Flying to Aspen
Aspen-Pitkin County (KASE) is a Rockies altiport at 2,384 metres, subject to strict aircraft, approach-slope and daytime restrictions. Only certain certified jets may land. It is the direct gateway to the most prestigious ski resort in the United States; demand peaks during the winter season and the year-end holidays, when parking becomes the limiting factor.
Aspen is a high-altitude altiport with strict constraints: only certain certified jets land, by day, on a demanding mountain approach. Demand peaks in winter and over the holidays, when parking becomes the real limiting factor. Many travellers from Europe transit via the East Coast before the domestic leg into the Rockies, a sequence we coordinate.
On the ground, handling at Pitkin County is provided by leading FBOs — Atlantic Aviation and Signature — for reception, formalities and boarding a few steps from the aircraft.
