Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Announces 2026 Spring Closure for Runway Maintenance

Aspen/Pitkin County Airport Announces 2026 Spring Closure for Runway Maintenance

Aspen/Pitkin County Airport will temporarily close from April 23, 2026, at 9 a.m. through May 21, 2026, at 7 p.m. to conduct required airfield pavement repairs. The maintenance program addresses aging infrastructure while prioritizing passenger safety and minimizing travel disruptions.

Key Points:

  • The 2026 closure ensures continued safety for commercial and general aviation operations.

  • Work will be completed before the Memorial Day holiday to accommodate summer travel.

  • A second phase of overnight improvements will take place later in the year without additional closures.

  • Once the full runway upgrade, approved in 2024, is finished in 2027, annual spring shutdowns will no longer be necessary.

Coordinated closely with aviation partners and the local community, this proactive maintenance plan reflects Aspen’s commitment to operational excellence and traveler convenience.
