St George Regional Airport

St. George Regional Airport (KSGU) sits 5 miles east of downtown St. George, Utah, in far southern Utah near the Arizona border. The field handles modest commercial service (Delta, American, United, Sun Country, Allegiant) and a meaningful flow of business aviation, particularly the rapidly-growing Washington County retirement / golf corridor (St. George has become one of the fastest-growing US metros), the Zion National Park tourism flow, and the Mesquite, Nevada gambling and resort flow. The single runway 1/19 is 9,300 feet — comfortable for heavy and most ultra-long-range business jets. Above View Jet Center operates the FBO. Field elevation is 2,941 feet, with meaningful summer density-altitude considerations on hot southern Utah days (110°F+ in July–August). The dominant operational considerations are extreme summer heat (one of the hottest US airports), occasional severe weather (microbursts in summer thunderstorms), winter storms that can disrupt operations, and the structural retirement-snowbird flow (October–April when the East Coast and Midwest move south for the winter). Ground time to downtown St. George is 5 minutes; the Sun River retirement community is 15; Zion National Park is 60 minutes; Mesquite, NV is 30.
