Beatty Airport
Flying Into Beatty
Beatty Airport serves the Town of Beatty and the surrounding southern Nevada desert region. This public-use airport provides general aviation access for pilots, visitors, emergency support, and travelers looking for a direct way into one of Nevada’s most unique gateway communities.
Located about 3 miles southwest of Beatty, the airport offers convenient access to local services, nearby highways, Death Valley National Park, Rhyolite Ghost Town, Goldwell Open Air Museum, and the wide-open desert landscapes that make this area so special. It is not a big-city airport, and that is exactly the point. Beatty Airport is simple, practical, and rooted in the kind of rural access that matters out here.
