles. Previous commercial airline service was by United Express but was stopped because the flights to San Francisco and Los Angeles were not profitable.

In the Fall of 2007 Horizon began service to Portland, OR, along with the pervious flights to Los Angeles and Seattle/Tacoma. The addition of the air service to Portland brings with it new hope that other airlines will start flying into Sonoma County.

The airport is named after Charles M. Schulz, the famed cartoonist of the Peanuts comic strip, who lived and worked in Santa Rosa for more than 30 years. The airport's amusing logo features Snoopy in his "World War I Flying Ace" attire, taking to the skies on top of his "Sopwith Camel" (i.e. his doghouse).

[edit] Possible future airlines/destinations

Sonoma County Airport is actively engaged in securing additional commercial air service. Options under consideration include increased flights to Seattle/Tacoma and Los Angeles as well as the addition of other new destinations. These include Denver, Salt Lake City, and North Las Vegas Airport. The Denver service would be operated by Frontier or its affiliate; the Salt Lake City route would be flown by Delta Connection, possibly subsidized by a joint incentive package by both airport authorities, and the North Las Vegas route would be operated by Vision Air.
