About Boulder Municipal Airport
Boulder Municipal Airport is a general aviation airport serving Boulder and the surrounding communities of Colorado's Front Range. It has operated continuously at its present site just northeast of the city since 1928, supporting private, business, recreational and emergency aviation. It does not offer commercial airline service.
Located about 3 miles northeast of downtown Boulder, the airport covers roughly 136 acres and has two runways, including a 4,100-foot asphalt runway and a parallel glider runway. Its elevation is 5,288 feet above sea level, and it is open to flights 24 hours a day.
The airport is connected to Boulder by local roads, with downtown Boulder a short drive away. Travelers flying commercially typically arrive through Denver International Airport, about 30 miles southeast, or Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, with ground shuttles and public bus services linking those airports to the Boulder area.
With aviation fuel, hangars, tie-downs, flight training, aircraft maintenance and a public viewing area, the airport functions as a convenient general aviation base for pilots and visitors traveling to Boulder and nearby mountain destinations.
