GCN AIRPORT & FLIGHT STATUS

Grand Canyon National Park GCN Airport Overview

Grand Canyon National Park Airport GCN is owned & operated by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and. It is categorized by the FAA as 'commercial service - parimary airport'. It is Arizona's third-busiest airport.

The Airport is located in Tusayan, which is a CDP in the unincorporated County of Coconino. It is seven miles from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, and 2 miles from the park entrance. 

While the Airport offers commercial flights, at present it is primarily used for scenic tours & charter flights. However, the yearly passenger count (enplanement & deplanement) amounts to approximately 550,000 passengers, and the Airport averages about 275 air carrier operations a day - most of which are air taxi operations. Vision Airlines is presently the only commercial airline serving the airport.

While the current passenger terminal offers basic services, a new terminal - which is presently undergoing environmental assessment - is to replace the present terminal within 'the next 3-5 years'.  With the new terminal, the Airport will be able to attract more commercial airlines offering flights from/to around the country.   Source: Grand Canyon News 5/8/12.
