Fresno Yosemite International Airport

Fresno Yosemite International Airport (KFAT) is a medium airport in Fresno, CA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KFAT or IATA code FAT. It sits in North America.

Fresno Yosemite International Airport is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

The longest runway measures 9,539 ft (2,907 m), a ultra-long-range-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G650, Bombardier Global 7500, and Dassault Falcon 8X. In practice this transcontinental and transoceanic operations without performance penalties.

Fresno Yosemite International Airport sits near sea level at 336 ft.

Local operations run on America/Los_Angeles. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.

SkyAccess currently tracks 294 departing and 246 arriving private-jet legs at KFAT across the next six months of operator inventory. 3 aircraft from 12 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.

Regional fields like KFAT are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.
