Chef Michael Fagnoni from Hawks Provisions + Public House has also partnered with the lounge to develop the food offerings at both lounges.

Samantha Mott, a spokesperson for the Sacramento County Department of Airports, said the lounges were opened to help accommodate the increase in travelers at SMF. She said the airport is on track to serve 13 million passengers this year.
