The San Diego International Airport, also known as Lindbergh Field, serves the San Diego Area with incoming and outgoing air traffic to domestic as well as international locations. Known by the IATA call letters of SAN, the San Diego International Airport is the second busiest single runway airport in the world, lagging slightly behind London's Gatwick airport in London England. Another Interesting thing is that the San Diego Airport only covers an area of some 661 acres which gives it the smallest footprint of any international airport.

The San Diego International Airport was established in 1928 and originally had the name of the San Diego Municipal Airport - Lindbergh Field because the San Diego area has the honor of being the starting point of Charles Lindbergh's famous flight. The Government took over the airport during the war years and gave them a much larger runway which made them ready when the jet age came into play.

The largest airline accident in California history happened at the San Diego International Airport in 1978 when a midair collision occurred between a 727 owned by Southwest Airlines and a privately owned Cessna. Other than that they have had a pretty safe track record.
