Airport Commission

Since the days of the Wright Brothers, aviation has struck a chord with people. Whether it be a small child watching airplanes with a sense of awe or the seasoned traveler who is thankful that airplanes can whisk him or her home in time to see his family before dinner, aviation has changed the way we all live. South Arkansas Regional Airport takes its mission seriously as a facility that provides the community with top quality general aviation facilities and a plan to serve our market area for years to come. If you haven’t seen us lately, you haven’t seen us. Come visit SARA!
