It has an area of 102 acres at an elevation of 6 meters covering one runway, (7/25) with a concrete surface.

Airlines and Destinations
There is no scheduled commercial airline service at Taylor Airport. It serves mostly general aviation (private and business flights) with private planes. Appearing on a list of defunct airports, the old description describes it like this: "no longer serving commercial air travelers anything beyond general aviation" or in other words, stoppage.
Passenger and Flight Volume
Taylor Airport is a general aviation airport, so passenger or flight statistics are not detailed. Nonetheless, given its dimensions and function, it is likely that the level of activity conducted at this aerodrome will be relatively low on an annual basis with a mix of private aviation use (flights carried out by individuals for business or their own purposes), along with business flights and occasional rural commercial operations servicing the local area.
How to Get Here
The Taylor Airport is located at 1020 Airport Road, Tombstone, Arizona 85939. You can get to it by land, either by local streets or freeway. State Route 77 is a right of way that runs north-south and acts as the next major highway in this area.
Parking
The airport also features on-site visitor and pilot parking. The land is indeed parkland, and parking at venues that have the capacity (meaning not College Park) will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no short- or long-term reserved parking and no covered lot.
