Palm Springs International Airport (IATA: PSP, ICAO: KPSP, FAA LID: PSP) is a public airport located two miles (3 km) east of the central business district (CBD) of Palm Springs, California, serving the Coachella Valley area of Riverside County. The airport covers 940 acres and has two runways. It is highly seasonal, in that many flights do not operate during the summer.

PSP was originally constructed as a United States Army Air Forces airfield in 1939 on land owned by the Agua Caliente band of the Cahuilla people. The city of Palm Springs purchased the land in 1961 and converted it for commercial use, which began in 1964 as the Palm Springs Municipal Airport.

On December 30, 2006, Air Force One left Palm Springs International Airport with the Body of 38th President of the United States, Gerald R. Ford. The body of the President was flown to Washington DC for official federal services.
