About

Arriving at Aspen/Pitkin County Airport

Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is one of the most challenging commercial airports in America, nestled in a narrow mountain valley at 7,820 feet elevation. United and American offer year-round service, with capacity increasing during ski season and summer cultural events like the Aspen Ideas Festival and Aspen Music Festival.

ASE's mountain location means flights are frequently delayed, diverted, or cancelled due to weather. This makes landing alerts invaluable—knowing your traveler has actually touched down in Aspen (rather than been diverted to Grand Junction or Denver) lets you plan accordingly. The terminal is tiny and just minutes from downtown, so once they land, pickup is fast.

Pickup tip

ASE has a small terminal located just 3 miles from downtown Aspen. The airport sits in a mountain valley with challenging approaches, meaning weather-related delays and diversions are common. Landing alerts are especially critical here.
