Scenic Airlines is an American Airline which is based in Las Vegas, Nevada . The airline uses (14) DHC-6-300 Twin Otter s which have been converted to VistaLiners and (4) BE-1900 Beechcraft 1900 s, both for flight sightseeing tours and regular passenger flights. Since it serves many out-of-the-way airports, Scenic is often the largest tenant. Scenic Airlines is the only scheduled airline in the continental United States to service unimproved airports. HISTORY ''Scenic Airlines'' was originally started during the 1930s , with the idea of giving passengers views of the Grand Canyon.It was named "Scenic Airways" With time, however, ''Scenic Airways'' failed, and it went bankrupt. In 1967 , after Las Vegas's scene had been reinvigorated by the presence of Hotel s and Casino s, the airline was revived, as "Scenic Airlines" and it operated flights with a relatively low profile. During the 1990s , the airline saw much economic growth, opening overseas offices in such places as Argentina and Japan , among other countries, and expanding services to Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix and other large, regional airports. The services to Phoenix would later be moved to Scottsdale Municipal Airport , Scenic becoming the only commercial airline into that airport. During the late 1990s, Scenic introduced in-flight descriptions of the places they overflew on sightseeing flights in eight different languages. SCHEDULED FLIGHT DESTINATIONS
