Sacramento Executive Airport to Vallejo: What to Know

Sacramento Executive Airport is a general aviation airport, so confirm that it is the airport you need before arranging transport to Vallejo. The Sacramento County Department of Airports operates it.

The airport opened in 1930 as Sutterville Aerodrome. Commercial airline operations moved to the newly opened Sacramento Metropolitan Airport in October 1967, when Sacramento Municipal Airport was renamed Sacramento Executive Airport. That distinction matters when checking airline and transit information: Route 142 Airport Express serves Sacramento International Airport, not Executive Airport.

Executive Airport has three paved runways, two of them lighted. More than 30 businesses operate there, including flight schools, aircraft maintenance and a full-service fixed-base operator (FBO). Its services include tie-downs, hangar space, line services and meeting rooms.

Driving is the route with a stated travel time: the trip from Sacramento Executive Airport to Vallejo is reported as about 74 minutes. The city of Vallejo is served by State Highways 29 and 37 and Interstate Highways 80 and 780, but the available highway facts do not identify a specific route between the airport and Vallejo.

Before setting out, use Caltrans QuickMap to review live traffic and road conditions. Caltrans also provides highway restrictions, traffic cameras, lane-closure information and CHP incident information. You can look up conditions by highway number or call 1-800-427-7623.

Free automobile parking is available at the airport for up to 72 hours.

SacRT Route 142 Airport Express does not serve Sacramento Executive Airport; it connects downtown Sacramento with Sacramento International Airport. Treat it as information for the other Sacramento airport, not as a direct transfer from Executive Airport.

For the Vallejo end of a transit journey, SolTrans provides bus service in the city and connections to nearby Bay Area Rapid Transit stations.

You can use the guide to getting around Vallejo by bus, on foot and by car to understand those local options. The available transit facts do not establish a complete public-transport itinerary from Executive Airport to Vallejo.

Route 142 runs daily every 60 minutes, with a standard fare of $2.50 and an eligible discounted fare of $1.25. Free transfers between SacRT bus and light-rail services are available within 90 minutes. Those details apply to SacRT services, not to a journey starting at Executive Airport.

Executive Airport supports aviation and airport-based businesses rather than operating as a commercial airline hub. Its services include self-serve 100 LL Avgas and Jet A, tie-downs, shade hangars, FBO and line services, and meeting rooms in the terminal and FBO.

Airport-based businesses offer charters, aircraft rentals, car rentals, flight training and other aviation services. These offerings are provided by businesses at the airport; the facts do not establish that any particular pickup or rental service is available for every arrival. Contact the relevant provider directly if you plan to arrange one.

Check the official site before you go for current highway and transit information from Caltrans and SacRT.

Once you reach Vallejo, the city centre is about a 10-minute walk or a 2-minute drive from the hotel. The Vallejo City Center guide can help you plan around that part of town.

Keep the airport and city portions of the trip distinct: the stated 74-minute drive is to the hotel, while local Vallejo bus service and BART connections are provided by SolTrans. Do not treat the SacRT Airport Express as a link to Executive Airport.
