Airport Mesa is one of four rock formations in Sedona believed by New Age adherents to contain a power vortex. Like Bell Rock, Airport Mesa is said to contain masculine power.

Airport Mesa is named for its location next to the small Sedona Airport. To reach it, drive west out of Sedona on Arizona Highway 89A and turn left onto Airport Road. About halfway up the mesa is a small parking area with multiple hiking trails. The panoramic views from here are among the best in the region and the hiking is easy.
