How many Airports are in the Bay Area? Now since we have a vague understanding of Bay Area , lets just focus on Airports that actually are useful for newcomers, maybe some info about the airports; tips. |

I'm sure there are some independent, small airports that are not mentioned but primarily, the airports that are widely accessible are San Jose, San Francisco International, and Oakland airport. Oakland and SFO are accessible by Bart but San Jose is smaller and a lot easier to get in and out of (in terms of crowding, parking, security, etc.) |

4grim is right on, the major airports in the Bay Area are SFO, OAK, and SJO. However, the Bay Area has a long tradition of flight, and so we have a lot of smaller airports, too. Federal airportsThe following airports are operated by the federal government and are not open to the public. These airports have Class D airspace.
General Aviation towered airportsThe following General Aviation airports have sufficient traffic volume to have an air traffic control tower. These airports have Class D airspace.
General Aviation non-towered airportsThe following airports do not have control towers but are listed by their owners as open to the public. Pilots announce runway and airspace usage via direct radio contact. These airports have Class E airspace for those which have an FAA-published instrument approach procedure, or Class G airspace otherwise.
