Destination Colorado Meetings

Product description

When planning where to meet, one of the key factors is how people will get there. For those that need to fly, a destination’s accessibility is a key factor and Colorado's got it covered.

International Airport

Denver International Airport (DEN) is Colorado’s largest airport and was ranked the third- busiest airport in the world in 2021 based on total passenger traffic, which represents the facility’s highest ever ranking. DEN is bringing in more flights from around the globe and adding 39 new gates through the airport’s Gate Expansion Program, making Colorado one of the most accessible destinations for groups and business and leisure travelers.

Regional Airports

While Denver International Airport is the state’s largest airport and a connecting point for many flights originating from around Colorado and around the country, the overall success and convenience of flying in and out of the state is also reliant on the entire network of airports here.

Two other large Colorado communities, Colorado Springs south of Denver and Grand Junction on the Western Slope, are served by multiple carriers. Colorado Springs Airport (COS) features flights offered by American, Delta, Frontier, Southwest and United while Grand Junction Regional Airport (GTJ) has routes operated by Allegiant, American, Frontier and United.

The Front Range also is served by Northern Colorado Regional Airport (FNL) in Loveland, and southern Colorado has Pueblo Memorial Airport (PUB) in Pueblo and Alamosa San Luis Valley Regional Airport (ALS) in Alamosa. In the southwest, Cortez Municipal Airport (CEZ) provides access to all sorts of historic treasures like Mesa Verde National Park, and Montrose Regional Airport is in a booming Western Slope community and serves as a gateway to Telluride, Ridgway and Ouray.

It’s also easy to reach mountain destinations like Aspen, Snowmass, Durango, Vail, Beaver Creek, Gunnison, Crested Butte, Telluride and Steamboat Springs via regional airports that are simple to fly to and from due to their compact size. Like Denver International Airport, a fair number has completed or are undergoing significant renovations to improve airport operations, add passenger amenities and accommodate growth. Two examples are Eagle County Regional Airport and Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport.
