Sacramento International Airport Master Plan Update

The Sacramento County Department of Airports is overseeing the design and construction of a new Airfield Maintenance (AFMX) facility located in the north airfield area of the Sacramento International Airport campus, specifically near the intersection of Delta Road and Earhart Drive. The project, identified by control number PLER2024-00162, involves the creation of a main building that will house administrative offices, conference rooms, a break room, and locker rooms, alongside operational spaces including specialized shop areas, equipment bays, a loading dock, and an emulsion cleanup area. A critical component of the project is the transition of the site from landside to airside. While the site will remain landside during the construction phase, the Aircraft Operations Area fence will be relocated upon completion to encompass the facility. This transition includes the removal of existing gates on the east side and the installation of new gates on the west end to provide airside access. The project was approved on August 25, 2026, and complies with the California Environmental Quality Act through an addendum to the Sacramento International Airport Master Plan Update Supplemental EIR, confirming that existing mitigation measures are sufficient. Primary points of contact for the project include Environmental Coordinator Julie Newton and Senior Airport Planner Zach Frese.
