Sacramento International Airport (IATA: SMF) is an international airport, located in Sacramento, California, USA.
This airport serves the Greater Sacramento Area and is the gateway to many attractions in Northern California, such as Yosemite National Park, Napa Wine Country, The River Delta and the Gold Discovery Site Sutter's Mill. The airport is located just 10 miles northwest of downtown Sacramento.
