On the Airport, many developed sites are available for hangar development. The Airport will work with those wishing to develop economical facilities, including the installation of crew quarters.

Hangar

Porterville has an active program for airport improvement and maintenance. A regular comment received by the Airport Staff is how well the airport is maintained. Around the terminal area, extensive grass is maintained. For those wishing a fly-in, the grass may be reserved in advance for camping.

The Airport's Capital Improvement plan included major electrical work in 2010. The work involved the replacement of all taxiway lighting with LEDs. The 2011 project, rehabilitation of Runway 12-30 is now complete and boasts a new grooved asphalt overlay, shoulder backing, new pavement markings and striping.  A fog seal completes the project. Other near-term projects include the redevelopment of an abandoned runway into a taxiway which will serve aviation businesses. The goal of the Airport is to expand commercial operations at the Airport including potentially air ambulance operations and air cargo. Currently the Airport has a non-precision approach, but is being evaluated for an LVP approach by the California Division of Aviation and the FAA.
