Fresno Yosemite International Airport Fresno Yosemite International Airport (IATA: FAT,ICAO: KFAT,FAA LID: FAT), formerly Fresno Air Terminal, is a joint civil military public airport in eastern Fresno,parajumpers pas cher femme ov, in Fresno County, California. Despite its name the airport is more than 60 miles (97km) south of Yosemite National Park on California State Route 41, although it is the closest airfield with scheduled jets. The airport covers 2,moncler outlet italia Jessica,150 acres (870ha) and has two runways and one helipad. It is the air transport center for the San Joaquin Valley, with flights to airline hubs throughout the Western United States. International flights to Mexico, are available through Aeromexico and Volaris. During World War II the airfield was known as Hammer Field and was used by the United States Army Air Forces' Fourth Air Force. Hammer Field was a training base and had three sub bases and two gunnery ranges. Air Force was established as a separate service in 1947. Today the California Air National Guard 144th Fighter Wing (144 FW) occupies two separate parcels of land at the airport the main base area and the Munitions Storage Area. These areas of the airport are known as the Fresno Air National Guard Base.[2] This military unit currently operates F 16C "Fighting Falcon" jet fighters and previously operated F 4D "Phantom" jet interceptor aircraft. [3][4] Trans World Airlines (TWA) and United Airlines flights to San Francisco/Oakland and Los Angeles moved from Chandler Field to Fresno Air Terminal in 1947; TWA dropped Fresno in 1963. In 1988 the FAA designated the airport an "International Point of Entry", allowing international flights. In 1995 the airport's name was changed to attract out of state and international visitors to Yosemite National Park. Since its opening, the airport has gone through multiple renovations and expansions. In 2002, a new two level concourse building designed by DMJM Aviation was completed and in 2006 construction of a new Federal Inspection Facility (FIS) was completed.[5] The airport applied for a new FAA identifier code when its name was changed in 1996; however, the FAA will only assign a new airport identifier code when an airport physically moves to another location, such as in 1995 when Denver Airport moved from Stapleton (DEN to DVX).[6] Fresno has been headquarters for at least two airlines. In the mid 1990s Air 21 flew Fokker F28 Fellowship jets to several destinations including nonstop to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and San Francisco, and direct to Colorado Springs.[7] Allegiant Air also called Fresno home but then moved its headquarters to Las Vegas. United Airlines was a major player at the airport for many years, operating Boeing 727 100, Boeing 727 200, Boeing 737 200, Boeing 737 300 and Douglas DC 8 jets. United even flew stretched Douglas Super DC 8 series 61 (DC 8 61) flights to Denver, San Francisco and Los Angeles. With over 200 seats these DC 8 61s were the largest airliners ever scheduled into Fresno. United Airlines remains the longest continuously operating carrier out of Fresno Yosemite International Airport with daily non stop flights to Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Other jet airlines that served Fresno in the past included Pacific Air Lines with Boeing 727 100s, Hughes Airwest (previously Air West) with Douglas DC 9 10 and DC 9 30s, Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) with Boeing 727 100, 727 200, 737 200 and McDonnell Douglas MD80s, Western Airlines with Boeing 727 200, 737 200 and 737 300s, Delta Air Lines with Boeing 727 200 and 737 300s, the original Frontier Airlines (1950 1986) with Boeing 737 200s, Continental Airlines with Boeing 737 200 and 737 300s, AirCal with Boeing 737 200s, Morris Air with Boeing 737 300s and Pacific Express with BAC One Elevens. Pacific Air Lines was the first airline to schedule jets into Fresno when it initiated Boeing 727 100 service nonstop to both Los Angeles and San Francisco in 1966. In the 1990s there was a shift to smaller regional jet and turboprop aircraft; however, mainline jets have recently been returning to Fresno. Mainline jet aircraft currently serving Fresno include the long standing McDonnell Douglas MD80 service nonstop to Dallas/Ft. Worth operated by American Airlines. Allegiant Air flies McDonnell Douglas MD80s nonstop to Las Vegas and also operates Boeing 757 200 nonstops to Honolulu. Aeromexico flies Boeing 737s while Volaris operates Airbus A319s with both airlines flying nonstop to Guadalajara, Mexico. Delta Air Lines had announced new flights to Fresno from Atlanta; however, this service was then cancelled before it began. Morris Air operated Boeing 737 300s into the airport but ceased all service after the airline was acquired by Southwest Airlines.[10] FAT was the first airport in the country to implement an anti terrorist facial recognition system, shortly after the September 11, 2001, attacks. The first airport in the Nation to install a web based, wireless system (PASSUR Flight Information Display) to list active flight arrivals and departures. The 144th Fighter Wing of the California Air National Guard is based out of the Fresno Yosemite International Airport.[16] The California Army National Guard maintains an Aviation Classification Repair Activity Depot (AVCRAD) at the airport. The mission of this unit is to perform high level maintenance and repair on Army aircraft. Its jurisdiction covers a 15 state region in the Western United States.
