## Description

SkyWest, flying as United Express, provides the single scheduled link at Cheyenne Regional Airport / Jerry Olson Field (CYS/KCYS) in Wyoming — one daily rotation to Denver (DEN) that accounted for 30,430 of the roughly 58,850 passengers recorded by US transport statistics in 2025. At that scale there is no dedicated cargo terminal and no confirmed scheduled freighter service; goods travel at most as belly or feeder loads. The field shares its site with Cheyenne Air National Guard Base, home to the 153rd Airlift Wing and its C-130H fleet, and offers a 9,270 foot concrete runway plus a 6,690 foot asphalt runway. Alpine Air Express, a contract carrier for UPS and the US Postal Service, runs a regional heavy maintenance and paint facility here for Beech 1900 and B99 aircraft — a maintenance base, not a cargo handling operation, a distinction frequently blurred in secondary sources. The passenger terminal opened in November 2018, a USD 2 million jet bridge followed in 2023, and an architecture and engineering tender was issued in 2026. CBP presence is unconfirmed, and with Cheyenne sitting at the I-25 and I-80 junction some 100 miles north of Denver, air freight in practice moves through DEN, with Laramie Regional (LAR) as a minor alternative.
