Which Aircraft for a Flight
To or From Aspen

Aspen's airport is unique: its high-altitude runway and local constraints limit access for larger jets (such as the Global 7500 or Gulfstream G650). For others, a performance analysis is always necessary before confirming your flight. Here are the three scenarios.

Los Angeles 1h50 · Chicago 2h40

These are the most frequent aircraft in Aspen. The Phenom 300, Citation CJ3, and Citation XLS have wingspans between 50 and 68 ft, well below the regulatory threshold. At 7,838 ft altitude, the density altitude (the altitude felt by the engine) requires an adapted weight and range calculation, but the 8,006-foot runway is suitable for them. IFR flight is mandatory, with a flight plan filed 45 minutes before the estimated takeoff. Specific departure procedures: call the Atlantic Aviation FBO before planning.

New York 3h40 · Miami 4h05

Several super-midsize and heavy jets regularly operate at KASE: the Challenger 650 (69 ft wingspan), the Falcon 8X (87 ft), the Gulfstream G550 (93 ft), and the Global 5500 (94 ft) all fall below the 95 ft limit. The altitude requires a serious analysis of the maximum allowable weight and the necessary takeoff distance.

An empty leg to Aspen,
if the sky lines up.

An empty leg to or from Aspen is a repositioning flight already on the schedule: the aircraft needs to reach another base or its next mission. These trips are offered at a reduced fare, often around 30% to 75% off a classic charter, in exchange for less flexibility on dates and routing.

On every enquiry, we systematically scan the sky for these opportunities. The goal: whenever possible, a more competitive quote, on price as well as on the aircraft category available.

Understanding the Price

What Determines the Cost of a Flight to Aspen

In Aspen, ski season dictates prices. From mid-December to late March, and especially around Christmas/New Year and February holidays, private jet demand is at its national peak. FBO parking fees increase, slots are booked several weeks in advance, and operators pass on the cost of positioning an aircraft from Denver or the West Coast.

The altitude (7,838 ft) also impacts the price: some aircraft reduce their commercial payload to operate safely, which may require a fuel stop on the return or a higher category aircraft. Fewer aircraft can operate at KASE than at a sea-level airport: the scarcity of supply is reflected in quotes.

The 11 PM curfew limits late arrivals and may force a two-leg itinerary (landing the day before, with additional crew and parking fees). Plan your flights at least three to four weeks in advance during high season, and request a diversion option to Eagle County (EGE) in the quote from the outset.

AIRPORT & PRIVATE SERVICES

Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (KASE): Operating at 7,838 ft

Sardy Field is Aspen’s airport, at the bottom of the valley, at 2,389 m (7,838 feet). It has a runway of 2,440 m (8,006 feet). You land here for the resort, not to connect to a night flight.

Two limits matter for the trip. The wingspan, from wingtip to wingtip, must not exceed 95 feet (29 m): a very large jet, G650 or Global 7500, cannot come here. It lands at Eagle County, 40 km to the north, and a car finishes the journey. The airport closes from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. A late dinner does not end with a night takeoff.

Alternate and Diversion Airports

Eagle County Regional Airport

EGE / KEGE

40 km north of Aspen, 45 min drive via Route 82

No equivalent wingspan restriction, 2,742 m runway. Ideal for G650, Global 7500, and other large aircraft. FBO on site, transfer by road or private helicopter (20 min).

Rifle Garfield County Airport

RIL / KRIL

71 km northwest, 1h15 drive

Lower altitude (5,543 ft), better performance for aircraft sensitive to density altitude. Atlantic Aviation FBO on site, fuel available.

Denver International Airport

DEN / KDEN

260 km east, approximately 3h drive

No wingspan restrictions or curfew. Signature and Million Air FBOs. Alternative for transatlantic long-range flights or large delegations. Transfer to Aspen by road or shuttle.

Ground welcome

You land. Everything is already in place.

Upon Your Arrival

Atlantic Aviation will meet you at the aircraft. Customs possible for international arrivals, lounge, and a car waiting outside. Downtown Aspen is 10 to 20 minutes away. At Christmas and during February holidays, add sometimes 10 to 15 minutes.

Which jets arrive at the resort

Most business jets can land: Challenger 650 (69 feet), Falcon 8X (87), G550 (93), Global 5500 (94). Above 95 feet, the quote will be for Eagle County. This is not a refusal of the trip, it's a slightly longer car ride.

