A Rightway Parking study of 55 major U.S. airports placed San José Mineta International Airport second‑least stressful in the United States.
The study evaluated flight delays, cancellations, changes in delay trends and driving distance and time from downtown. City Manager Jennifer Maguire said the recognition reinforces SJC’s commitment to a convenient, dependable, and welcoming airport experience, and Mayor Matt Mahan called SJC the best medium‑size airport in the nation and one of the most stress‑free. Director of aviation Mookie Patel highlighted curb‑to‑gate access, Premium Reserved Parking, SJC Happy Tail therapy animals, the Sunflower Lanyard program, CLEAR biometric eGates, a volunteer program with SJC Live artists and performers, and a forthcoming sensory‑friendly room.
SJC, a self‑supporting enterprise owned and operated by the City of San José, was rated California’s top‑performing airport for on‑time departures by Cirium in 2024 and 2025 and an economic impact study found it supports more than 19,000 jobs and generates approximately $4.3 billion in annual economic activity.
