St. George Municipal Airport (IATA: SGUICAO: KDXZFAA LID: DXZ) is a city-owned, public-use airport located five nautical miles (5.8 miles; 9.3 km) southeast of the central business district of St. George, a city in Washington County, Utah, United States.[1]

The current airport opened on January 13, 2011, and is a replacement for a smaller land-locked St. George Municipal Airport, located atop a mesa in the city, which was declared unsuitable for expansion the city needed for population growth. It is served by SkyWest Airlines on behalf of Delta Air Lines and United Airlines.

The former airport used SGU as the location identifier for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and International Air Transport Association (IATA). The new airport was assigned DXZ by the FAA, but retained the IATA designation SGU.[2]

History

An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was completed in August 2006. The study concluded the impact on the environment and noise pollution would be minimal. Plans for the airport included a single runway suitable for regional jets and larger mainline aircraft. SkyWest Airlines announced that on January 13, 2011 the airline would begin jet service to Salt Lake City from the airport. The runway will be oriented at about 010/190 degrees. It will initially be 9,300 by 150 feet (2,800 by 46 m) with plans for the runway to be extended to 11,500 by 150 feet (3,500 by 46 m) feet. The airport will include an Air Traffic Control Tower and a precision instrument approach, things the old St. George Municipal Airport did not have.

The new St. George Airport has been partially funded by grants from the FAA totaling $123 million. The entire project is expected to cost about $159 million dollars.[3] The city broke ground on the new site in October 2008 and opened on January 13, 2011.

Facilities

St. George Municipal Airport has one runway designated 1/19 with an asphalt surface measuring 9,300 by 150 feet (2,835 x 46 m).[1] The 1,203-acre (487 ha) facility includes a 35,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) terminal.[3]
