passenger seats.
The FAA issues Airport Operating Certificates to airports that comply with safety and emergency response
requirements specified in Part 139. Such requirements cover a wide range of issues, including signs, lights
and markings, runway safety, aircraft rescue and firefighting, aviation fueling safety, snow and ice control,
and wildlife hazard management.
Currently, the FAA certificates approximately 520 US airports. The FAA maintains a list of US airports
certificated under Part 139, which is updated monthly (see Part 139 Airport Certification Status List below).
In February 2023, Part 139 was updated to include new requirements for safety management systems (SMS)
for certain airports certificated under Part 139. These airports must develop and implement an SMS program
to identify and quantify potential hazards and risks and adopt processes to manage them. For more
information on these new Part 139 requirements, please go to Safety Management Systems (SMS) for
Airports and Airport Projects.
