Fresno Yosemite International Airport

Fresno Yosemite International Airport (KFAT) sits 5 miles northeast of downtown Fresno, California, in the heart of California's Central Valley. The field handles modest commercial service (Allegiant, American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Volaris, Aeroméxico, Frontier) and a meaningful flow of business aviation, particularly the Central Valley agricultural corporate community (the world's largest ag region by value — Driscoll's, Sun-Maid, Setton Pistachio), the Yosemite National Park tourism flow, and the central California state-government flow. The two runways at KFAT (11L/29R 9,222 ft, 11R/29L 8,007 ft) handle every current business jet without restriction. Two FBOs (Signature and Atlantic) handle business movements. Field elevation is 336 feet, no density-altitude concerns. The dominant operational considerations are Central Valley summer heat (110°F+ in July–August), tule fog in winter (Central Valley experiences some of the worst persistent low-visibility fog in the United States, December–February), and the structural agricultural flying season. Yosemite National Park flow drives summer demand. Ground time to downtown Fresno is 10 minutes; Yosemite via Highway 41 is 90 minutes; the Sierra Nevada foothills luxury communities (around Lake Yosemite, Bass Lake, Shaver Lake) are 30–60.
