Friedman Memorial Airport
Friedman Memorial Airport (SUN) serves the Sun Valley and Hailey resort area in south-central Idaho, acting as the primary gateway for visitors headed to the Sun Valley ski resort and surrounding Wood River Valley communities. Nestled in a mountain valley with terrain that requires careful visual approaches, SUN handles seasonal surges tied to winter sports and summer outdoor tourism. The airport features a single paved runway and a modest terminal offering car rental counters and limited concessions.
