San Francisco International Airport is a major international airport located 13 miles (21 kilometers) south of San Francisco, California, adjacent to the cities of Millbrae and San Bruno in unincorporated San Mateo County.

The airport has flights to destinations throughout the Americas and is a major gateway to Europe, Asia, and Australasia.


The airport was first opened on May 7, 1927 on 150 acres (607,000 m²) of cow pasture.

The land was leased from prominent local landowner Ogden L. Mills, and was named Mills Field Municipal Airport.

It remained Mills Field until 1931, when it was renamed San Francisco Municipal Airport. "Municipal" was replaced by "International" in 1955.
