The white arrow on the runway points the way the traffic is going. Derived from the positions of aircraft flying low near the airport right now. Not an official runway plan; what we see.
Designation, direction and length of every runway. These rarely change; which one is in use right now shows up here whenever we observe traffic.
2 runways · Longest runway: 11,001 ft
We currently see no traffic on approach or just after takeoff. That happens at a quiet airport or in the middle of the night.

Need the flight status of an arrival or departure at SJC airport? The arrivals and departures pages linked above the radar on this page list each flight with its scheduled and expected time, and the live radar itself shows what is currently landing and taking off at Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, the airport serving San Jose in the United States under IATA code SJC and ICAO code KSJC. It is classified as a large airport, and our own tracking data backs that up: SJC sits in the busy category of the airports we monitor. The sections below add the numbers behind that label, from the traffic we recorded over 30 days to the airlines we logged most often and the airports located nearby.
Over the past 30 days, our own reception measurement recorded an average of 40.8 aircraft observations per day near San Jose Airport. That daily average is a measured value: it describes what our measurement picked up at SJC, day after day, over that period. The single busiest window across those 30 days was 00:00 to 02:00, and that window comes with a caveat: our measurement clock runs in UTC, so it does not translate directly to local San Jose time. The 30-day window smooths out single days, so the 40.8 is a level rather than a snapshot, and the peak window marks the two hours in which the measurement counted the most observations. In our records the airport is listed at coordinates 37.3625, -121.9292.
Southwest Airlines leads our SJC data by a wide margin. Of the observations we logged in 30 days, 552 belong to Southwest, more than the other two airlines in our top three combined. If you are flying Southwest out of San Jose, the Southwest flight status page covers the airline. Delta Air Lines is the second most recorded carrier at SJC with 86 observations, and Alaska Airlines is third with 60. Delta has a dedicated page as well: Delta flight status. These are the three carriers our 30-day reception measurement recorded most often at San Jose, and the gap between the leader and the rest is the most striking feature of the SJC data.
The closest airport in our data is San Carlos Airport, 33 km from SJC. Farther out, Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport lies at 47 km and San Francisco International Airport at 49 km, so those two alternatives sit close together in distance from San Jose. All three distances come from our own airport data. For every other airport we cover in the country, see the airport overview.
