Mammoth Yosemite Airport (IATA: MMH, ICAO: KMMH, FAA LID: MMH) is a town-owned public airport seven miles (11 km; 6.1 nmi) east of Mammoth Lakes, in Mono County, California, United States.[1] Also known as Mammoth Lakes Airport[2] or Mammoth–June Lake Airport,[3] it is mainly used for general aviation, but has scheduled passenger flights operated by one airline which primarily serves the airport on a seasonal basis during the winter ski season. Additional scheduled passenger service for the Mammoth area is seasonally available at the nearby Eastern Sierra Regional Airport located in Bishop, CA.[4]

The airport had 665 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2008,[5] 6,157 enplanements in 2009, and 19,814 in 2010.[6] The National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2011–2015 categorized it as a general aviation airport.[7] However, the report for 2015–2019 upgraded this status to that of a primary/non-hub commercial airport.[8]

Facilities

The airport covers 230 acres (93 ha) at an elevation of 7,135 feet (2,175 m). Its one runway, 9/27, is 7,000 by 100 feet (2,134 by 30 m) asphalt.[1]

In 2010 the airport had 8,285 aircraft operations, average 22 per day: 68% general aviation, 20% air taxi, 12% airline, and <1% military. Three aircraft were then based at this airport, all single-engine.[1]

Mammoth Yosemite Airport has a terminal development master plan that will expand operations and will be able to accommodate bigger aircraft. The new terminal facilities will include a new terminal building itself, an airline parking apron, a deicing apron, access roads, automobile parking facilities, maintenance facilities, and airport offices.[9]

Historical airline service

United Airlines served the airport beginning in December 2010, via United Express. Initially service was only provided during winter months. In 2010 this became a year-round service.[10] In December 2021, all of the United Express service moved to nearby Eastern Sierra Regional Airport in Bishop, California, as the airline made a decision that MMH could no longer support scheduled commercial flights because of poor operational reliability primarily due to weather issues.[11]
