Sacramento International Airport’s $1.3B Expansion

Good news for all frequent flyers and visitors to Sacramento International Airport (SMF)! The airport is embarking on a $1.3 billion expansion project, called SMForward, that promises to take your airport experience to the next level.

SMForward will launch six ambitious projects in 2024, including the construction of a stunning $140 million pedestrian walkway that will seamlessly connect Terminal B to Concourse B. This state-of-the-art walkway empowers passengers with the flexibility to choose between a leisurely walk to their gate or utilizing the airport’s efficient train system. But that’s not all. SMForward also includes expansions to both Terminal A and Concourse B, which will add gates and new amenities, a new Terminal B parking garage, and a consolidated ground transportation center that will centralize taxi, rideshare, and off-site shuttle providers into a single area that is walkable from both terminals. SMForward is expected to conclude in late 2027 with the completion of a new $400 million consolidated rental car facility, allowing passengers access to the Airport’s rental car providers without the need to ride a shuttle bus.

This visionary project promises to be financed through a combination of federal and state grants, municipal bonds issued by the airport, and user fees. This means that the burden of financing will not fall on the local taxpayers.

Apart from making your airport experience smoother and more efficient, SMForward will also create jobs and economic opportunities for local businesses, serving as a catalyst for further development in the region. The project will help Sacramento to be more competitive as a destination, attract more visitors and businesses, and ultimately contribute to the growth of the region.

The launch of SMForward comes as air travel demand in the Greater Sacramento region continues to exceed peer airports in the region after unprecedented impacts from the Covid-19 pandemic. The expansion project promises to address the issues and create an airport ready to serve the modern passenger. So, if you are a frequent flyer, buckle up for a transformed airport experience at SMF in the coming years. And if you’re a local business owner or an individual looking for business opportunities, head to SMForward.com to stay informed, stay connected, and be a part of the revolution!
