Aspen airport announces expanded service this spring
Anna Stonehouse/The Aspen Times |
The three commercial airlines serving Aspen will offer as many as eight daily flights from three hubs this spring, Aspen-Pitkin County Airport announced Tuesday.
Delta will add new service into Aspen this spring with two daily nonstop flights from Salt Lake City; American will continue its daily nonstop service from Dallas-Fort Worth year-round; and United will expand its spring service from Denver to five flights daily in April and May, up from four flights daily last spring. United also will serve Aspen from Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and San Francisco through April 8.
“This spring expansion by all three airline partners should make it a lot more attractive for locals to travel from their local airport,” Aspen-Pitkin County Airport director John Kinney said.
“This will be the first time in the history of the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport that three airlines have offered service throughout April and May,” said Bill Tomcich, president of Stay Aspen Snowmass. “The continuation of this level of service on a year-round basis is going to be incumbent on locals supporting this significantly expanded year-round service.”

Trash in Glenwood Springs causing more bear conflicts than usual
Glenwood Springs is seeing more bear conflicts than any other area in the Roaring Fork Valley. “Glenwood is probably the busiest area from Vail to Aspen for bears. I don’t exactly know why,” said one Colorado Parks and Wildlife game warden. “It’s usually Aspen — they’re usually the busiest, but for this year it seems to be Glenwood.”
