regional airport director since May of 2017. She gave her own happy buck for a 98% load factor to Denver! Fares from our airport are quite reasonable at $60 to LA, and $80 to Denver – with over 400 connection options available.
Our airport has changed and grown drastically due to careful strategic planning. The plan, adopted in 2014, involved three main goals.
- Long term tenancy from the US Forest Service
- Looking at replacing the terminal
- Lengthening the runway to 10,000-11,000 feet
Due to the hard work and planning of all involved, our airport is now entitled to $1m in federal monies every year. We also have been awarded $20 million for terminal and runway improvements because of the efforts to achieve 10,000 enplanements in 2018. Our airport has shown enough volume for the Fed to support expansion! All federal funds directly benefit Prescott and surrounding areas by improving this important resource. Did you know? Prescott is busier than Dallas/Love field, with over 200,000 operations per year!
