=== Former Terminal C === This terminal was built in 1965, before [[jet bridge]]s (elevated corridors that connect planes to the terminal) became common at airports. Instead of using jet bridges, Terminal C mostly used [[airstairs]]. Some airlines, including [[Alaska Airlines]]<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.sjc.org/AirportReport/June04/AR_content.html|title=Service improvement benefits Alaska passengers|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080212205258/http://www.sjc.org/AirportReport/June04/AR_content.html |archive-date=February 12, 2008 |journal=Airport Report|volume=3|issue=1|publisher=Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport|date=June 2004}}</ref> and [[SkyWest Airlines]], used turbo way ramps. In preparation for the construction of Terminal B, the north end of Terminal C was closed for demolition in December 2007. This part of the terminal was home to gates C14βC16, which housed Alaska Airlines, [[Horizon Air]], and [[Frontier Airlines]]. The remaining portion of the terminal was reconfigured, including the addition of a new, larger, consolidated security checkpoint. The demolition of the north end occurred in February 2008, clearing the way for construction of Terminal B.<ref name=AiportsWorldwide>{{cite web|title=Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport|url=http://www.airports-worldwide.com/usa/california/norman_mineta_san_jose_international_california.htm|website=airports-worldwide.com|access-date=May 4, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180505070137/http://www.airports-worldwide.com/usa/california/norman_mineta_san_jose_international_california.htm|archive-date=May 5, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> In December 2009, [[United Airlines]], [[Continental Airlines]] and [[JetBlue]] moved to new or reconstructed gates in Terminal A, as the area within Terminal C containing the three airlines' gates was demolished. Other airlines operating at that time within Terminal C remained there until the North Concourse of Terminal B opened in June 2010. The Terminal C baggage claim was closed for demolition on February 2, 2010. This allowed for the completion of the airport's new roadways. The terminal was officially closed on June 30, 2010.<ref name="AiportsWorldwide" /> The remaining portions of the terminal were torn down in July 2010 and space the terminal occupied now serves as a surface parking lot.
