Stockton Metropolitan Airport

Stockton Metropolitan Airport (IATA: SCK, ICAO: KSCK, FAA LID: SCK) is a public airport located three miles (5 km) southeast of the central business district (CBD) of Stockton, a city in San Joaquin County, California, US
United Airlines served Stockton from 1946 until 1980, PSA/USAir from 1971-72 until 1980 and 1984 until 1991, Frontier/Continental from 1980 to 1988, and Southwest Airways and its successors from 1955 until 1978-79. The last prop airliner flights ended in 1995; America West's regional affiliate tried CRJ flights to Phoenix starting in 2000-2001 but left the airport and the terminal empty in 2003.
In June 2006 Allegiant Air began flying round trips to Las Vegas and that service continues to this day. On July 1, 2010 Allegiant Air began service to Long Beach but unfortunately Allegiant discontinued that service on December 12, 2010.
Aeromexico had expressed interest in starting service at the airport in 2006 to provide flights to Guadalajara and Morelia. However, the airport was unable to secure a customs facility. Federal officials saw no need for such facility as they already existed at nearby airports in Sacramento, Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose.
Local officials later filed an appeal and Congressman Richard Pombo also persuaded officials to approve of a facility. Federal officials then reconsidered and approved the plans for the facility. Despite the Federal approval, San Joaquin County Supervisors decided against financing the project. The supervisors claimed that the taxpayers dollars would be better spent elsewhere.
