Private jet charter from Aspen

Aspen refuses anything over a 95 ft wingspan and sits at 7,820 ft, which rules out the largest aircraft outright and penalises the rest.

A broker replies within 2 hours, 06:00–23:00 US Eastern. This opens a request, not a booking — nothing is confirmed until an operator returns a signed quote.

Which field to fly from

It is the field business aviation uses, though its 95 ft wingspan limit rules out the largest aircraft — KGUC takes those.

Fields serving Aspen
Field From KASE Longest runway Published limit
KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) 8,006 ft Wingspan capped at 95 ft; maximum landing weight 100,000 lb on dual wheels.
KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport 25 nm 9,000 ft none published
KGUC Gunnison Crested Butte Regional Airport 41 nm 9,400 ft none published
KRIL Garfield County Regional Airport 44 nm 7,000 ft none published

Distances are straight-line from KASE, not drive times. A field twenty miles further out can still be the faster departure if it is on the right side of the traffic — worth saying out loud when you send a request.

What people fly, and what it costs
