History and Overview of YCAA

The Yuma International Airport is owned by Yuma County, Arizona and is managed and operated by the Yuma County Airport Authority, Inc. ("the Authority"). The Authority was incorporated as a non-profit entity in the State of Arizona on December 30, 1965, specifically for this purpose. The Authority operates the Airport in accordance with a long term lease agreement with Yuma County, Arizona. The Airport is managed by an Airport Director through the guidance of a 14 member Board of Directors. The Authority concept of management has allowed the Airport to provide and foster civil aviation in the community without a financial burden being placed on the taxpayers of Yuma County. The Authority is a self supporting entity generating the revenue necessary to operate the airport through rates and charges assessed directly to the users of the Airport.

While the Authority is incorporated as a non-profit entity, it also has been designated as a governmental entity by Arizona Revised Statute Section 28-8411 et seq. In accordance with the Authority's status as a governmental entity it is not subject to income or property taxes and has the ability to issue tax exempt debt.

FC "Frosty" Braden Passenger Terminal

The FC "Frosty" Braden Passenger Terminal at the Yuma International Airport offers travelers the latest in airport amenities and comfort. The $10 million Terminal building was completed in February of 1999 using local contractors and financing provided through the Federal Aviation Administration, the Arizona Department of Transportation and the issuance of tax exempt bonds.

Visitors to our Airport will find four automobile rental agencies, a restaurant and lounge, a gift shop and a game room in addition to the two commercial airlines. The FC "Frosty" Braden Passenger Terminal is proud to display a collection of art which was funded through donations from the public. Other features of the Terminal building include a business center open to the public and wireless internet service available from anywhere within the building.

The Yuma County Airport Authority works hard to ensure that your experience in our airport is an enjoyable one. If you are happy with the facility and services provided please tell others. If not, please tell us by contacting Airport Administration.
