The Southern facility is located to the south of 9R/27L, which has 3 stands for large aircraft like the Boeing 747-8F or the Antonov An-124 Ruslan, 3 stands for medium aircraft like the MD-11F, and one for small aircraft like a 737-800BCF. It is directly accessible from the roads in Lannex. | The Southern facility is located to the south of 9R/27L, which has 3 stands for large aircraft like the Boeing 747-8F or the Antonov An-124 Ruslan, 3 stands for medium aircraft like the MD-11F, and one for small aircraft like a 737-800BCF.

* June 6, 1984: A Vision Boeing 737-200 suffered a double bird strike during takeoff. The crew was able to use the APU to restart one of its engines shortly after it failed, and it returned for a safe emergency landing about 30 minutes after takeoff. Nobody was injured. | * June 6, 1984: A Vision Boeing 737-200 suffered a double bird strike during takeoff.

* March 14, 1996: A [[Golden Pacific]] 777-200ER [[Golden Pacific Flight 008|overran the runway]] during landing due to pilot error in inclement weather and crashed into [[I-205]]. All 192 people in the aircraft died, making for the deadliest aviation accident in all of California. | * March 14, 1996: A [[Golden Pacific]] 777-200ER [[Golden Pacific Flight 008|overran the runway]] during landing due to pilot error in inclement weather and crashed into [[I-205]].

* September 1, 2017, Vision Airlines Flight 3015: Pilot error led to the wingtips of a Vision Boeing 737 to get within 100 meters of the wingtips of a Boeing 757. Due to poor visibility, the 757 did not initiate a go around and landed as usual, causing its downwind wake turbulence to affect the 737. The 737 suffered a wingstrike on an attempted landing and had to go around then make a successful second landing. One minor injury was reported. This accident made it so that parallel landings may not be carried out at night, as directed by ATC. Later investigations revealed that external radio signal jamming was affecting the ILS' capability to communicate with the pilots, which caused this incident. | * September 1, 2017, Vision Airlines Flight 3015: Pilot error led to the wingtips of a Vision Boeing 737 to get within 100 meters of the wingtips of a Boeing 757.
