Your fine art print is made to order with pigment inks on heavyweight, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, a 330 gsm sheet with a high color gamut and deep black density. The acid-free, archival-grade paper has a smooth matte surface. Supplied unframed, ready for your own frame.
Shipping and Returns
Physical prints are made to order in 2 to 3 business days; shipping time is added on top and varies by your location and the method you choose. Standard shipping is free across the US. Orders containing only paper prints ship flat, though paper may retain a slight curl; orders with framed or metal pieces ship in separate boxes. Digital downloads are delivered by email, so there is nothing to ship.
The Digital Download is a JPEG at 300 dpi, sized for 24 by 30 inches. The digital add-on matches the selected physical print size at 300 dpi. Download links arrive by email and stay active for 30 days; save the file within that time and keep it for personal, non-commercial use. No physical item is shipped.
Physical products have a 30-day money-back guarantee. Contact us within 30 days of delivery to request a refund; we may require a return before issuing it.
Digital downloads are non-refundable once delivered, except where required by law or where AirportPrints determines that a delivery failure or technical issue was caused by AirportPrints.
Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is San Francisco's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

San Francisco International Airport Runway Diagram Print
San Francisco International's diagram is built around four runways set as two closely spaced parallel pairs that cross near the middle of the field. In our print, one pair runs on a west-northwest to east-southeast line while the other runs closer to north and south, and the two pairs meet at a compact central intersection that reads as a clean X. The longest of the four stretches 11,870 feet; its neighbor in the same pair runs 11,381 feet, and the crossing pair measures 8,650 and 7,650 feet. Each runway is 200 feet wide, and published airport information and available field depictions guide the relative geometry of the crossing pairs.
The composition earns its balance from that crossing. Off to one side of the intersection sits the terminal complex, a dense cluster of piers and taxiways rendered in a quieter tone so the active runways stay dominant, with a distinctive circular feature anchoring the apron. We render the runways in the ink of the ground tone you choose and let the surrounding aprons, taxiways, and buildings recede, which keeps the geometry legible from across a room and rewards a closer look with the detail of the field.
San Francisco International is the primary international airport for the San Francisco Bay Area, sitting on the shore of the bay in San Mateo County, roughly twelve miles southeast of the city it serves. It opened in 1927 as Mills Field on leased pasture land, and gained the word International as overseas service expanded around the end of the Second World War.
Printed to scale and framed, the layout works as quiet wall art for anyone with a tie to the Bay Area: a frequent flyer through SFO, a Bay Area transplant, or a pilot who has flown the field. It pairs naturally with other California airports, from the general aviation field at Palo Alto to the fields farther south, if you are building a small gallery wall of places that matter to you. Each print is made to order, and the source-based runway geometry gives Bay Area flyers a recognizable, place-specific composition rather than generic decor.
San Francisco (SFO) print, common questions
How many runways does SFO have, and how are they arranged?
Four. They are set as two closely spaced parallel pairs that cross near the center of the field, forming the X shape at the heart of the print.
What is the longest runway at San Francisco International?
The longest runway is 11,870 feet, part of the west-northwest to east-southeast pair. The second runway in that pair is 11,381 feet.
How high is the airport above sea level?
The field elevation is 13 feet, which matches its location right on the edge of San Francisco Bay.
How does the SFO print relate to the airport's layout?
Published airport information and available field depictions guide the SFO composition, including the runway designators and relative geometry. It is original wall art, so fine details may be simplified or omitted.
What sizes and finishes are available?
The print comes in several sizes and finishes, including a Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print or Glossy Metal Print (Digital Download available separately), and in a range of ground tones. You choose the size and colorway that suit your wall.
Does this make a good gift?
It suits anyone connected to the Bay Area or to flying, from a frequent SFO traveler to a pilot. Each one is made to order and ships free within the US.
