## Description

An airport code without a commercial airport behind it: BFK, or KBKF in ICAO format, identifies Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora, Colorado, a US Space Force installation closed to civil traffic and civil cargo alike. Space Base Delta 2 is headquartered here and provides installation support for missile-warning, space-surveillance and space-communications missions. Flying operations are dominated by the Colorado Air National Guard's 140th Wing with F-16C fighters, supplemented by military transport movements serving the base itself. There is no third-party cargo handling, no forwarder access and no civil customs office, and entry to the site is governed by military security rules. Air freight for metropolitan Denver moves through Denver International Airport (DEN) about 35 kilometres away, where the cargo facilities, integrators and customs clearance are located, while Rocky Mountain Metropolitan (BJC) serves business aviation. Interstates 70 and 225 connect the region to the North American trucking network.
