Vision Airlines, formerly Vision Air, is a North Las Vegas, Nevada based airline. This airline operates air tours of the Grand Canyon, Marble Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Monument Valley. During the summer season, Vision Airlines flies white water rafters to their destinations along the Colorado River.
Vision currently offers regular service from its hub at the North Las Vegas Airport to the Grand Canyon's Grand Canyon National Park Airport and Carlsbad, California's McClellan-Palomar Airport.
Pending United States Department of Transportation approval, the airline hopes to expand service. From Scottsdale Municipal Airport in Scottsdale, Arizona, the airline will add flights to North Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, pending Scottsdale City Council approval. In addition to the Arizona services, the airline is also planning the addition of service between North Las Vegas and Long Beach Municipal Airport in Long Beach, California. Further in the future, the airline hopes to add service to Central and Northern California and Utah. To accommodate service expansion, the airline will also add three additional turboprop powered Dornier 328 and three jet-powered Dornier 328JET aircraft. [1][2][3] Previously slated to start in September 2006, as of May 2008, this expansion of service had yet to begin. Vision Airlines had formerly served Mesa, Arizona's Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, but due to uncited reasons, the airline discontinued service in April 2008.
