.jpg) Airport in the Sky The Airport in the Sky occupies a 1,602-foot-tall mountaintop at the center of the Island, 10 miles by road from the city of Avalon. It's a unique and exciting destination no matter how you arrive--via Wildlands Express, bicycle, on foot, or private aircraft. Its single 3,000-foot-long runway was constructed by blasting and leveling two adjacent peaks, then using the resulting debris to fill in the gaps. While there enjoy breakfast or lunch at the DC-3 Gifts & Grill. To contact the Airport call: 310-510-0143. Landing Fees (as of 2/2021): Aero Club - Join Aero Club for Unlimited Landings for the Year!
