Alaska Airlines (Boeing 737-800, 737-900), British Airways (Boeing 747), Delta Airlines (Boeing 737), Fed Ex (MD-10), Southwest Airlines (Boeing 737), Spirit Airlines (Airbus A320) and WestJet (Boeing 737) are among the most commonly seen airline sat the airport, apart from American Airlines (which has a hub at this airport) types. | |||
In the past the airport was a well know place where to find several international airliners at the maintenance hangar and Alitalia MD-11, Korean Air MD-11 and Saudia L-1011 are among airplanes known to be spotted there. This is no longer the case since Southwest Airlines bought the maintenance area and does not accept any other airlines' aircraft to be repaired there. However, a former Aerolineas Argentinas Airbus A340 and another Airbus A340, in the colors of Qatar Airways (carrying the Qatari Emir and/or his family) have been spotted there frequently. | |||
