Travis AFB Airport Diagram
Travis AFB is located in Solano County in northern California, midway
between Sacramento and San Francisco. The Base covers approximately
6,260 acres of land. Travis AFB has two main runways and an assault landing
zone (ALZ) that runs parallel the main runways, all oriented
northeast/southwest. Runway 03L/21R is 11,001 feet long and 150 feet
wide, while runway 03R/21L is 10,992 feet long and 150 feet wide. Both are
Class B runways designed and built for sustained heavy aircraft landings and
takeoffs. Assault Landing Zone 03/21 is 3,500 feet long and 90 feet wide and
is designed for sustained C‐17 assault landings and takeoffs. Runways 03L,
03R and ALZ 03 are used about 20 percent of the time for approaches from
the southwest and departures to the northeast. Runways 21L, 21R and
ALZ 21 are used about 80 percent of the time for approaches from the
northeast and departures to the southwest. Figure 3‐2 provides an airport
diagram, including the location of the runways, control tower, and terminal.
