Welcome to Lake Havasu City Municipal Airport

Lake Havasu City Municipal Airport opened at its current location on June 1, 1991. It is one of the newer municipal airports in the Southwestern United States and is an active General Aviation/Commercial airport operated to FAA Part 139 standards. It is located approximately three miles to the northeast of Lake Havasu, adjacent to Arizona State Route 95 and approximately six miles to the north of the center of developed area of Lake Havasu City. It is a unique facility near the western foothills of the Mohave Mountains.

The airport was constructed in the late 1980s to replace the original airport built in 1944 on Pittsburg Point, near the present-day city center and the London Bridge. It was one of six emergency landing fields that supported Kingman Army Air Field's gunnery training for bomber crews during World War II. It was also an R&R Center, and after the war, it became a fly-in fishing camp, then a private airfield supporting the development of the new city beginning in 1963, by entrepreneur Robert P. McCulloch Sr.

The present airport is conveniently located across State Route 95 from The Shops at Havasu, a gateway shopping center that opened earlier this year and that presently has 21 tenants.

The airport is a modern facility that hosts more than 200 based aircraft, two full service fixed based operators, and a third fixed base operator scheduled to open this fall. It has instrument approach capabilities, an automated weather observation station, and an 8,000 foot long runway. It serves the community and the region and is a key part of the economic development of the city.
