Flights to Colorado Springs
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Colorado Springs is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport (COS), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 13,500-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Pueblo Memorial Airport (PUB, 67 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport | COS | 11 km (7 mi) | 13,500 ft | 6,187 ft |
| Pueblo Memorial Airport (regional) | PUB | 67 km (42 mi) | 10,498 ft | 4,726 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,500 ft, COS can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 6,187 ft; that altitude thins the air enough to affect take-off performance on hot days, which is why summer departures from high airports are sometimes weight-restricted.
