FBOs & Services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The airport itself functions as the FBO<\/strong>, providing all fuel (Jet-A and 100LL) and ground services directly. Services include: ramp parking, tie-downs, restrooms, rental car access (seasonal), and a basic passenger lounge. The Bryce Canyon Airport<\/strong> was listed on the National Register of Historic Places<\/strong> and is the original log hangar that was built in 1936 by the WPA. The place is very small; no food or drink, basically a restroom and an office, but the sights near here are enormous. Also, the runway is very long for a place this size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working hours<\/strong>: Mon – Fri |<\/strong> 8:00 am – 12:00 pm 1:00 pm \u2013 5:00 pm Sat & Sun<\/strong> | CLOSED<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This field is home to Bryce Canyon Helicopters<\/strong>, a helicopter tour agency. They operate directly from the field and have aerial tours over Bryce Canyon, Grand Staircase<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> and surrounding cliffs. There are no flight schools here, but if you are looking for a new rating, check out Pilot Institute<\/a> <\/strong>or Rod Machado’s Aviation Learning Center<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
