Scenic Airlines

In business since 1967, Scenic Airlines offers visitors to Las Vegas the chance to see the Grand Canyon like no one else – out the window of an airplane. Specializing in combination tours that include coach service, both airplane and helicopter flights and even the famous Grand Canyon Skywalk, Scenic prides itself on a long tradition of superior customer service and lasting memories.

Scenic Airlines Features & Amenities

• De Havilland Twin Otter Vistaliner aircraft feature high wings and panoramic windows to ensure that no view is obstructed.

• Bus-only tours available as well as the ability to append a helicopter trip onto your tour package.
• Tour narrations offered in 16 different languages.

Scenic Airlines is one of the foremost airplane tour companies serving the Grand Canyon today, and actually operates as a subsidy of another famous Grand Canyon airplane tour company, Grand Canyon Airlines (GCA). Despite their partnership, Scenic Airlines offers a different palate of choices for luxury one-of-a-kind air tourism in and around Grand Canyon National Park.

Advantages of Scenic Airlines

• Ability to hook up your camcorder to the plane’s digital narration system in order to clearly record all the details of your one-of-a-kind trip.
• Combination packages may include a helicopter ride, boat trip down the Colorado River or a visit to Monument Valley (Navajo Reservation).
• Tour durations vary from 2.5-7+ hours, giving tourists a variety of options.

Disadvantages of Scenic Airlines

• Tours originate in Las Vegas only.
• Many people felt that the helicopter portion of the combination trip was somewhat anticlimactic and not worth the extra money.
• The plane does not actually “fly over” the Grand Canyon; it is restricted air space and no company is allowed to do this.
• Due to air space restrictions, tours are run on a very tight schedule and those adding “extras” are often left with little time to sightsee at the Canyon itself.
