Flying into Telluride, Colorado through Telluride Regional and 1 alternate field. Operators bid on your trip without knowing who is flying it.
Arrival
Landing at Telluride
Telluride sits in Colorado at 37.95 degrees north, 107.91 degrees west. Charter traffic works through Telluride Regional, KTEX.
You have 2 fields to choose between: Telluride Regional (KTEX) and Montrose Regional (KMTJ). They are not interchangeable. Runway length decides which aircraft can use each one, customs facilities decide which can take an international arrival, and ground transfer time to your actual destination often matters more than either.
Telluride sits at roughly 9,070 ft, the highest commercial service airport in North America, with a mesa top runway and no instrument approach to some minimums. Many operators route to Montrose and drive the final leg when conditions at Telluride are marginal.
Ask any operator to confirm three things for your date before you commit: ramp and overnight parking availability, customs hours if you are arriving internationally, and whether the aircraft they are offering has an approved crew for the field. The third one catches people out at terrain constrained airports where the operator needs a specific qualification.
| Airport | ICAO | IATA | Coordinates | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telluride Regional | KTEX | TEX | 37.954, -107.909 | Preferred |
| Montrose Regional | KMTJ | MTJ | 38.510, -107.894 | Alternate |
