Charles M. Schulz - Sonoma County Airport (IATA: STS, ICAO: KSTS, FAA LID: STS) is an airport located a few miles northwest of Santa Rosa serving Sonoma County and the surrounding areas of Wine Country in California. The airport has 2 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 and was cancelled due to low ridership.
The airport is named after Charles M. Schulz, the famed cartoonist of the Peanuts comic strip. The airport's amusing logo features Snoopy in goggles and scarf, taking to the skies on top of his red doghouse.
