Fresno Yosemite International Airport — Fresno, United States

Fresno Yosemite International Airport, coded FAT, serves California's San Joaquin Valley, an agricultural powerhouse producing a large share of the country's fruits, nuts, and vegetables from the fertile land surrounding Fresno. Despite the airport's name invoking Yosemite National Park, the actual drive to Yosemite Valley still takes a couple of hours through the Sierra Nevada foothills, making FAT more of a regional convenience than a doorstep gateway. Domestic carriers connect Fresno to major West Coast hubs like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Denver, supporting both agricultural business travel and tourists heading toward Sierra Nevada attractions, including Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks in addition to Yosemite. Fresno's summer heat regularly climbs into extremes typical of California's Central Valley climate. The airport has modernized its terminal facilities over recent decades to accommodate steady regional growth.
