The Eagle County Regional Airport set a new record for passenger enplanement in 2024 with 289,867 passengers.

A major factor in airport’s growth was the addition of low-cost carriers Alaska Airlines and Frontier Airlines, which introduced new routes this winter. The airport also has longtime partnerships with American Airlines, United Airlines, and Delta Air Lines. These airlines expanded their seasonal and year-round service, enhancing connectivity to domestic and international destinations, and increasing capacity.

United Airlines will continue its summer service to Houston and Chicago. This extended summer service is a direct response to strong demand.

As a reflection of the strength of the business at Eagle County, the Colorado Department of Transportation recently released its 2025 Economic Impact Study, highlighting the significant economic contributions from the airport. According to the study, the airport generates:

• $783.4 million in total business revenues
• 4,404 jobs supported by airport activity
• $269.3 million in annual payroll
