The airport covers 5,832 acres (2,360 ha) at an elevation of 2,543 feet (775 m) above mean sea level.
It has three runways with concrete surfaces: 4/22 is 12,001 by 150 feet (3,658 x 46 m); 7/25 is 12,002 by 200 feet (3,658 x 61 m); 72/252 is 6,000 by 75 feet (1,829 x 23 m).

During the 1990s, airlines operated out of the Palmdale Regional Airport, which consisted of the terminal and parking lot on leased land.
The last airline pulled out in 1998.

Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) owns 17,000 acres east of Plant 42 that was acquired for an airport.
The city of Los Angeles bought the land in the 1960s when it planned to build an airport in Palmdale, but the airport was never built.
In March 2001 Los Angeles County hired Tri-Star Marketing to prepare the presentations needed to bring air-passenger service back to Palmdale Regional Airport.
However, the regional transportation plans formulated by the Southern California Association of Governments focus on having airports in Burbank, Ontario, Irvine and El Toro to handle the excess air-passenger service for the Southern California region.
