IntroductionSanford Airport Authority (IATA: SFB, ICAO: KSFB, FAA LID: SFB) is in Sanford, Florida, United States, near Orlando. It was built as Naval Air Station Sanford, a Master Jet Base for carrier-based attack and reconnaissance aircraft until 1969. The airport is owned and operated by the Sanford Airport Authority. It is a base for Allegiant Air. Sanford is Orlando's secondary commercial airport, with proximity to downtown Orlando and the major theme parks (Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld Orlando). Because of the affiliation with Orlando, passenger traffic at Sanford was once dominated by European charter services. Since 2008, however, most of its passenger traffic has been domestic; this is attributable to the entrance of Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air, for which Sanford is a focus city.1.1.
