What do the colors mean?

  • No traffic seen The runway is there, but we see nothing on it right now.
  • Arriving traffic Aircraft are descending toward this runway right now.
  • Departing traffic Aircraft are climbing out from this runway right now.
  • Direction unknown It says “in use now” without an arrow: we see traffic, but the aircraft does not report whether it is climbing or descending.

The white arrow on the runway points the way the traffic is going. Derived from the positions of aircraft flying low near the airport right now. Not an official runway plan; what we see.

Designation, direction and length of every runway. These rarely change; which one is in use right now shows up here whenever we observe traffic.

Palm Springs Airport (PSP) flight status

Palm Springs International Airport, the Palm Springs airport in the United States, goes by the IATA code PSP and the ICAO code KPSP. The airport sits at 33.8297 degrees north, 116.507 degrees west, is registered in the large-airport class, and shows a quiet traffic level in our own measurement. The live radar on this page shows the aircraft arriving at and departing from Palm Springs right now, and the arrivals and departures pages linked above it carry the flight times, so this text leaves the current flights to those and covers the rest: what our own 30-day measurement recorded at the airport, the one airline that surfaced in it, and the closest alternatives to Palm Springs.

Our 30-day measurement at Palm Springs

For 30 days, our own reception measurement counted the aircraft it received near Palm Springs International Airport, and the average came out at 0.3 observations per day. The measurement runs per day, so that figure is the average across the full window rather than the count of any single day at Palm Springs, and it reflects what our reception picked up, not the airport's complete schedule. Set against the large-airport class that PSP carries, that is a strikingly calm reading: the class comes from the airport data, the average from our own reception, and the two sit side by side on this page.

WestJet was the airline in that window, recorded once at Palm Springs International Airport in the 30 days of measurement; that single observation is the airline picture our data gives for PSP. The carrier's own page on this site is WestJet flight status.

Reading the radar at a quiet airport

At an airport with a quiet measured level, the live radar can show one or two aircraft or briefly none at all. The radar shows what our receivers pick up, so a quiet map does not mean that no flights are operating; check the departures page close to your flight's scheduled time rather than hours ahead, and if your flight is with WestJet, use the airline link above as a second place to look.

Nearby airports

Among the nearby airports in our Palm Springs data, the closest is San Bernardino International Airport, 74 km from PSP. Ontario International Airport is the second option, at 104 km from Palm Springs, and McClellan-Palomar Airport lies almost as far out at 106 km. With the nearest alternative 74 km away, none of these is a quick fallback: treat them as planning alternatives for a diversion or a rebooking rather than a same-hour switch from Palm Springs. For airports elsewhere in the United States, the airport overview is the place to start.
