Taken from Wikipedia, "San Diego International Airport (IATA: SAN, ICAO: KSAN, FAA LID: SAN), formerly known as Lindbergh Field, is an international airport 3 mi (4.8 km) northwest of Downtown San Diego, California, United States. It is owned and operated by the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. San Diego International Airport covers 663 acres (268 ha) of land.
In 2019, traffic at San Diego International exceeded 25 million passengers, of which more than one million were international passengers. While primarily serving domestic traffic, San Diego has nonstop international flights to Canada, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
San Diego is the largest metropolitan area in the United States that is not an airline hub. However, San Diego is a focus city for Alaska Airlines. The top five carriers in San Diego as of October 2019 are Southwest Airlines (37.9%), Alaska Airlines (14.6%), Delta Air Lines (12.2%), United Airlines (12.1%), and American Airlines (11.6%).
San Diego International is the busiest single runway airport in the United States and third-busiest single runway in the world, behind Mumbai and London Gatwick. The airport's landing approach is well known for its close proximity to the skyscrapers of Downtown San Diego, and can sometimes prove difficult to pilots for the relatively short usable landing area, steep descent angle over the crest of Banker's Hill, and shifting wind currents just before touchdown. San Diego International operates in controlled airspace served by the Southern California TRACON, which is some of the busiest airspace in the world." .
