## Description

A 13,501-foot main runway at 6,187 feet elevation makes Colorado Springs Airport (IATA: COS, ICAO: KCOS) able to launch almost anything — fitting for a field that shares its pavement with Peterson Space Force Base, home of U.S. Space Command. Civilian traffic comes from Southwest, American, United and Delta, while military airlift uses the same concrete. Air cargo stays regional: FedEx runs an air-freight station on the west side, and heavyweight consignments truck about 70 miles up I-25 to Denver's cargo campus. The growth story sits on the airport's doorstep: the roughly 1,600-acre Peak Innovation Park, anchored by a major Amazon fulfillment center — a five-storey, 3.7 million-square-foot building, the largest in Colorado — plus Northrop Grumman and The Aerospace Corporation. For forwarders, COS is a regional feed point into Denver's wider air-freight network.
