The Closest Airport To Bryce Canyon National Park
Cedar City Regional Airport (CDC)
Cedar City Regional Airport is the nearest airport to Bryce Canyon with commercial flights. If you have limited travel time and want to get the most out of your Bryce Canyon experience, this is your best choice.
The downside is that it’s a regional airport that only offers domestic flights connected to Salt Lake City via Delta Airlines. If you also want to include a visit to Salt Lake in your itinerary, you could consider a layover going there.
