Non-towered airport

Sedona Airport, in Arizona's Verde Valley, is one of the many airports that operate without a control tower.

In aviation, a non-towered airport is an airport without a control tower, or air traffic control (ATC) unit. In the United States, there are close to 20,000 non-towered airports compared to approximately 500 airports with control towers.[1] Airports with a control tower without 24/7 ATC service follow non-towered airport procedures when the tower is closed but the airport remains open, for example at night.[2]
