Ely Municipal Airport — Ely, United States

LYU refers to Ely Municipal Airport, a small regional facility serving Ely, Nevada, a remote town in the state's rural east-central region. The airport primarily supports general aviation, including private pilots, charter flights, and occasional Essential Air Service subsidized commercial flights that help connect isolated communities to larger networks. Ely's economy has historical ties to mining, and LYU serves related business travel as well as tourism to nearby attractions like Great Basin National Park. Given Nevada's vast open spaces and limited highway access in some areas, LYU provides an important transportation link for residents and visitors alike, despite its modest size and low passenger volume.
