Sacramento Mather Airport

Sacramento Mather Airport (KMHR) is a medium airport in Sacramento, CA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KMHR or IATA code MHR. It sits in North America.

Sacramento Mather Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 11,301-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 11,301 ft (3,445 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.

Sacramento Mather Airport sits near sea level at 98 ft.

Local operations run on America/Los_Angeles. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess currently tracks 259 departing and 289 arriving private-jet legs at KMHR across the next six months of operator inventory. 1 aircraft from 11 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 KMHR 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.
