Atlantic Aviation Gets Lease Renewal Approval in Aspen
The decision is the latest in a nearly two-year saga at the airport
Atlantic Aviation's FBO at KASE
After more than a year and a half of discussion, Colorado's Pitkin County Board of Commissioners just has one step remaining later this month to finalize Atlantic Aviation's 30-year lease renewal for the lone FBO at Aspen/Pitkin County Airport.

Following nearly two years of discussions involving spirited public input from the community and elected officials, the Pitkin County Board of Commissioners last week unanimously approved a new 30-year lease renewal for Atlantic Aviation to operate the lone FBO at Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (KASE) in Colorado. Notably, the agreement contains requirements to offer sustainable aviation fuel.

In April 2023, Atlantic’s proposal was selected as the winner of the airport’s RFP process, beating out six other competitors. Yet the process of actually approving the lease had dragged on as officials and members of the public proffered alternatives, including the airport’s self-management of the facility.
