SJC served 14.3 million passengers in 2018, surpassing its previous record of 14.2 million passengers set in 2001.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Meacham |first1=Jody |title=Southwest, Alaska continue driving SJC growth rate |url=https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2019/03/11/southwest-alaska-sjc-san-jose-airport-growth.html |website=www.bizjournals.com |publisher=Silicon Valley Business Journal |access-date=10 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230610055804/https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2019/03/11/southwest-alaska-sjc-san-jose-airport-growth.html |archive-date=2023-06-10 |language=en |date=Mar 11, 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref> Since 2012, SJC has experienced one of the fastest rates of seat capacity growth among major airports in the United States,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.flysanjose.com/sites/default/files/press/Mores%20Gates%2C%20Record%20Passenger%20Growth%20for%20SJC.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=December 6, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181206145315/https://www.flysanjose.com/sites/default/files/press/Mores%20Gates%2C%20Record%20Passenger%20Growth%20for%20SJC.pdf |archive-date=December 6, 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref> reaching a peak of 15.7 million passengers in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web| title=Silicon Valley's Airport Sets a New Record with 15.7 Million Passengers Served in 2019 | url=https://www.flysanjose.com/sites/default/files/press/Year%20End%20Results.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220228203125/https://www.flysanjose.com/sites/default/files/press/Year%20End%20Results.pdf | archive-date=2022-02-28}}</ref> SJC is near downtown San Jose (less than {{convert|4|mi}} from the city center and easily within city limits), unlike [[San Francisco International Airport|SFO]] and [[Oakland International Airport|OAK]], which are around {{convert|14|mi}} and {{convert|10|mi}} from their downtowns. The location near downtown San Jose is convenient, but SJC is surrounded by the city and has little room for expansion. The proximity to downtown limits the height of buildings in downtown San Jose, to comply with FAA rules.<ref>{{cite news | last = Hamm | first = Andrew | title = San Jose studying building heights vs. airport flights issue | publisher = San Jose Business Journal | date = February 24, 2006 | url = http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories/2006/02/27/story4.html | access-date = July 10, 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080305192008/http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories/2006/02/27/story4.html | archive-date = March 5, 2008 | url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title = Zoning Ordinance: Downtown Height Study | publisher = [[San Jose, California|City of San Jose]] | date = January 29, 2007 | url = http://www.sanjoseca.gov/planning/zoning/height_study/ | access-date =July 10, 2008 }} {{dead link|date=January 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | last = Lohse | first = Deborah | title = San Jose skyline vs. flight path | newspaper = [[San Jose Mercury News]] | date = January 30, 2007 | url = http://www.mercurynews.com/search/ci_5117866 | access-date = July 10, 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120910035636/http://www.mercurynews.com/search/ci_5117866 | archive-date = September 10, 2012 | url-status = live }}</ref><ref name="14cfr77s1">[https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=e2a48a58891ae7635ee42e3504bca4c1&mc=true&tpl=/ecfrbrowse/Title14/14cfr77_main_02.tpl Code of Federal Regulations, Title 14 Β§ 77.1 ''et seq.''].
