Canyonlands Field is in Grand County, Utah, 21 miles northwest of Moab, Utah.〔 The airport is used for general aviation and sees one airline, subsidized by the Essential Air Service program. The Federal Aviation Administration says the airport had 2,870 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,〔 〕 3,982 in 2009 2,701 in 2010,〔 〕 9,181 in 2011, 7,955 in 2012, and 7,048 in 2013. The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a ''non-primary commercial service'' airport (between 2,500 and 10,000 enplanements per year). == History == Canyonlands Field opened during the mid 1960s with 6900-ft runway 15/33, 150 ft wide. This runway was replaced in 1985 with the current NE/SW runway.〔http://core.tdar.org/document/23099〕 The original Frontier Airlines began serving the previous airfield, Grand County Airport, in 1959 followed by service into the then-new Canyonlands Field from the mid 1960s until the early 1970s. In 1959, Frontier was operating Douglas DC-3 service direct to Denver with intermediate stops in Grand Junction, Montrose, Gunnison and Pueblo.〔http://www.timetableimages.com, July 1, 1959 Frontier Airlines system timetable〕 By 1967, Frontier was serving the airport with Convair 580 turboprops with direct flights to Albuquerque (ABQ), Denver (DEN), El Paso (ELP), Phoenix (PHX), Salt Lake City (SLC) and Tucson (TUS) via various intermediate stops en route.〔http://www.timetableimages.com, Oct. 29, 1967 Frontier Airlines system timetable〕 Frontier was still serving Moab in 1970 with nonstop Convair 580 flights to Grand Junction (GJT) with continuing service to Denver.〔http://www.departedflights.com, Oct. 25, 1970 Frontier Airlines route map〕 Following the cessation of service by Frontier, several commuter airlines served Moab at different times over the years primarily with flights to Salt Lake City. These air carriers included Transwestern Airlines〔http://www.departedflights.com, Nov. 15, 1979 edition, Official Airline Guide (OAG), Moab to Salt Lake City flight schedules〕 and Alpine Aviation〔http://www.departedflights.com, Feb. 15, 1989; Oct. 1, 1991; April 2, 1995 editions, Official Airline Guide (OAG), Moab to Salt Lake City flight schedules〕 which both operated small Piper Aircraft twin prop airplanes on the route.
