About Centennial Airport

Centennial Airport is the primary general aviation airport serving the Denver metropolitan area and Colorado's Front Range. Founded in 1968 as Arapahoe County Airport, it is owned by the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority and ranks among the busiest general aviation airports in the United States.

Located in Englewood, about 15 miles southeast of downtown Denver, the airport serves private, business and charter aviation rather than scheduled commercial passenger flights. It acts as a key reliever for Denver International Airport and sits close to the Denver Tech Center, a major regional business district.

The airfield features three runways and is served by multiple fixed-base operators offering passenger lounges, hangar space, fueling and maintenance. The airport operates a continuous FAA control tower and provides on-demand U.S. Customs clearance for international arrivals.

Ground access is available via South Peoria Street and nearby highways including I-25 and E-470, with taxis, private transfers, chauffeurs, rental cars and group transportation connecting travelers to downtown Denver and destinations across the Front Range.
