Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE)

Private Jet Charter From Eagle County Regional Airport

Eagle County Regional Airport is the dedicated gateway to Vail, Beaver Creek, and the Eagle and Vail Valleys. Located in Gypsum, Colorado, approximately 30 miles west of Vail Village and 12 miles west of Beaver Creek, EGE handles a mix of seasonal commercial service and significant private aviation traffic, with peak demand during the winter ski season. For travellers heading directly to the Vail and Beaver Creek resorts, EGE is the most convenient gateway in the Colorado Rockies and a more flexible option than Aspen for heavier aircraft.

For premium charter clients, Eagle County offers two well-equipped fixed base operators, Vail Valley Jet Center and Atlantic Aviation, with private passenger lounges, planeside vehicle access, and direct coordination with luxury ground transport into Vail, Beaver Creek, and surrounding resorts. The airport's longer runway and lower elevation than Aspen allow it to handle midsize and certain heavy jets, making it a preferred choice for larger groups and longer-range departures. Aircraft performance is affected by high altitude. ParaFlight selects aircraft specifically suited to high-altitude operations and will confirm the most suitable aircraft for your route.
