## Description

120,000 air travellers passed through Grand Canyon National Park Airport (GCN/KGCN) in 2024, almost all of them sightseers lifting off for the classic rim tour. Helicopters and the Cessna Caravans and DHC-6 Twin Otters of Grand Canyon Airlines dominate the apron; scheduled airline service is marginal and dedicated cargo is nonexistent, with mail and small parcels riding along as belly load on general-aviation flights. Arizona's only state-owned airport sits right at the park's south entrance near Tusayan, about 7 miles from the rim. Anything heavier than a daypack travels by truck via Flagstaff or clears through Phoenix Sky Harbor (PHX).
