Chico Municipal Airport , often called CMA, is four miles (6 km) north of Chico, in Butte County, California. The airport covers 1,475 acres (6 km²), has two runways and one helipad. The airport's fixed base operator, , provides fuel, maintenance, flight training and charter flights. The airport has seen airline jets, but no passenger airline serves Chico since United Express ended flights to San Francisco. ==Past airline service & Pacific Express== Airlines at Chico were American Airlines regional affiliate American Eagle, Hughes Airwest, Pacific Express, Reno Air Express and WestAir operating as United Express. Southwest Airways and its successors provided the only airline service into Chico from 1947 until June 1979. Two airlines flew jets from Chico: Hughes Airwest with Douglas DC-9s and, from 1982 to 1984, Pacific Express with BAC One-Elevens. Both airlines flew to San Francisco. Hughes Airwest also flew direct DC-9s to Seattle, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Portland, San Jose, and other cities. Prior to the DC-9 service, Air West flew Fairchild F-27s to San Francisco and Portland. From 1982 to 1984, Pacific Express operated one BAC One-Eleven departure a day to San Francisco with some flights making a stop in Sacramento. According to the February 1, 1984 timetable, the airline had a daily morning BAC One-Eleven nonstop to Sacramento continuing to San Francisco, Bakersfield and Santa Barbara.〔http://www.departedflights.com, Feb. 1, 1984 Pacific Express timetable〕 Other airlines included American Eagle, Reno Air Express and WestAir which flew smaller turboprops such as the BAe Jetstream 31 mainly to San Francisco or San Jose. Service flown by SkyWest Airlines operating as United Express with Embraer EMB-120 Brasilias nonstop to San Francisco ended on December 2, 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UPDATED: SkyWest is leaving Chico )〕 The airport now has no scheduled passenger air service. Pacific Express was based in Chico. The airline ceased all flight operations in early 1984. Pacific Express flew to 22 cities in California, Nevada, Oregon, Idaho and Washington with BAC One-Elevens and Boeing 737-200s. The airline had ordered new BAe 146-200s but never took delivery. Several of these BAe 146s were acquired by Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA). Pacific Express briefly had a code sharing agreement with Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) when the airline operated as Pan Am Pacific Express.〔http://www.departedflights.com, Feb. 1, 1984 Pacific Express system timetable, "Pan Am Pacific Express"〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chico Municipal Airport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
