Catalina
Island's Airport-in-the-Sky
Perched
1602 feet above the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island's Airport-In-The-Sky
is built between two mountain peeks in the island's interior. The
asphalt-paved 3250-foot runway can handle aircraft up to and including
DC-3.
More
than just an aircraft facility, the Airport is also where you'll
find the Buffalo Springs Station Restaurant, a gift shop, historical
displays, beautiful native plant gardens, scenic vistas, and great
hiking trails.
Also
located at the Airport-In-The-Sky is the Catalina Nature Center.
To help visitors enjoy and understand the exceptional natural history
and ecology of the island, the Catalina Island Conservancy has developed
this intriguing outdoor display.
Shuttle service is available between the Airport and Avalon. The
ten-mile drive takes approximately 25 minutes.

landing fees and pilot information, call (310) 510-0143.
