Monte Vista Municipal Airport's 5,902 ft of runway is longer than most of the 67 jet-capable fields in Colorado, and at 7,611 ft the field is high enough that density altitude takes a real bite out of what that runway will accept on a warm afternoon. 11 of the 24 types we broker clear it; the runway rules out 13. The nearest city we publish corridors for is Aspen, 125 miles away.

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.
