Take time to enjoy the original Palm Springs Airport terminal, built in 1966, and designed by famed American architect, Donald Wexler. Featuring a tensile structured canopy, giving a sense of flight. PSP airport was originally constructed as a United States Army Air Forces airfield in 1939 on land owned by the Agua Caliente band of the Cahuilla people, before being converted in 1964 to the Palm Springs Municipal Airport. Recent enhancements include a new regional concourse.
