Aspen/Pitkin County Airport in Colorado, the primary access point for the famous Aspen ski resort, will undergo significant renovations, resulting in a closure from April 4 to November 19, 2027. This closure will impact approximately 700,000 passengers who travel to the region annually. The redevelopment is part of a modernization effort to meet current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety standards, which includes a complete overhaul of the runway and the construction of a new passenger terminal. The runway work is necessary to ensure safety during operations, as it cannot be completed while flights are in service. Although the airport will be closed, Aspen Snowmass has confirmed that its ski areas, hotels, and events will remain operational throughout the renovation period. Visitors will need to utilize alternative regional airports and travel by road to reach the resort. Preparatory work will also commence prior to the airport's closure, impacting local infrastructure. The new terminal is expected to feature energy-efficient systems and improved accessibility, with the overall project scheduled for completion by 2029.
