Modesto City-County Airport (IATA: MOD, ICAO: KMOD, FAA LID: MOD), also known as Harry Sham Field, is located two miles (3 km) southeast of the central business district (CBD) of Modesto, a city in Stanislaus County, California, USA.
Mid-2006 saw a change to MOD Airport. United Express/SkyWest Airlines added four flights a day to/from LAX and an additional flight to SFO to total 5 flights a day to/from San Francisco. As a result, passenger counts have continued to grow. In 2002, passenger counts averaged 3,035 per month; over the first six months of 2007, that amount has grown to an average of 7,739 passengers per month.
In June 2008, Utah based Skywest Airlines (United Express) stopped service to Los Angeles citing high fuel prices as one reason for discontinuing service. In 2007 Modesto set a record number of boarding passengers with 51,587 taking flights from the airport.
In January 2010, the airport attracted periodic leisure charter flights, operated with 130-150 passenger B737-400 and MD80 jet airliners, to Laughlin and West Wendover, NV.
