Scenic Airlines, operating under IATA code YR, was a regional and air tour carrier based in the United States. The airline was particularly well known for offering scenic sightseeing flights over the Grand Canyon and other natural landmarks in the American Southwest, serving both tourists and regional passengers. The carrier operated primarily out of Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon area, catering heavily to the tourism market. Its flights gave passengers aerial views of some of the most iconic landscapes in North America, making it a popular choice for visitors to the region. Scenic Airlines faced significant operational and financial challenges over the years. The airline ultimately ceased operations, leaving a gap in the niche market of Grand Canyon air tours that it had helped define.
