Dates for 2025 pavement maintenance at Aspen/Pitkin County Airport announced
PITKIN COUNTY, COLO. (Sept. 25, 2024) – The dates for the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport’s annual spring closure have been announced. The flying public should plan for a May 5 – June 1, 2025 closure for airfield pavement maintenance. Due to the facility’s aging airfield pavement, the airport must perform yearly maintenance on its runway, taxiway, and aprons. Last year’s closure lasted 18 days, but this year’s is scheduled for 27 days, with the possibility of extending further in future years as the need for repairs increases. Read more about the state of the airport’s runway and a news release about the most recent closure in May, 2024.
The work is part of the airport’s ongoing mission to ensure a safe and reliable transportation facility. Please note that this closure coincides with Memorial Day and school graduation events, so plan your travel accordingly. Additionally, emergency winter closures may be necessary if conditions warrant.
We encourage the public to take a tour of the airport and get an insider’s look at upcoming airport changes, engage in discussion, and gain a deeper understanding of ASE’s role in the community. Sign up here.
