Distance & flight time from CDC
Cedar City Regional Airport
Cedar City Regional Airport anchors the gateway to Utah's red-rock national parks, sitting at an elevation above 5,600 feet in a high desert valley ringed by the Markagunt Plateau. Essential Air Service subsidies keep scheduled flights running to hubs like Denver or Salt Lake City, connecting a college town built around Southern Utah University with visitors bound for Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Cedar Breaks National Monument. CDC's thin mountain air and occasional winter weather affect aircraft performance and scheduling, a common challenge among small airports at similar altitudes across the Intermountain West. The city itself, sometimes called Utah's 'Festival City,' hosts a renowned Shakespeare festival that brings seasonal spikes in air travel demand.
