indicate that a wide variety of business aircraft have used the airfield over the years including privately operated jets as large as the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) version of the Boeing 737-700 as well as the McDonnell Douglas MD-87 jetliner. Historical airline service By the spring of 1947, Southwest Airways (which in 1958 subsequently changed its name to Pacific Air Lines, the predecessor of Air West and Hughes Airwest) was serving the Napa County Airport with six daily flights operated with Douglas DC-3 aircraft with three round trip services flying San Francisco - Oakland - Napa - Sacramento - Marysville/Yuba City - Chico - Red Bluff - Redding with two of these flights continuing northbound serving Yreka and Medford. The April 27, 1947 Southwest Airways timetable listed its service into the airport as Vallejo-Napa noting that Napa County Airport was the airfield it used to serve both cities. Southwest Airways had ceased serving the airport by the fall of 1953. Several small commuter airlines also served the airport with scheduled passenger flights in the past. In 1969, Golden Pacific Airlines (1969-1973) was operating five flights every weekday from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) with Beechcraft 99 commuter turboprop aircraft. By 1978, Stol Air Commuter was operating six flights every weekday from San Francisco International with Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander and Britten-Norman BN-2A Trislander prop aircraft. The airport currently does not have any scheduled passenger flights with airline service being available at the Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa, CA as well as the Oakland International Airport (OAK) and San Francisco International.
