We are a community of residents, homeowners, and business owners who are adversely impacted by recent developments at Cottonwood Airport.

The substantial rise in repetitive flight training operations, along with the administrative changes made by the airport over the last two years, has broadened the areas impacted, and, significantly diminished the quality of life for many in our community.

VVAir is not anti-airport. Rather, we are a fact-based, goal-oriented group working towards constructive, realistic solutions for Verde Valley residents.
