Prescott Regional Airport - Ernest A. Love Field (PRC/KPRC) is a city-owned public airport about six miles north of downtown Prescott, Arizona. Named for Prescott native and World War I aviator Ernest A. Love, it sits at roughly 5,045 feet in the high desert and is closely tied to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Prescott campus. It supports general aviation, flight training, business aviation, and periodic regional commercial service.
💡 Local Tip
Weekday flight-training traffic from Embry-Riddle can make the pattern and ramps busy, so allow extra time and monitor CTAF/ASOS carefully; early-morning departures often mean cooler temperatures and better aircraft performance at this high-elevation field.
🚖 Getting There
By car, take AZ-89 north from downtown Prescott and follow signs to the airport; the drive is about 15 minutes. Taxi and rideshare availability can be limited, especially early or late, so pre-arrange a ride or rental car. On-site rental cars and parking are available, but confirm hours with the airport or FBO before arrival.
