History
Canyonlands Field opened during the mid 1960s with 6900-ft runway 15/33, 150 ft wide. This runway was replaced in 1985 with the current NE/SW runway.
The original Frontier Airlines began serving the previous airfield, Grand County Airport, in 1959 followed by service into the then-new Canyonlands Field from the mid 1960s until the early 1970s. In 1959, Frontier was operating Douglas DC-3 service direct to Denver with intermediate stops in Grand Junction, Montrose, Gunnison and Pueblo. By 1967, Frontier was serving the new airport with Convair 580 turboprops with direct flights to Albuquerque (ABQ), Denver (DEN), El Paso (ELP), Phoenix (PHX), Salt Lake City (SLC) and Tucson (TUS) via various intermediate stops en route. Frontier was still serving Moab in 1970 with nonstop Convair 580 flights to Grand Junction (GJT) with continuing service to Denver.
Following the cessation of service by Frontier, several commuter airlines served Moab at different times over the years primarily with flights to Salt Lake City. These air carriers included Transwestern Airlines and Alpine Aviation which both operated small Piper Aircraft twin prop airplanes on the route. Other commuter airlines providing service to Salt Lake City included Air Midwest, Salmon Air and Sun Valley Key Airlines.
Great Lakes Airlines arrived on January 6, 2007 with two daily flights to Denver International Airport with Beechcraft 1900D turboprops. On December 5, 2011, Great Lakes began a daily nonstop flight to Vernal, Utah as an extension of its Denver service. Great Lakes subsequently ceased all service to Moab.
Passenger
Boutique Air operates Pilatus PC-12 turboprop aircraft on all flights. Utah Airways operates Piper Navajo twin prop aircraft.
