Eagle County Regional Airport KEGE / EGE
The gateway to Vail and Beaver Creek, 40 minutes east along I-70, with a 9,000 ft runway and no wingspan limit, so it takes the heavies Aspen cannot. Vail Valley Jet Center is the sole FBO; CBP by appointment. Winter weekend ramp space is reserved well in advance and the RNP/LOC-DME approaches need training.
