Palm Springs International Airport (PSP)

Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) is a public airport owned and operated by the City of Palm Springs, located two miles east of downtown Palm Springs, California. The airport is ADA-compliant throughout and has a dedicated ADA/504 Coordinator responsible for ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. A TDD telephone line is available for deaf and hard-of-hearing travelers at (760) 864-9527. Accessible parking spaces are available in all PSP lots and require a disabled placard. Curbside drop-off and pick-up zones are designated as accessible at both arrivals and departures. All restrooms throughout the terminal are ADA-compliant. Complimentary wheelchairs are available at the ticket counter and gate areas upon request, and wheelchair service can also be requested curbside. Service animals are permitted throughout all terminal areas, with a pet-relief area available post-security.

Persons with disabilities may request reasonable accommodations by contacting the ADA/504 Coordinator for airport facility-related needs, or their respective airline for airline-related needs. TSA Cares, a travel assistance program for passengers with disabilities, is available by calling 1-855-787-2227. Hotel and rental car shuttles serving PSP are equipped with wheelchair lifts. The airport’s compact, single-terminal layout is step-free and widely noted as easier to navigate than many U.S. airports of comparable size.

Visitors report that PSP is compact and step-free, making it straightforward to navigate with a wheelchair or mobility device. Some visitors note that wheelchair assistance works best when arranged with the airline at least 48 hours in advance. The open-air courtyard layout is frequently described as welcoming, though travelers should be aware it is roofless and exposed to outdoor conditions.
