Vernal Regional Airport (IATA: VEL, ICAO: KVEL, FAA LID: VEL), formerly known as Vernal - Uintah County Airport, is a public airport located one mile (2 km) southeast of the central business district of Vernal, a city in Uintah County, Utah, United States. It is owned by Uintah County and Vernal City. It is mostly used for general aviation, but is served by one commercial airline. Service is subsidized by the Essential Air Service program.
Air Midwest, operating as US Airways Express, commenced service on July 2, 2006, with flights to Salt Lake City International Airport. Previously, scheduled service was provided by Salmon Air with flights to Salt Lake City. Before Salmon Air provided service, SkyWest Airlines provided service between 1984 and 2001 with flights to Salt Lake City International Airport. A route map from 1948 showed that Challenger Airlines was proposing service via Salt Lake City and route maps for Frontier Airlines (1950-1986) show that after it acquired Challenger Airlines, it provided service between 1950-1978 via Salt Lake City and Rock Springs, Wyoming. By January 2008, Great Lakes Aviation will replace Air Midwest, with flights to Denver. According to United Airlines website they provide service to Vernal through partnership with Great Lakes Airlines with flights to Denver.
As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 1,074 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2005. According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2007-2011, Vernal Regional Airport is a general aviation airport because a commercial service classification requires at least 2,500 passenger boardings per year.
