Triennial Exercise

Triennial Emergency Exercise

The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport will conduct its next Triennial Full-Scale Emergency Exercise on June 13, 2026. As a commercial service airport, the FAA requires a full-scale aircraft incident exercise every three years to ensure continued preparedness and compliance.

This exercise allows the airport to implement and evaluate its Airport Emergency Plan (AEP) in coordination with our mutual aid partners, including Aspen Fire Protection District, Roaring Fork Fire Rescue Authority, and Aspen Ambulance District. It also provides a good opportunity to strengthen coordination among agencies and give the community a better understanding of how airport emergency response operations work, along with a behind-the-scenes look at the airport.
