Show Low Regional Airport

Show Low Regional Airport sits at 6,415 feet in the White Mountains of eastern Arizona, about 180 miles northeast of Phoenix. The high elevation affects aircraft performance, so operators account for density altitude when planning fuel loads and payload. Most light jets and turboprops handle the field without issue, but it's worth confirming with your operator on hot summer days when density altitude can climb well above field elevation.

The airport is uncontrolled, which means no tower and no slot requirements. Operations are typically straightforward. An FBO provides fuel and ramp services. There is no commercial airline service competing for ramp space, so private arrivals move quickly. The area draws steady charter traffic from Phoenix and Scottsdale, particularly on winter weekends when skiers head to Sunrise Park Resort.

Show Low is the main town, with the Pinetop-Lakeside area about 8 miles south of the airport, roughly a 12-minute drive. Sunrise Park Resort, the primary ski destination in the White Mountains, is approximately 28 miles from the airport, about 35 minutes by car. Phoenix Sky Harbor is a 3-hour drive west on US-60. Car rentals are available in Show Low, and local car services operate in the area. There is no helicopter transfer infrastructure here.
