Hawthorne Municipal Airport, also known as Jack Northrop Field, is an FAA-designated general aviation reliever airport owned by the City of Hawthorne.

The Airport is also home to an FAA-operated Air Traffic Control Tower.

Archer Aviation, Inc. is now the Airport’s fixed base operations provider.

Security Aviation maintains a FAA Part 145 Repair Station, Cessna Service Center and Parts Sales Center.
