What our brokers know about KEGE
Common alternate when Aspen is weather-restricted
Eagle County Regional Airport's 9,000 ft of runway puts it in the longest quarter of Colorado's 67 jet-capable fields, and at 6,548 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. 18 published route pages reach Aspen through this field.

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.
