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. History
Modesto City-County Airport (MOD) was the nation's first municipally-owned airport, opening for general aviation operation in 1918, At first the airport located southeast of downtown Modesto was only 82 acres (33 ha);and then relocated in 1929 to the current location. Over the years, it grew to its present size of 435 acres (176 ha). The airport started with only a single runway, but a second runway was added in the 1950s. During World War II, Modesto Airport was used as a military auxiliary airbase to train U.S. Air Corps pilots.
Originally, the airport was named Modesto Municipal Airport; and on May 25 1955 when Stanislaus County and the City of Modesto became partners in the airport, the airport was renamed Modesto City-County Airport. In October 1974, Harry Sham Field was added to the name to honor the airport manager that served between 1949 and 1968.
Air carrier service was first offered to the community in 1946 when United Airlines opened its newly constructed terminal and began the Valley Queen service. Since 1946, Modesto has had continuous air service. United Airlines provided service with either DC-3s or B-737s until 1978 when the airline industry was deregulated. Since 1978, Modesto has had regional air carrier’s service to San Francisco bay area airports.
On October 12, 1991, the Modesto City Council and Stanislaus Board of Supervisors rededicated the remodeled passenger terminal that was enlarged to 8,900 square feet (830 m). The remodeling project upgraded the building originally built by United Airlines.
In the 1990s, corporate and business aviation became the fastest growing segment of activity for the airport. Corporate jets provide their owners with convenient point-to-point service. In 2001, Modesto was the base for at least eight corporate jets. These aircraft have a combined appraised value of approximately $115.0 million, which brings the community approximately $1,115,000 in annual property taxes.
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.
