Chartering an Airplane

If you're traveling with a large group to the Grand Canyon, many air tour companies will charter a private Grand Canyon airplane ride for your group. If you're an experienced pilot with a current license, you may also be able to charter a plane from some companies, or charter a plane at another airport and fly into Grand Canyon Airport. An airplane ride over the Grand Canyon is an unforgettable experience. While air travel below the rim has been curtailed inside the park, some of the air tour operators offer trips outside park restricted space so visitors can still have the experience of riding below the rim.
