Santa Fe Municipal Airport (IATA: SAF, ICAO: KSAF) is a public airport located nine miles (14 km) southwest of the central business district (CBD) of Santa Fe, a city in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, USA. It covers 2,120 acres (858 ha) and has three runways.

Historically, the airport had non-stop Douglas DC-9 jet service to Dallas Love Field on Texas International Airlines. The airport does not currently have any commercial service.

In June 2007, the airport was upgraded to Class 1 status to allow regional jet service. In July 2007, Delta Air Lines announced new regional jet service would commence between Santa Fe and Los Angeles International Airport, as well as Salt Lake City International Airport; this will be the first regional jet service ever to/from Santa Fe Municipal Airport. This service, along with American Airlines service, has been delayed indefinitely pending federal approval of an environmental assessment. Both Delta and American have removed all flights to Santa Fe from their schedule and it is unknown if or when flights will begin. [1]
