Vision Airlines began service in Nevada in February 1995. The now-defunct airline operated tourist charter flights in northern Arizona and Nevada, with destinations including the Grand Canyon, Marble Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Monument Valley.
The company primarily used Boeing 737 and Dornier 228 aircraft. During the summer, Vision Airlines ferried whitewater rafts to various destinations along the Colorado River.
In 2011, Vision Airlines attempted to become a competitive commercial airline with flights to 17 destinations in the US. This effort lasted until 2013, when Vision’s only scheduled flights were from Gulfport-Biloxi to St. Petersburg and Orlando, Florida.
