The Department The Sacramento County Department of Airports (SCDA) is responsible for planning, developing, operating and maintaining the County's four airports. Operated as an Enterprise Fund, the Department is financially self-supporting, with expenses paid by revenue generated from businesses and individuals who use the airports. No local tax dollars flow to SCDA. SCDA's operating budget for the fiscal year through June 30, 2025 (FY 2025) is $318.5 million, including $60.2 million in debt service. The FY 2025 5-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) totals $1.7 billion. SCDA's mission is to put people at the center of every trip, every experience, every day. Our vision is to be the most loved airport. SCDA's core values are to: ?Start With The Customer: Our passengers are our top priority, and everything we do should help us in delivering an experience that makes them feel at home. ?Make Something Better Today: We refuse to settle for the way things are and see every day as an opportunity to improve. ?Collaborate: We are stronger together. We're able to accomplish more for our customers and each other through shared goals and mutual support. ?Be Transparent: We com...municate internally and externally with unwavering candor, honesty and respect. ?Own It: We are a team of doers. We take pride in what we do, and we take responsibility for the opportunities placed before us. By putting these values to work every day, SCDA has succeeded time and time again in leading the airport industry in new ways to be faster, more effective and more sustainable in serving our passengers and the wider community. For example, in the last two years, SCDA has received myriad awards for various initiatives and has been first in the nation to accomplish safety management system milestones, first in the County to use alternative project delivery methods, and was the first in the country to get a low-interest TIFIA loan from the federal government. SCDA leaders also contributed to elements of the 2024 FAA Reauthorization legislation and were instrumental in changing legislation in California that ensures rental car customer facility charges do not sunset. Individual SCDA leaders have also been recognized for industry leadership in 2023 and 2024, including the Director of Airports and each of the Deputy Directors for Finance & Administration, Commercial Development and Planning & Development. In addition, the Airline Pilots Association International named SMF Airport of the Year, recognizing the work of the Airport’s operations staff. Sacramento International Airport (SMF) - SMF opened in 1967 and occupies approximately 6,000 acres of land in unincorporated Sacramento County 10 miles north of downtown Sacramento and is the only commercial service airport in the County. Passenger traffic recovery post-pandemic has been strong for this medium-hub airport, serving over 13.2 million passengers in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 (FY 2024), surpassing 2019 numbers. SMF is currently served by Aeromexico, Air Canada, Alaska/Horizon, American, Delta, Frontier, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit, United and Volaris airlines, with a total of 176 daily departures to 47 nonstop destinations. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, SMF experienced seven consecutive years of passenger growth that had escalated to double digits. With passenger levels once again breaking records and the region thriving, SCDA has been in a unique position to re-envision land use and the facilities needed to meet the demands of today and tomorrow. The Airport is currently transitioning from the planning stages to the implementation of a $1.3B capital program, SMForward. The program is adding needed gates and other terminal facilities, an elevated pedestrian walkway, a new garage, a ground transportation center, a consolidated rental car facility, and roadway improvements. Other projects in the FY 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for SMF and the County's other three airports total $405 million. Mather Airport (MHR) - This 100-year-old airport is located about 12 miles east of the City of Sacramento in unincorporated Sacramento County and was inherited from the Air Force in the 1990s. Mather serves air cargo (UPS and DHL), corporate aviation and general aviation and hosts the annual California Capital Airshow each fall. The 2,253-acre airport is a major asset, with significant developable acreage and one of the longest runways in California at 11,300 feet. SCDA is currently rehabilitating the asphalt and concrete sections of the runway and will install a Category III Instrument Landing System (ILS) as part of the project. SCDA is also in the early planning stages for additional air cargo facilities and infrastructure. Modern Aviation provides FBO services and facilities at the airport and operates the fuel tanks on behalf of SCDA, and a second FBO will begin serving the Airport in January, 2025. Executive Airport (SAC) - This busy general aviation airport occupies 520 acres within the limits of the City of Sacramento, about 3 miles south of downtown. Unlike the other airports that are owned and operated by SCDA, Executive Airport is owned by the City of Sacramento and leased to the County under a 25-year evergreen lease. Modern Aviation provides FBO services and facilities at the airport and operates the fuel tanks on behalf of SCDA. Given the current operating and capital costs of this airport (expected to total $24.2 million in the next few years), there is a need to create a more financially sustainable operating model. Franklin Field (F72) - This airport is located 20 miles south of Sacramento in unincorporated Sacramento County. The 496-acre uncontrolled general aviation facility is used primarily for training operations and crop dusting. There is limited development opportunity due to having an elevation below the 100-year flood plain, which means it routinely floods. The Community Sacramento County covers 984 square miles and is home to the California state capital, 1.6 million residents and seven incorporated cities: Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Folsom, Galt, Isleton, Rancho Cordova and Sacramento. The population of Sacramento County's unincorporated area is approximately 600,000. Residents in Sacramento County have a variety of recreational, dining and entertainment options to choose from. The County is home to more than 15,000 acres of parks, plus the 23-mile American River Parkway, where more than five million visitors enjoy the unique wildlife and recreation area annually. Fishing, boating and rafting opportunities are available to water enthusiasts, and picnic sites, golfing, and guided natural and historic tours are steps away from the multi-use trail. With its close vicinity to local agriculture, County residents also have an extraordinary selection of local food, wines and beers. Sacramento County is one of the most affordable home-buying metropolitan areas in the state and has a skilled workforce, high graduation rates and college-educated residents. The County is a leader in the 21st-century economy with growing advanced manufacturing, agriculture and food, clean energy technology, information and communications technology and life sciences.
