- last modified on November 30, 2023
Page is a small town in the state of Arizona. But due to its closeness to some famous landmarks of the United States, like the Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River and the Lake Powell, it is a popular tourist destination.
Because of this the airport becomes more or less active during the summer holiday season. Contour Airlines offers 2-3 daily schedule passenger service to and from PGA on Embraer 135/145 aircraft to Phoenix, AZ. Grand Canyon Scenic Airlines & Papillion Helicopters offers charter and scenic flights. Furthermore you can grab some other helicopter and business jet traffic.
