Sacramento International Airport, International airport in Sacramento County, United States
Sacramento International Airport is an airport in Sacramento County and serves flights to North America and beyond on a site covering around 6,000 acres (2,430 hectares). The two terminals provide access to multiple gates with modern facilities for passengers.
The facility began operations in 1967 under a different name and was the first purpose-built public airport site west of the Mississippi River. It has since undergone several expansions and upgrades to meet growing traffic demands.
Local artwork throughout the buildings showcases pieces from Northern California and reflects the artistic tradition of the region. This collection gives travelers a sense of the Sacramento Valley's cultural identity as they move through the halls.
The terminals sit close together and are reachable on foot, while signage helps with orientation throughout the buildings. Travelers should allow enough time for security screening and can use seating areas during waiting periods.
The site uses a large solar array that generates around one-third of its total electricity needs, making it one of the more environmentally conscious airports. This system helps reduce the ecological footprint of its operations.
