Avi Suquilla Airport P20/KP20 Near Parker Owned by Colorado River Indian Tribes

Avi Suquilla Airport (FAA LID P20, sometimes listed as KP20 in third-party databases) sits just east of Parker and is owned by the Colorado River Indian Tribes. The public-use field occupies about 240 acres and, following a recent expansion, now features a new runway measuring 6,250 feet by 100 feet that can accommodate a wider range of aircraft. That change has direct implications for local medevac operators and general aviation pilots who use the field.

The airport serves Parker from roughly 1 to 1.15 miles east of the central business district, with an elevation of about 452 feet above mean sea level. Avi Suquilla was activated in 04/1940 and remains open to the public. The property mailing address for the owner is 26600 Mohave Road, Parker, AZ 85344; manager information lists 28940 Airport Road, Parker, AZ 85344.

Operationally the field is uncontrolled - control tower: no - and daytime attendance is listed as 0800-1700. Fuel service is available, though pilots should note the published notice: FUEL SVC FEE WHEN UNATTD. Air Route Traffic Control Center coverage is provided by Los Angeles Center while flight service is handled by PRESCOTT FLIGHT SERVICE STATION. NOTAMs facility is PRC with NOTAM-D service available. METARs for the field are noted as provided by the airport manager.

Avi Suquilla does not support large carrier service at this time, but hosts a majority of general aviation aircraft on the field as well as two medical flight companies. There are no flying clubs listed as operating at this airport. The new runway length and width increase the field’s utility for emergency medical flights and larger general aviation craft, which may improve response times for La Paz County patients and broaden opportunities for business aviation tied to Parker and the Colorado River Indian Tribes.

Pilots and operations planners should pay close attention to active notices affecting the area. AOPA listings include obstacle tower light outages with specific coordinates and effective time windows: an outage for ASR 1221297 at 34°00'11.00"N 114°13'43.00"W (9.1 NM SSE of P20) listed from 01/10/2026 1121 through 04/10/2026 0500 for a 901.9 FT structure (259.8 FT AGL) U/S; and an outage beginning 12/31/2025 1650 through 02/19/2026 1830 for an ASR UNKNOWN tower at 33°36'16.22"N 113°37'52.31"W (45 NM SE of P20) noted U/S at 144 FT AGL. Verify NOTAMs and TFRs before flight: "Please verify all content below using the FAA TFR Search Site or with a flight briefer. Please verify using the FAA TFR Search Site or with a flight briefer."

For La Paz County residents, the airport’s ownership by the Colorado River Indian Tribes and the runway expansion mean stronger local control over an asset that supports medical flights and general aviation growth. Practical next steps for pilots and operators: confirm current runway designations and published procedures with FAA Airport Form 5010 or the FAA airport master record, check active NOTAMs and METARs before operations, and contact the airport manager for fuel and service details. For the community, the expanded field promises more reliable medevac access and incremental economic opportunity as aircraft types and services that can use the airport increase.
