Best Time to Visit
The relationship between the Marine Corps Air Station Yuma and the Yuma International Airport has, at times over the years, become less than solid - specifically when it came to matters of sharing facilities. It was in 2007 that a resolution was passed by the airport director, declaring the two entities aviation partners and laying the foundation for a more cooperative and beneficial relationship for both parties. Three neighboring cities accessible from the airport are Yuma, Wellton, and Somerton.
