Tonopah Airport

Tonopah Airport (KTPH) is a medium airport in Tonopah, NV. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code KTPH or IATA code TPH. It sits in North America.

Tonopah Airport is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments. The 7,160-foot runway means it is well-suited as a dedicated bizjet field, free from airline scheduling pressure.

The longest runway measures 7,160 ft (2,182 m), a heavy-class field. Representative aircraft that operate comfortably here include the Gulfstream G550, Falcon 7X, and Bombardier Global 5500. In practice this most heavy and super-midsize jets operate here without restriction.

Tonopah Airport sits at 5,430 ft above sea level. Hot-and-high conditions can meaningfully reduce takeoff performance in summer — planners should factor density altitude into payload and fuel decisions.

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 219 departing and 161 arriving private-jet legs at KTPH across the next six months of operator inventory. 4 charter operators have run trips through this field in our recent inventory window.

Regional fields like KTPH 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.

Tonopah Airport is a county-owned, public-use airport located seven nautical miles (13 km) east of the central business district of Tonopah, in Nye County, Nevada, United States.
