Flea Port Heliport

The heliport was closed due to the large-scale redevelopment of the San Jose Flea Market property. The land was sold and rezoned for a high-density, transit-oriented development known as the Berryessa BART Urban Village. The heliport's location was repurposed for the construction of residential and commercial buildings, making its continued operation impossible.

The site of the former heliport has been completely redeveloped. It is now occupied by new multi-story apartment buildings and associated infrastructure as part of the 'Market Park' residential and commercial development. The entire area has been transformed from a sprawling open-air market into a dense urban village centered around the Berryessa/North San José BART station.

Flea Port Heliport (also known by its former FAA identifier, 9CA9) was a private heliport located on the property of the iconic San Jose Flea Market. Its name was a playful pun on its location. The heliport was most famously used by the Flea Market's founder, George Bumb Sr., who regularly commuted to his office from his home in his personal helicopter. This unique commute made the heliport a local curiosity and a symbol of the founder's character and the market's quirky charm. Beyond private use, it was occasionally used for promotional events and to offer helicopter tours of the South Bay.

None. The land has been permanently and irreversibly repurposed for high-density urban use. The city's master plan for the Berryessa Urban Village does not include a heliport, and the current construction of tall residential buildings in the immediate vicinity would make reopening a heliport unfeasible and unsafe.
