Colorado City Municipal Airport is a small uncontrolled general aviation field on the Arizona Strip, three miles southwest of Colorado City in Mohave County. It offers two long, lit asphalt runways, making it a useful stop for cross-country pilots exploring the high desert country of northern Arizona near the Utah border.
Colorado City Municipal Airport is a general aviation aerodrome owned and operated by the Town of Colorado City, situated in Mohave County, Arizona. It sees no scheduled commercial airline traffic and functions primarily as a base for local and itinerant general aviation activity in the sparsely populated Arizona Strip region. The field's generous runway lengths for a small airport, combined with its remote high-desert setting, make it a notable waypoint for pilots flying VFR across northern Arizona.
The airport lies about three miles southwest of the central business district of Colorado City, Arizona, in Mohave County, close to the Arizona-Utah border in the region known as the Arizona Strip. It sits at a field elevation of 4,852 feet, reflecting the high desert plateau terrain typical of the area. No air traffic control tower is present, and the field operates as an uncontrolled airport within the surrounding airspace.
The airport has two physical runways. Runway 11/29 is 6,244 feet long with a hard surface and is lit. Runway 02/20 is 5,101 feet long, also with a hard surface and lit. There is no instrument landing system at the field.
Pilots should monitor the CTAF/UNICOM frequency of 122.7 MHz for traffic advisories, as there is no control tower. An automated weather observing system (AWOS-3) broadcasts on 118.375 MHz. Los Angeles Center can be reached on 124.2 MHz for those requiring center services in the vicinity.
As an uncontrolled field with no published local circuit or noise abatement procedures found, pilots should follow standard traffic pattern practices for uncontrolled airports, making position calls on the CTAF and remaining alert for other traffic sharing the pattern.
Colorado City Municipal Airport continues to operate as a general aviation facility serving the Town of Colorado City and the wider Arizona Strip region. Both Jet-A and 100LL fuel are available on the field. The airport has an aircraft apron and ramp area along with multiple hangars, and Westwing Aviation serves as the fixed-base operator. The airport has been undergoing improvements including perimeter security fencing, new hangar development, a new taxiway serving runway 29, and fibre internet installation. An annual fly-in with static displays is held at the airport each September.
