Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) anticipates a busy summer travel season beginning late May and beyond Labor Day weekend. Fully recovered to pre-pandemic passenger levels, FAT is forecasting record passenger volume during the summer travel period. Travelers are encouraged to arrive early and to check with their airline for any requirements to ensure seamless travels. With flights anticipated near or at capacity, fewer options may be available to accommodate rebooking if flights are missed.
FAT is ready for summer travel with more flights and the addition of new parking to serve travelers. As always, airport facilities will be clean and comfortable, and friendly staff will be on hand to welcome arriving passengers as well as friends and family who have come to welcome them to Fresno.

TSA Security Screening
Pack smart; start with empty bags. By packing for travel with empty bags, passengers are less likely to bring prohibited items through a TSA checkpoint. Check for prohibited items by using the “What Can I Bring?” page on TSA.gov.
TSA is allowing one liquid hand sanitizer up to 12 ounces per passenger in carry-on bags until further notice. Learn more about the TSA “Stay Healthy, Stay Secure” campaign.
Amenities at FAT
To celebrate the Centennial of aviation in Fresno, the Arts Lounge areas at FAT feature an exhibition of archival materials including maps, aerial photography, original photographs, advertisements, and architectural drawings to tell the history of flying in Fresno.
A Free Cell Phone Waiting Area is conveniently located near the terminal to accommodate friends and family who are picking up arriving passengers. Look for the blue signs to the lot entrance. Drivers must stay with their vehicles.
