## Description

Dates by the ton grow around this field – the Coachella Valley supplies most of America's crop – yet they leave by truck, not by air. Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport (IATA: TRM, ICAO: KTRM) at Thermal lies about 115 feet below sea level, some 33 miles southeast of Palm Springs, and works two runways of 8,500 ft and 4,995 ft. Its traffic is business aviation: the ramp fills with jets from across the country during the winter season and the Coachella and Stagecoach festivals, and there is no scheduled service. No cargo terminal and no permanent customs post are documented at TRM, so air freight for the valley is trucked two to three hours west to Ontario (ONT), the region's dedicated freighter base, or to Los Angeles (LAX) for intercontinental lanes, with Palm Springs (PSP) taking smaller belly-cargo shipments. Riverside County is planning a 448-square-foot octagonal control tower, construction slated to begin in late 2026 at an estimated 24 million dollars and FAA staffing expected once it opens. The name honours Jacqueline Cochran, speed-record pilot and founder of the WASP, who ranched nearby.
