The Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority Board of Commissioners has voted to incentivize the transition to UL94 unleaded avgas at Denver Centennial Airport (KAPA). While the Eagle program led by the FAA has set a target date of 2030 for the elimination of 100LL gasoline, KAPA wishes to position itself among the vanguard of airports leading the charge.

“We have engaged in numerous discussions with the community regarding the use of leaded aviation fuel and are proud to be among the first general aviation airports in the country to commit to this transition,” said Centennial Airport executive director Mike Fronapfel. “One of our goals is to be able to provide a framework that other airports around the nation can use to make this transition as well.”
