Grant County Airport

Grant County Airport serves Silver City, New Mexico and the surrounding Grant County as a small regional gateway first established in the mid-20th century (around the 1940s) and operating from a single modest terminal. The airport is compact but important for local travel and access to the nearby Gila National Forest and Santa Rita Mountains, sitting roughly a 10–15 minute drive from downtown Silver City with rental cars, taxis and occasional shuttle services providing the main connections rather than frequent public transit. It isn’t a hub for major carriers—service is primarily by commuter/regional airlines such as Boutique Air and general aviation—so fares are often affordable for short hops but can vary due to limited competition.
