You had thoughts. A LOT of thoughts. And we asked for them. 👀✈️

More than 2,000 people took our SMF Master Plan survey to help shape the airport’s next 20 years. Thank you!

A few things we learned:
✈️ 67% want more nonstop destinations. Trust us, our Air Service team loves hearing that.
🏖️ 53% primarily travel for vacation. As you should.
🧳 About 30% of you fly through SMF at least once a month. At this point, welcome home.
🍴 46% said they’re satisfied or very satisfied with our food and shopping. We do have one question: when was the last time the other 54% were here? Because we’ve basically replaced the whole menu. 👀
🚗 We heard you on parking. Good news: 5,500 new spaces are coming with Parking Garage 2 before Thanksgiving, with parking reservations coming in mid-2027.
🚈 And yes, we read the comments. 330 of you specifically mentioned light rail. Message = received.
🚧 86% said they’d accept some construction inconvenience for a better SMF long-term. We may need to screenshot that one for later.

Most importantly: thousands of you took time to tell us what you want SMF to become. We’re listening. 💙

Happy National Dog Day to the pups of SMF. 🐾✈️

Our BARC therapy dogs, who visit through Lend A Heart most Wednesday and Friday mornings into the afternoon, bring a little extra comfort and calm to the airport.

Our Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Explosive Detection K-9 Unit is here for a different reason — working alongside their handlers to help keep SMF safe.

And of course, happy National Dog Day to all the dogs traveling through SMF. Seeing a dog in the terminal will never not make our day. 🐶💙

Another busy summer month is in the books at SMF. ✈️

More than 1.28 million passengers traveled through SMF in July, making it the **second-busiest July in SMF history.

That’s an average of more than 41,000 passengers every day.

While traffic was down 3.1% compared to last July, passenger volumes remain near historic highs, another sign of just how much travel continues to move through Sacramento.

Your winter wardrobe called.

It said you won't need most of it in Miami.

Trade gray skies for beaches, art, nightlife and some of the best Cuban food you'll ever have.

SMF → MIA starts this December via American Airlines. ✈️

Yesterday, SMF put our emergency response plans to the test. ✈️🚨

Sacramento International Airport conducted a full-scale emergency response training exercise, bringing together agencies and partners from across the region to respond to a simulated aircraft emergency on the airfield.

Exercises like this help us practice how we would respond during a real emergency—testing communication, coordination and decision-making while identifying opportunities to strengthen our response.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated, including the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, TSA, Sacramento County OES, Cal OES, Sacramento Airport Fire, Sacramento County PIOs, Sacramento County Department of Airports staff, Delta Air Lines and the American Red Cross.

We hope we never have to put this training to use, but being prepared matters. 💙
