Private jet ground transport at KASE

Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (also known locally as Sardy Field) sits at 7,820 feet with a single runway, mountainous terrain on three sides, and a slot-controlled approach that requires special crew certification. It is three miles from downtown Aspen and, in good weather, the most convenient arrival point for private aviation in the Roaring Fork Valley. The challenge is that good weather at KASE is not guaranteed.

KASE has one fixed-base operator: Atlantic Aviation. Atlantic holds a 30-year FBO lease signed with Pitkin County in 2024 — meaning every private jet that lands at KASE is handled by Atlantic. JetSet Mountain FBO Ground Transportation maintains credentialed ramp access at Atlantic Aviation. Our chauffeur is staged at the FBO and positioned plane-side before your aircraft's wheels touch down. Ten feet from airstair to vehicle — no terminal walk, no ground transportation circle, no waiting.

Every KASE reservation is filed as a block — a window of time, not a pickup minute. Your tail number goes to dispatch at booking. If KASE reroutes and your aircraft diverts to Rifle Garfield County (KRIL, 61 miles) or Eagle County Regional (KEGE, 68 miles), the vehicle repositions automatically. The same block covers all three airports. There are no alternate-airport fees, no rebooking calls, and no explanations after the fact.

For executive assistants and chiefs of staff managing principal travel: a single briefing from your office covers the tail number, expected FBO, vehicle preference, and contingency contacts. Everything else is managed by a named coordinator with a direct mobile line. The principal's day continues without a phone call to your desk.
