Transportation in Show Low
Show Low Regional Airport
The Show Low Regional Airport was dedicated in 1946 as the result of a U.S. Forest Service Special Use Permit. Since its modest beginning from a dirt runway and small terminal building, the Show Low Regional Airport has become the premier air transportation facility in the White Mountains.
Located two miles east of downtown Show Low, the airport boasts two runways with parallel and connecting taxiways, a modern 6,400-square-foot terminal building, short and long-term vehicle parking lots, and three aircraft parking ramps. An on-site fire station provides fire and safety coverage for the airport’s users 365 days a year. A new 5,500-foot crosswind runway is planned to replace the current 3,920-foot crosswind runway.
Opened in August 1999, the terminal building provides a comfortable atmosphere for both commercial airline passengers and terminal tenants, and customers. Businesses include Enterprise and Toyota Rental Car Companies, and Great Lakes Airlines.
Shundiin Services Company, supplying air and ground cargo transportation services, is located in the old terminal at the east end of the airport.
Great Lakes Airlines is located in the center of the terminal building offering scheduled commuter air service between Show Low and Phoenix seven days per week with three roundtrip flights daily. Utilizing a twin-engine Beech-1900 pressurized aircraft, passengers can fly one-way between the two cities in a little under an hour versus a four-hour, 180-mile one-way driving trip. From Terminal 2 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Great Lakes passengers can connect to any of the major airlines operating from Sky Harbor including U.S. Airways, American, United, Frontier, Continental, and other airlines. Flights operating out of Phoenix connect to cities across the United States, as well as to European and Far East destinations.
The Airport terminal is open 365 days a year. Airport Linemen are on duty year-round providing Jet A and 100 low-lead AvGas aircraft fuel and aircraft oil, as well as other services including aircraft jump-starting, towing, ground power, and engine preheating.
A pilot briefing room with Internet access for weather and flight plan filing is available.
In addition, advertising opportunities are available for businesses wishing to promote their services. A large display area with an accompanying speed dial telephone can be used for custom-made advertisements and company brochures. Other advertising locations are also available throughout the terminal.
Businesses in the airport include two aircraft repair shops, three air ambulance companies, the air cargo handler and the Transportation Security Administration, providing security screening for all Great Lakes Airlines flights.
