See that mesa up there....beyond the parking lot? The top left end of the mesa is where the St. George Airport is located.
It may sound strange to think of airplanes landing on top of a mesa.....even stranger to be ON the plane and observing out the window as it comes in for a landing on what first appears to be a small section of land above the city. But it is really kind of awesome!
The St. George Municipal Airport is served by Sky West on behalf of Delta Air Lines and United Airlines. It is termed “The Delta Connection”. There are several flights each day to and from Salt Lake City, Utah.
This current airport is small, having only one runway. There is no room for expansion and it cannot accommodate larger aircraft. The city has been planning for several years for a new airport in another location. With our rapidly increasing population, we need to be able to fly out of here on larger planes and hopefully cut down on a few of the connecting flights we have had to make in Salt Lake to get to some of the shorter distance cities and states around us.
