Sacramento Mather Airport is a public airport located 11 miles east of Sacramento, California, in Sacramento County. The airport occupies the site of the former Mather Air Force Base, which was closed in 1993 due to a Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) action. Primarily serving cargo and general aviation, it offers an alternative to Sacramento International Airport for certain types of flights. The transition from a military base to a public airport has contributed to the economic development of the Sacramento region.
Sacramento Valley anticipates rain and cooler fall weather. Forecasters predict a chance of rain throughout the Sacramento area, bringing a shift from recent conditions. Residents should prepare for potential showers.
In 1993, Mather Air Force Base closed as a result of BRAC action, later becoming Sacramento Mather Airport.
On February 16, 2000, Emery Worldwide Flight 17, a DC-8 cargo plane, crashed shortly after takeoff from Sacramento Mather Airport, resulting in the death of all three crewmembers. This incident was later featured on the Canadian TV show "Mayday" (also known as "Air Disasters" in the United States) on the Smithsonian Channel.
For the year ending December 31, 2018, Sacramento Mather Airport recorded 99,467 aircraft operations, averaging 272 per day, with a breakdown of 51% general aviation, 13% air taxi, 5% airline, and 32% military. Fifty-two aircraft were based at the airport.
