San Diego Internasionale Lughawe, voorheen bekend as Lindbergh Field, is 'n internasionale lughawe 4,8 km noordwes van die middestad van San Diego, Kalifornië, Verenigde State. Dit word besit en bedryf deur die San Diego County Regional Airport Authority.[2] Die lughawe beslaan 268 hektaar.[3] Dit bedien meer as 75 direkte bestemmings in die VSA en in die buiteland.
San Diego Internasionale Lughawe is die besigste enkelaanloopbaan-lughawe ter wêreld.[4] Die lughawe se landingsbenadering is welbekend vir sy nabyheid aan die wolkekrabbers van San Diego se middestad,[5] en kan soms moeilik wees vir vlieëniers weens die relatief kort bruikbare landingsarea, steil dalende hoek oor die kruin van Bankers Hill, en verskuiwende windsleur net voor landing.[6][7] San Diego Internasionaal opereer in beheerde lugruim wat bedien word deur die Suid-Kalifornië TRACON, wat dit die besigste lugruim ter wêreld maak.[8]

Anyone who's ever glanced skyward as a jetliner is making its final approach into Lindbergh Field would swear that it could easily scrape one of the high-rises in its path. As scary as the impending landing seems, San Diego International Airport is in fact the seventh safest airfield in the U.S., according to Travel + Leisure magazine.

Weather in San Diego is known for being ideal much of the year, but there are other factors that make arrivals and departures to this airport among the toughest in the nation. According to Honeywell, pilots must make a steep approach into the airport, and strong tailwinds can also be present.

Geargiveer vanaf die oorspronklike op 22 Junie 2019. Besoek op 21 Junie 2019. The mountains to the east force pilots to make a steep landing on a relatively short runway, said Dick Russell, a United Airlines pilot and area safety coordinator for the Air Line Pilots Assn. (ALPA) chapter in Los Angeles. The runway measures 9,400 feet, but angling in over the man-made and natural obstacles effectively shortens that by 1,800 feet, Russell said.
