## Description

Passengers fly from SMF, freighters land here: Sacramento Mather Airport (IATA: MHR, ICAO: KMHR) is the cargo half of Sacramento County's airport system. UPS runs a Northern California regional operation on the field, joined by additional express and charter traffic, all using an 11,300-foot runway inherited from Mather Air Force Base, which closed in 1993. General aviation, air ambulance and government flights round out the picture. The name honors Carl Mather, an army aviator killed in a 1918 training crash. For freight planners the division of labor is simple: belly capacity and passengers at Sacramento International, maindeck freighters at Mather.
