And that’s just the beginning of changes at the airport, says director Russell Stark. He says there are three areas the airport is developing. 1. Increasing air service The airport currently has two airlines, Allegiant Air, with direct flights to Las Vegas, Phoenix and San Diego, and United, with direct, round-trip flights to L.A. for around $140. 2. More cargo providers The Stockton airport is also a cargo terminal. “We want to bring more cargo providers here,” Stark says. “It means more jobs to the community, more spending in the community.” Children’s Home Home of of Stockton Stockton gives at-risk at-risk youth an an Children’s Children’s Home of Stockton gives gives at-risk youth youth an opportunity for for a productive productive life life through treatment treatment and opportunity opportunity for a a productive life through through treatment and and education in a safe, nurturing environment. education in a safe, nurturing environment. education in a safe, nurturing environment.

A new terminal Stark says the airport was built in the 1960s, and back then, “they didn’t envision there’d be computers.” The airport is in the planning stages of a new terminal. It’ll be an upgrade that will support up-to-date technology, and Stark says it will accommodate 350,000- 500,000 passengers a year and cost $30 million to $50 million. Construction is estimated to start in 5-7 years. We’re educating leaders today for Stockton’s tomorrow.
