Common questions

How long is the flight from Los Angeles to Aspen?

Roughly two hours in a suitable jet, subject to terrain routing and winds.

Are aircraft restrictions different from a west coast departure?

The departure point does not change Aspen's limits. The same approved aircraft list and weather rules apply on arrival.

Should I plan for a diversion?

In winter, yes. Aspen weather can force a diversion to Rifle or Eagle, then a ground transfer.
