history

The Sacramento International Airport was opened on October 21, 1967 as Sacramento Metropolitan Airport to replace the existing Sacramento Municipal Airport for commercial air traffic. Despite skeptical voices, more than a million passengers were carried in the first year. In 1987, a second runway east of the existing runway was put into operation to cope with the growing number of passengers.

In 1996 construction work began on a new terminal building, at the same time the airport was renamed Sacramento International Airport , but no international scheduled flights have yet been offered. Terminal A opened in 1998. The first international scheduled flight took place in 2002, when Mexicana began to connect Sacramento with Guadalajara Airport on a regular basis . A new parking garage was opened on September 23, 2004. In 2006, Sacramento International Airport was granted Port of Entry status .

In 2008 the groundbreaking ceremony took place for a new Terminal B, the construction of which cost around 1.03 billion US dollars . It was built to replace the old Terminal B. The first arriving flight was handled in the new Terminal B on October 5, 2011, but the official opening and first departure did not take place until the next day. The demolition of the old Terminal B was completed in August 2012.
