Grand Canyon Airlines is believed to be the world’s oldest, most experienced air tour company in continuous operation since 1927. Proudly owned since 1967 by Elling B. Halvorson and Family, Mr. Halvorson has been credited with truly developing and shaping the Grand Canyon Airplane tours industry.

The Grand Discovery Tour is highly recommended by the Grand Canyon Visitor Center. The center has a Grand Canyon Airlines desk when information can be obtained though we recommend purchasing your seat in advance online.
