About Ross Aviation Thermal Airport

Ross Aviation Thermal Airport, a public-use, county-owned facility operated by Ross Aviation, serves Thermal, California, and the surrounding Coachella Valley. Formerly Thermal Army Air Field, the site is now Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport (TRM) and features robust hangar space, ample ramp capacity, and access to a growing general aviation community during peak seasonal events and winter traffic. The airport is positioned four miles south of I-10 and two miles west of Highway 111, making it a convenient gateway for travelers headed to nearby resorts, golf courses, and regional attractions.

Whether you’re piloting in for a business trip, a weekend escape, or coordinating support for Coachella Valley events, TRM offers reliable facilities, professional ground handling by Ross Aviation, and proximity to top accommodations and dining. We’ve got you covered with essential details to help you plan a smooth, no-fuss visit.

Key facts: TRM operates with two asphalt runways (17/35 at 8,500 ft and 12/30 at 4,995 ft), capable hangar and ramp expansion, 57,093 annual operations (2023) and 94 based aircraft. The airport provides ramp/tiedown parking options and transient parking per local guidance. For travelers seeking a convenient stay, a range of nearby hotels and restaurants are within roughly 10–12 miles, with preferred affiliate partner recommendations to simplify booking. When you’re ready to move, secure your seats for your airside needs and rely on our team for dependable support—like having a friend in the business.

Transit and access are straightforward: TRM sits just off major arterials, offering easy ground transportation to Indio, Palm Springs, and surrounding communities.
