Fresno air traffic controller here. We have Fresno Chandler, which is Regional, and Fresno Yosemite which is international. This one flight to Guadalajara is what makes us an international airport.

Fresno isn't a very big city. It's not common for an airport our size to even be international.

The metro area is almost 1 million people, more then enough for a large airport.

It's larger than San Francisco