The last departure, and bad weather

Recent jets no longer take off after 10:30 p.m., even if the airport closes at 11 p.m. There is no ILS, the guidance system that allows descent in low clouds. If the weather closes in, the plane goes to Eagle County or Denver. This is known before departure, not when you are about to get off the plane.

In summer, the air is thinner

At this altitude, a hot afternoon can make the aircraft "feel" like it's at over 11,000 feet. It will then carry fewer passengers, luggage, or fuel. Any difference, if there is one, is included in the quote.

Airport Regulations

The 95-Foot Rule and KASE's Planned Evolution

In 1999, the FAA approved a modification to standard regulations for KASE: the separation between the runway and the taxiway is less than the nationally required 400 feet. In return, Pitkin County committed to prohibiting any aircraft exceeding 95 feet in wingspan. This rule, enshrined in the Pitkin County Code, has been enforced without exception for 25 years.

It excludes the largest ultra-long-range aircraft (Gulfstream G650 at 99 ft, Global 7500 at 104 ft) but allows the majority of business jets to operate: Challenger 650 (69 ft), Falcon 8X (87 ft), Gulfstream G550 (93 ft), Global 5500 (94 ft). The 2,440 m runway is suitable for these aircraft, provided a performance analysis is conducted at the 7,838 ft altitude.

Around 2027, Pitkin County plans a runway reconstruction with an expansion of the safety area. If the project is completed, the runway/taxiway separation will meet the standard 400-foot norm, and the wingspan limit will increase to 118 feet or less. The list of aircraft authorized at KASE will significantly expand. For now, the 95 ft rule remains in effect until the work is completed.

Formalities and safety

Formalities, safety and private flight regulations in the United States

Private jet travelers to the United States must comply with FAA regulations for aviation operations, as well as entry requirements that vary by nationality, origin country, itinerary, and aircraft operation type. Consult official authorities for customs, immigration, and security formalities specific to your situation.

03

Which aircraft are allowed to land at Aspen/Pitkin County (KASE)?

Pitkin County limits access to any aircraft with a wingspan (distance from wingtip to wingtip) of 95 feet or less and a maximum ground weight not exceeding 100,000 lb. In practice, almost all business jets fall within these limits: Phenom 300, Citation XLS, Challenger 650, Falcon 8X, Gulfstream G550. Excluded are: Gulfstream G650, G700, and Bombardier Global 7500, whose wingspans exceed 95 ft.

04

My jet exceeds 95 feet in wingspan, what is the solution?

Route to Eagle County Regional Airport (KEGE/EGE), 40 km north of Aspen. Without an equivalent wingspan constraint, this airport accommodates large ultra-long-range aircraft on a 2,742 m runway. Transfer to Aspen is either by road (45 minutes via Route 82) or by private helicopter (20 minutes). We coordinate both legs to ensure a seamless connection.

05

Is there a curfew at KASE and how to anticipate a late arrival?

KASE is closed from 11 PM to 7 AM local time, without exception. For Stage III certified jets (the majority of recent aircraft), no arrivals between 11 PM and 7 AM, no departures between 10:30 PM and 7 AM. In practice, landing is planned no later than 10:15 PM to allow for a buffer. For transatlantic flights with time zone differences, this may involve arriving the day before or an intermediate stop in Denver.

06

What is the best time to come to Aspen by private jet?

For skiing: late November to late March, with peaks around Christmas/New Year and February holidays. Book 3 to 4 weeks in advance during these periods: FBOs are saturated, prices are high, and aircraft are less available. For more flexibility and moderate prices: late March (end of season) or June-August (sustained but less intense summer demand). The X Games (late January) create an intense 3-day peak.

07

Can I travel with a pet from KASE?

Yes. Private jets accept pets in the cabin. For an international flight to or from Aspen, the United States requires a valid veterinary certificate, an implanted microchip, and proof of rabies vaccination at least 30 days old. These documents should be prepared in advance with your veterinarian to avoid any customs issues upon arrival.

08

Is KASE subject to frequent weather diversions?

Yes, mountain weather is unpredictable. Without ILS, KASE only has LOC/DME and RNAV GPS: approach minima are higher than at an equipped airport. In case of low clouds or reduced visibility, the pilot may decide to divert to Eagle County (EGE) or Denver (KDEN). This is why we always offer a backup plan in the quote, with a vehicle or helicopter ready at Eagle County, without last-minute surcharges.
