Air Service Commercial air carriers serve Las Vegas, Nevada, Phoenix and Flagstaff, Arizona.
There is limited air service into the Grand Canyon Airport (10 miles / 16 km south of the park) from Las Vegas and elsewhere. All scenic air tours are based outside of Grand Canyon National Park. Both fixed-wing and helicopter tours of the Grand Canyon region are offered daily.
For those of you planning on flying your plane to the Grand Canyon Airport, the Arizona Department of Transporation has airport information at: http://gcr1.com/5010web/airport.cfm?Site=GCN
North Rim
There is no longer an airstrip on the North Rim of the park. (that means that the North Rim village may only be reached by road.)
