About Yuma International Airport / Marine Corps Air Station Yuma
Yuma International Airport (IATA: YUM, ICAO: KNYL, FAA LID: NYL) is a joint use airport with civilian and military flight activity operated in conjunction with the U.S. Marine Corps via the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma. The airfield is located 3.5 miles (3.0 nmi; 5.6 km) south of the central business district of Yuma, a city in Yuma County, Arizona, United States, and 150 miles (130 nmi; 240 km) east of San Diego International Airport. It is mostly used for military aviation, but is also served by one commercial airline and one aeromedical Medevac company as well as being used for general aviation activities.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned NYL by the FAA and YUM by the IATA (which has not assigned NYL to any airport). The airport's ICAO identifier is KNYL.
