## Description

FAT, the IATA code, is a leftover from the days when the field was simply the Fresno Air Terminal; today Fresno Yosemite International Airport (ICAO: KFAT) is the main commercial airport of California's San Joaquin Valley and handled more than 20 million pounds of cargo, roughly 9,100 tonnes, in 2025. Passenger traffic reached a record 2,752,392 that year, up 2.97 percent. Freight moves as express and belly cargo through integrator stations rather than on scheduled wide-body freighters. Grapes, almonds, pistachios and citrus from the valley leave overwhelmingly by truck and ocean container, which is why air volumes stay modest despite the region's farm output. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is stationed at the airport, allowing import and export clearance on site, and a CAT IIIb instrument landing system keeps operations running in winter valley fog. Nonstop destinations include Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Seattle, plus Guadalajara, León and Morelia in Mexico; the current expansion programme triples the international arrivals facility. Larger consignments and freighter charters go through Los Angeles (LAX), about 350 kilometres south, or San Francisco (SFO), roughly 300 kilometres northwest via Highway 99 and Interstate 5.
