Salina-Gunnison Airport (IATA: SBO) is a public-use general aviation airport in Salina, Utah, serving the Sevier Valley and nearby Gunnison. Located just northwest of downtown Salina near I-70 and US-89, it sits at about 5,159 feet elevation and has a single asphalt runway. There is no scheduled airline service; the field primarily supports private, recreational, and emergency aviation.
💡 Local Tip
Because the field sits above 5,000 feet, summer density altitude can significantly reduce climb performance; frequent visitors often depart early and monitor winds, which can gust in the afternoon.
🚖 Getting There
By road, reach the airport from I-70/US-89 in Salina via local streets; a car is the most practical option. There is no public transit or scheduled shuttle to the airport, and rideshare/taxi service is very limited, so arrange a ride in advance.
