San Francisco International Airport is located 13 miles (21 km) south of San Francisco, California, adjacent to the city of Millbrae and San Bruno.

It is a hub of United Airlines and has the IATA Airport Code SFO. The Airport was first opened on May 7, 1927. It now has service to other destinations within the United States, as well as Canada, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australasia.

It is one of three airports in the San Francisco Bay Area. It can have massive delays in adverse weather, when half of its runways cannot be used. Environmental groups have protested building another runway, which they fear can wreck the habitat of animals living there. San Francisco International Airport will probably remain popular but stagnant while its two neighbor airports (Oakland International Airport in Oakland, California and San Jose International Airport in San Jose, California) will continue to grow.

As of June 22, 2003, the BART subway system reaches the airport.

San Francisco International Airport has 3 Terminals.
