Sedona AirportSedona Airport (IATA code SEZ) is a small commercial airport in Sedona, Arizona. History The airport was inaugurated in 1955. At that time it had no paved runway, and animals such as coyotes could be seen walking around the air-strip. This proved dangerous to pilots arriving at Sedona. By 1960, a small, paved runway had been built, practically eliminating the animal residents problem. By 1990, the airport's runway had been improved and it had begun to receive service from smaller scheduled airlines. It was the hub of Air Sedona, which served it from such places as Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Las Vegas, the nearby Grand Canyon airport and others. Sedona's airport is not able to accommodate commercial jets of the size of the Boeing 727 or larger. It does, however, attract a large number of smaller business jets and aircraft such as Cessna and Beech airplanes and helicopters. Location Sedona is a very popular destination among Arizona tourists, specially those who are interested in the New Age movement or those seeking to be close to nature. The airport is located on top of a high mesa overlooking a major portion of the city; it is not uncommon for tourists or locals driving around downtown Sedona to see an approaching airplane fly overhead and then suddenly disappear into the mountains without ever appearing to land. The airport is also located very close to the Red Rocks of Sedona. Airlines serving SEZ
