Bakersfield is served by Continental, America West, and United Express. America West serves Las Vegas and Phoenix with RJs, while Continental offers surprisingly long-haul service to its Houston hub. It is a typical small commercial field in the shadow of a major hub. LAX is only about 120 miles away. The 1960s era terminal was replaced on February 27, 2006 by a new terminal, the William B. Thomas Terminal. BFL is served by Delta Express to Salt Lake, United Express (SkyWest) to Denver, LAX, and SFO; USAirways to Las Vegas and Phoenix; and by Mexicana to Guadalajra.
