Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KCFO?
Colorado Air and Space Port operates two paved asphalt runways. Runway 08/26 measures 8,002 feet by 100 feet, and Runway 17/35 measures 8,000 feet by 100 feet. Both are long enough to accommodate the large majority of business jet types without length constraints. Lighting includes MALSR on Runway 26 and 35, REIL on Runway 08 and 17, PAPI on all four runway ends, and HIRL or MIRL depending on the runway, with activation via CTAF.
Is customs clearance available onsite at KCFO?
Colorado Air and Space Port does not have onsite customs clearance according to the airport data. The nearest customs facility is Denver International, located approximately 7.79 nautical miles away. Flights requiring customs processing should plan to route through that facility rather than expecting clearance at KCFO itself. Dispatchers should factor this into arrival planning for international flights terminating in the Denver area.
What fuel is available at KCFO?
Colorado Air and Space Port stocks both 100LL and Jet A fuel. 100LL is available on a self-service basis around the clock, accessible with a credit card. Jet A availability is listed among the airport's fuel types as well. Dispatchers planning fuel stops should confirm current Jet A service arrangements directly, since the self-serve detail in the airport remarks applies specifically to 100LL.
What operational cautions apply near KCFO?
Colorado Air and Space Port lies near noise-sensitive areas to the south, southeast, and southwest of the airport. Pilots are advised to avoid flight below 1,000 feet over populated areas in those directions. Additionally, the airport notes caution for U.S. Air Force training activity in the vicinity of Colorado Springs and Pueblo Airport, which is relevant for flights operating in that broader corridor. These remarks reflect published airport notices rather than temporary restrictions.
How does traffic at KCFO vary through the year?
Business aviation operations at Colorado Air and Space Port, known as KCFO, show a clear seasonal pattern based on FAA TFMSC data for 2025. Monthly business aviation operations rise from 141 in January to a peak of 246 in July, with August close behind at 243. Traffic then declines through the fall and winter months, dropping to 129 operations in December. Dispatchers scheduling flights in summer should anticipate a busier operational tempo than in winter months.
