About Blanding Municipal Airport
Blanding Municipal Airport is a city-owned public-use airport located about 3 miles (5 km) south of central Blanding in San Juan County, southeastern Utah. It serves general aviation, charter, medical, and government flights and provides an important local air link for a largely rural region.
The airport sits at an elevation of approximately 5,868 feet and operates a single asphalt runway, 17/35, measuring 5,781 by 75 feet. It has no control tower, and pilots use the airport's CTAF frequency for arrivals and departures.

Travelers typically reach the city and surrounding destinations by private vehicle, rental car, pre-arranged transfer, or courtesy transportation.
