Blythe Airport

Blythe Airport, marked by the code BLH, serves Blythe, California, near the Arizona border along the Colorado River. Sitting 399 feet up, its two runways mainly support general aviation traffic across this desert stretch of eastern Riverside County. As a medium airport, BLH sits amid agricultural land that depends on irrigation from the Colorado River, with a flat desert landscape surrounding the field. Blythe's location roughly midway between Phoenix and Southern California's larger cities places the airport in a relatively remote stretch of desert, where it mainly serves small aircraft and training flights rather than scheduled airline traffic.
