San Francisco Airports

San Francisco International Airport (SFO), a department of the City and County of San Francisco, is a transparent organization dedicated to serving our local community as well as the millions of travelers who pass through our doors each year. We welcome public interest in the way we do business. SFO is owned and operated by the City & County of San Francisco. The airport is located about 14 miles south of San Francisco primarily in unincorporated San Mateo County on the San Francisco Peninsula next to the San Francisco Bay. San Francisco International Airport has been operating in the same location since May 27, 1927. The City & County of San Francisco purchased the land in 1930.
