Flight Information and Status:
Aspen/Snowmass Flight Information is available online, in the Aspen Airport, as well as on Channel 8 in the Aspen area. Flight times and status are also available on united.com and delta.com.
On your travel days, it is important to check your flight status frequently, as the Aspen Airport is located at a ski area and weather conditions that create great ski conditions may also adversely impact flights. In variable weather conditions, many time delays and cancellations may not be known or updated until scheduled departure time because almost every departure is dependant upon an arrival that may not be able to land. Be advised that a flight status may change very quickly during these conditions and normal information displays may not reflect these changes until you have already departed for the airport. |
