Blythe Airport

Blythe Airport (KBLH) is a medium airport in Blythe, CA. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KBLH or IATA code BLH. It sits in North America.

Blythe Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 6,543-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 6,543 ft (1,994 m), a midsize and super-midsize-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Citation Longitude, Challenger 350, and Gulfstream G280. In practice this comfortable for most midsize and super-mid charter equipment.

Blythe Airport sits near sea level at 399 ft.

Local operations run on America/Los_Angeles. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess currently tracks 493 departing and 440 arriving private-jet legs at KBLH across the next six months of operator inventory. 7 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KBLH are a meaningful share of US private aviation — closer to the trip's actual origin or destination than the nearest major hub, with shorter ramp-to-cabin times that are the main reason owners and brokers prefer them.

Blythe Airport is seven miles west of Blythe, in Riverside County, California, United States. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation facility.
