  You won’t find any commercial airliners landing at one of the four regional airports in the Copper Corridor, but those who have private planes, helicopter or wish to charter a flight to the area will find an airport close to the Copper Corridor community of their choice.

  The airports in Kearny (E67) and San Manuel (E77) provide many resources to pilots.  Both airports have hangers and fuel available.  Both of these airports have won awards from the Governor’s Office on Transportation.  Additionally, the San Manuel airport now boasts lights for night landings.

  The San Carlos (P13) airport is located in San Carlos near Globe.  This airport also features many amenities to pilots and their passengers.

  The municipal airport in Superior (E81) off of US 60 does not have any amenities but small aircraft can land on the gravel runway.  This runway is often used for pilots practicing their flight skills.  If you need any type of assistance to plan your flight into Superior please contact the Superior Town Hall at 520-689-5752.  You can also arrange for a private helicopter ride from Signal Mountain Helicopter Tours you can make a reservation by calling them at 928-473-4440.
