About Bagdad Airport
Bagdad Airport (BGT) is a county-owned, public-use general aviation airfield located about 2.5 miles northeast of Bagdad in Yavapai County, Arizona. It serves the local mining community and provides access for private and general aviation flights to this part of west-central Arizona.
The airport operates from a single asphalt runway, designated 5/23 and roughly 4,500 feet long, on an elevated site about 4,200 feet above sea level. It is a VFR-only facility with no published instrument approaches, and there is no terminal building, fuel service, or fixed-base operator on the field.
The town of Bagdad, historically tied to copper mining and now home to the Freeport-McMoRan operations, lies roughly 100 miles northwest of Phoenix. The airfield is reached by local roads, with Bagdad a short drive away and Prescott and Phoenix accessible by highway for longer connections.
Although facilities at the airfield are minimal, the airport offers a convenient, fee-free stopping point for pilots exploring Arizona's high desert and for visitors traveling to the Bagdad area.
