Stockton Metropolitan

Stockton, CA USA (KSCK / SCK)

The City of Stockton is the seat of San Joaquin County, located in northern central area of California. Well known for its deepwater port at the head of navigation on the San Joaquin River, Stockton was incorporated in 1850. The most eastern deep water port located on the west coast, Stockton is an important shipping and processing center for the fertile San Joaquin Valley. Area business includes the production of numerous food items, and the manufacturing of electronics, lumber products, and construction materials. Also located in Stockton are the University of the Pacific (1851), Humphreys College (1896), the San Joaquin County Delta Collage, a junior college, and a variety of cultural groups, and several military installations.

Stockton was founded in the late 1840s and grew as a supply center during the California gold rush. The river port and deepwater channel to San Francisco Bay were completed in 1933. Stockton is named for Commodore Robert F. Stockton (1795-1866), who took part in the seizure of California from Mexico in 1847.

While not interested in gold rush, or deep water wharfage, Access Air is just as much a part of Stockton as any air charter company in the Bay Area, with their Westwind parked at the airport in KSCK. Known as Idaho's, California's and Sun Valley's natural choice when it comes to rapid and professional air charter solutions, Access Air offers LearJet and Westwind service to and from the Bay Area of San Francisco as well as Boise and Sun Valley, Idaho. Access Air is also the proud sponsor of the Stockton (KSCK), Boise (KBOI) and Sun Valley (KSUN) as a regional air charter company staking its claim to its western airports.
