Show Low Regional Airport
 |
The Show Low Regional Airport was dedicated
in 1946 as the result of a U.S. Forest Service Special Use Permit.
Since its modest beginning from a dirt runway and small terminal,
the Show Low Regional Airport has become the premier air
transportation facility in the White Mountains. |
|
Located one mile east of Show Low, the Airport boasts
two runways with parallel and connecting taxiways, a modern
6,400-square-foot terminal building, short and long-term vehicle parking
lots, and three aircraft parking ramps.
Runway 6-24 is 100 feet wide by 7,200 feet long. This
runway has a weight-bearing capacity of 60,000 pounds for dual-wheel, main
gear aircraft. Aircraft as large as Canadair Challengers and all series of
Gulfstream and Lear jets can easily be accommodated.
Runway 3-21 is 3,920 feet long by 60 feet wide, with
a weight-bearing capacity of 12,500 pounds. Equipped with runway edge
reflectors, this runway is used frequently as the crosswind runway. This
runway provides easy access to all parking ramps and is directly adjacent to
the south general aviation ramp hangar area.
Opened in August 1999, the new terminal building
provides a comfortable atmosphere for both commercial airline passengers and
terminal tenants and customers. Businesses include Enterprise Rental Car
company, Hatch Toyota Rental Car, and Great Lakes Airlines. Shundiin Services Company, supplying
air and ground cargo transportation services, is located in the old terminal
at the east end of the Airport.
Great Lakes Airlines is located in the center of the terminal building
offering scheduled airline service between Show Low, Phoenix, Farmington and
Denver seven days per week with roundtrip flights daily, call (800) 554-5111 or (928)532-1009 for details. Utilizing a
twin-engine Beech-1900 pressurized aircraft, passengers can fly one-way to
Phoenix in less than 40 minutes and to Denver in a little over two hours
with a short stop in Farmington. Great Lakes is a code-share partner with
United and Frontier Airlines and from Phoenix or Denver, passengers can
connect to any of the major airlines operating from these airports. Flights
operating out of Phoenix and Denver connect to cities across the United
States as well as to European and Far East destinations.
The Airport
terminal is open 365 days a year. Airport Linemen are on duty year-round
providing Jet A and 100 low-lead AvGas aircraft fuel and aircraft oil, as
well as other services including aircraft jump-starting, towing, ground
power, and engine preheating. Self-service AvGas and Jet A is available
24/7 from two aboveground fuel tanks located west of the terminal building.
Users of the self-serve pumps pay $.15 per gallon less than the full-service
truck price.
