It’s the only airport in a national park in the country!

Despite its official name being Grand Canyon National Park Airport (GCN), it is actually located outside the national park boundary. It is a classic naming convention trick—much like Gustavus, the name is purely a reflection of the destination it serves. Where is it actually? The airport is located in Tusayan, Arizona, which is an unincorporated community just south of the park. • It sits roughly 2 miles south of the official South Entrance Station of the park.

I think the caveat I heard at the airport was “with commercial jet service”

Gustavus Airport (GST) is a classic "so close, yet so legally far" situation. It serves as the main aviation gateway to Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in Alaska, but it is actually located outside the park boundaries. The airport sits within the small, isolated town of Gustavus. The official Glacier Bay National Park boundary is about 6 road miles away from the airport, and the actual park headquarters at Bartlett Cove is roughly 10 miles away.
