Yuma International Airport / Marine Corps Air Station Yuma guide

Yuma International Airport is a joint-use field shared by civilian airlines and the U.S. Marine Corps. It sits about 5.6 km south of downtown Yuma, Arizona, at an elevation of 65 m, on roughly 3,100 acres. The U.S. Navy owns the land, and the Yuma County Airport Authority runs the civilian side alongside Marine Corps Air Station Yuma. The airport authority was created in 1965. The FAA identifier is NYL, while the IATA code remains YUM.

American Eagle flies scheduled passenger service to Phoenix Sky Harbor and Dallas/Fort Worth. Phoenix is the busiest route, carrying about 62,000 passengers in the year to May 2025. Cargo carriers Ameriflight and FedEx Feeder also serve the field, and two air-medical companies base aircraft here.

Four runways give the airport more pavement than most airports of its size. The longest, 3L/21R, is 4,054 m of concrete. The FAA counted 136,611 aircraft operations in 2021, and military traffic makes up more than half of all movements. About 183 aircraft are based on the field.
