What our brokers know about KAPA

Among the busiest GA airports in the country

At 10,001 ft, Centennial Airport has the fourth-longest runway of the 67 jet-capable fields in Colorado, and at 5,885 ft the field is high enough that density altitude takes a real bite out of what that runway will accept on a warm afternoon. Every one of the 24 types we broker clears it. 25 published route pages reach Denver through this field.

Access

Getting here

Straight-line distances from the cities we publish, with a typical aircraft's block time including taxi, climb and descent.

    From-prices are one way and all-in — operator price, our fee and federal excise tax — for the smallest cabin suited to the distance, indicative rather than quoted.

    Runway

    What can operate here

    Compared against the published balanced field length of every type we broker, with roughly 3% added per 1,000 ft of elevation for density altitude.

    This is runway length only. Individual airports also restrict by wingspan, noise curfew, slot availability and special approach certification, and performance moves with temperature, weight and the day. Clearing the runway here means an aircraft is worth asking about — the operator confirms it, and signs for it.
