Eagle County Regional Airport — Eagle, United States

EGE, Eagle County Regional Airport, serves the Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts in the Colorado Rockies. Sitting at high elevation surrounded by mountainous terrain, EGE experiences a dramatic seasonal surge each winter as skiers and snowboarders fly in from across the country and internationally via charter and scheduled flights. The airport's challenging approach, due to altitude and surrounding peaks, requires specially trained flight crews. In summer, traffic shifts toward hikers, golfers, and mountain tourism, though volumes are lower than ski season. EGE's runway and terminal capacity have been expanded over the years to accommodate growing luxury travel demand tied to Eagle County's high-end resort economy, making it one of the busiest seasonal mountain airports in the U.S.
