Catalina Airport, also known as the Airport in the Sky, is situated in Avalon, CA. This unique airport is perched atop a 1,602-foot-tall mountain at the heart of Catalina Island, offering a breathtaking destination accessible by various means including the Wildlands Express, bicycle, private aircraft, or on foot.
Constructed in 1941 through the leveling of adjacent peaks, the airport's single 3,000-foot-long runway was recently renovated for a smoother, safer landing experience. Visitors can enjoy the iconic Killer Cookies and Buffalo Burgers at the on-site Airport in the Sky Restaurant, open daily for breakfast and lunch.
Moreover, the Catalina Airport serves as the base for the ACE Clearwater Airfield and marks the starting point of the Airport Loop Trail, granting access to the Trans-Catalina Trail. Offering Aero Club memberships to pilots and featuring unique landing and overnight fees, the Airport in the Sky provides a memorable experience amidst the scenic beauty of Catalina Island.
