Colorado’s Aspen/Pitkin Airport will be down for runway and taxiway pavement maintenance. The annual closure will run from April 23 through May 21.

Colorado’s Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (KASE) will be closing for a month of pavement maintenance starting on April 23. According to airport authorities, after a busy ski season, annual spring maintenance is required on the aging 8,000-foot runway and taxiway to ensure it remains safe and reliable for both commercial and general aviation users.

Conducted in coordination with airport stakeholders and the local community, the work will commence at 9 a.m. on April 23 to allow for evening flights to depart and to minimize disruptions. It will reopen on May 21 at 7 p.m. to enable aircraft to reposition for a full flight schedule the following day. Nearby Rifle Garfield County (KRIL) and Eagle County Regional (KEGE) airports could see traffic increases during the closure.
