Photo of Arizona Airways flight at Ernest A. Love Field in Prescott.
On April 3, 1946, Arizona Airways announced scheduled flights to Prescott, Grand Canyon and Yuma were to commence in four days. On April 7 the inaugural flight into Prescott touched down at 11:00 a.m. On board were airline officials, radio technicians, photographers, Papago and Hopi tribe representatives and the mayors of Phoenix, Nogales and Prescott. The flight traveled over the Grand Canyon and returned to Prescott. Later in the year, Flagstaff was added to the route.
Arizona Airways initially provided the only passenger flights into Prescott. This changed on November 1, 1947 when TWA began providing twice-daily service.
