Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, a regional airport, is located 166 miles east of Laughlin. There are limited commercial services into Flagstaff; just two carriers, Horizon/Alaska Airlines and US Airways Express, flew into the small airport as of March 2010. Horizon offered flights from Los Angeles, California, and US Airways provided flights from Phoenix, Arizona.
