Southwest Wyoming's gateway serving Evanston and Uinta County.

Location
Evanston, United States
Evanston-Uinta County Airport-Burns Field (EVW) is a public-use general aviation airport located in Evanston, Wyoming, serving Uinta County in the southwestern corner of the state. The airport sits at an elevation of approximately 6,997 feet above sea level, reflecting the high-desert terrain of the region. The facility primarily supports general aviation traffic, including private, charter, and corporate flights, as well as some agricultural and emergency services operations. It does not currently host scheduled commercial airline service, making it a reliever and utility airport for the area rather than a commercial hub. Evanston is situated along Interstate 80 near the Utah border, and the airport provides important air access to a region where driving distances to major commercial airports in Salt Lake City, Utah, or other Wyoming cities can be significant.
Terminals
The airport has no commercial passenger terminal; it operates as a general aviation facility with basic fixed-base operator services.
