    Sedona AZ (February 23, 2012) – What do Oak Creek Flying Services, Air Sedona, Golden Pacific Airlines, and Scenic Air (an arm of Sky West) have in common?

    All were commuter airlines that flew passengers in and out of the Sedona Airport, and all went out of business.

    Why? Why can’t local residents drive to the top of Airport Mesa and hop on a regularly scheduled flight to Flagstaff, Phoenix, or Tucson?

    Get answers to this and all of your other questions about Sedona aviation from Mac McCall, the General Manager and Chief Operating Officer of the Sedona Airport Authority. He will speak at Lunch and Learn, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) Keynote Speaker program, in room 34 of Yavapai College’s Sedona campus (on Cultural Park Road, across Rte 89A from Red Rock High School) on Thursday, March 1, from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m.

    McCall studied at the Kellogg Management Institute of Northwestern University Graduate School of Management and has spent 35 years in airport management–from Chief Operations Supervisor at O’Hare Airport in Chicago to Sedona (since July, 1999). He was named “Airport Executive of the Year.” by the Arizona Airports Association.

Or, come from 1:00 – 2:00 to learn about life “backstage” at the Sedona Airport–located 500 feet over the middle of Sedona–known to arriving passengers as “The World’s Most Beautiful Airport” and to pilots as the “U.S.S. Sedona,” due to the aircraft carrier like feel on aircraft arrival and departure.

    Mr. McCall will speak for up to 30 minutes, and there will be Q & A and discussion for the remaining time.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
