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.

Fresno Yosemite International Airport is a joint military–public airport in Fresno, California, United States. It is the primary commercial airport for the San Joaquin Valley and three national parks: Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon. It offers scheduled passenger flights to several major airline hubs in the United States and international service to Mexico. The facility opened in June 1942 as Hammer Field, a military airfield. The airport is owned and operated by the city of Fresno and operates two runways on a property spanning 1,728 acres (699 ha). Its airport code "FAT" stands for Fresno Air Terminal, a former name for the airport.
