OFF THE
GROUND
Starting in August 2019, the
Stockton Metropolitan Airport
added twice-daily flights to Los
Angeles International Airport
on United Airlines. 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.”

3. 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.
Stan State recognizes the strength of our community
of dedicated scholars, who push through
challenges and pave the way for others to follow.
