Grand Canyon Airlines also has bases at Grand Canyon National Park Airport, AZ, and Page Municipal Airport, AZ.[1] It operates sightseeing tours and scheduled passenger service over and around the Grand Canyon. Its headquarters and main operation center is Grand Canyon National Park Airport and Boulder City Airport, Nevada.[2] It is owned by Elling Halvorson and has 70 employees (at March 2007).[2] Grand Canyon Airlines introduced commercial airline service to Boulder City Airport on June 15, 1936.[3] {{Clear}}HistoryThe airline was started in 1927 as Scenic Airways by J. Parker Van Zandt at Grand Canyon, Arizona with a Stinson SM-1 Detroiter and Ford Trimotor aircraft. In February 23, 1929, the opening day of the Arizona Biltmore Hotel, Scenic Airways dropped wooden key on the roof of the hotel's ballroom. The key is on display above the fireplace of the Biltmore History Room.[4] Scenic Airways changed its name to Grand Canyon Airlines in 1930, and Grand Canyon Airlines is believed to be the world's oldest air tour company in continuous operations. Two Grand Canyon Airlines pilots were the first to spot the wreckage left by the 1956 Grand Canyon mid-air collision, between United and TWA Airlines aircraft. Pilots Henry and Palin Hudgen had been flying a scheduled service around the area at the time.[5] On March 19, 2009 Grand Canyon Airlines moved its operations at the Boulder City Municipal Airport into the company's new Boulder City Aerocenter, a {{convert|30000|sqft|abbr=on}} terminal.[6] DestinationsScheduled flight destinations
