How far in advance should I book a private jet to Aspen?

For the widest choice of aircraft and departure times, we recommend booking your private jet to Aspen several weeks in advance, particularly during the winter ski season. Early booking is especially advisable around Christmas and New Year, Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, Presidents’ Day weekend and other peak ski periods, when demand for private aviation, airport parking and aircraft availability can increase significantly. Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is also subject to operational limitations and can experience increased traffic during peak periods. Advance planning allows PVJets to assess aircraft suitability, airport availability and alternative options if required. A last-minute or same-day private jet to Aspen can also sometimes be arranged, subject to aircraft, crew, weather, airport conditions and availability.

Which airport is best for private jets to Aspen?

Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE) is the primary airport for private jet travel to Aspen and is located approximately 5 km from downtown Aspen. Its proximity to Aspen's luxury hotels, ski areas and residences makes it the most convenient airport for travellers heading directly to the resort. However, Aspen Airport has specific aircraft and operational limitations because of its high-elevation mountain location and constrained airfield. Aircraft operating to ASE must comply with applicable size, weight, performance and operational requirements. The airport currently has a 95-foot wingspan restriction and a 100,000-pound maximum landed-weight limitation. PVJets checks the aircraft's suitability for Aspen before confirming the charter and can evaluate alternative airports when necessary.

What types of private jets can fly to Aspen?

The aircraft suitable for Aspen depends on factors including wingspan, weight, runway performance, weather and operating conditions. Aspen/Pitkin County Airport has a 95-foot wingspan limit and a 100,000-pound maximum landed-weight limitation, which means that some larger long-range business jets cannot operate directly into ASE. Depending on the route and passenger requirements, suitable aircraft can include light, midsize, super-midsize, selected heavy jets and selected long-range aircraft that meet Aspen’s operational requirements. PVJets evaluates the aircraft, passenger load, baggage requirements, route, weather and airport conditions before recommending the most suitable jet. For aircraft that cannot operate directly into Aspen, PVJets can arrange an alternative airport and onward ground or helicopter transfer where operationally appropriate.

What is the customs and immigration process when arriving in Aspen by private jet?

Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is primarily a domestic and general aviation airport, so international travellers normally need to enter the United States through an airport with the appropriate customs and immigration facilities before continuing to Aspen. For international private jet itineraries, PVJets can coordinate an appropriate U.S. arrival airport and onward private flight or ground transfer to Aspen, depending on the aircraft and itinerary. Passengers entering the United States must comply with U.S. immigration, customs and border requirements. These can include passport checks, baggage inspection and declarations concerning restricted or controlled goods.

Can I combine a private jet to Aspen with onward travel to Vail or other Colorado destinations?

Yes. Aspen can be combined with a wider luxury itinerary across Colorado and the Rocky Mountains. PVJets can arrange private chauffeur transfers, helicopter connections or onward private flights to destinations such as Vail, Beaver Creek, Telluride, Steamboat Springs and Denver, depending on the itinerary, aircraft and weather conditions.
