## Description

Seven thousand one hundred forty feet of elevation and a 7,300-foot runway make Evanston-Uinta County Airport, also known as Burns Field (EVW/KEVW), capable on paper and limited in practice. The field lies about five kilometres west of Evanston in the far southwest corner of Wyoming and is owned jointly by the City of Evanston and Uinta County, offering fuel and maintenance but no terminal and no scheduled airline. Traffic is general aviation, corporate and charter; there is no cargo facility, no handling agent and no customs post for air freight. Runway 05/23 could take turboprops or light business jets on an ad-hoc charter, yet density altitude on warm days cuts usable payload sharply, so this is not dependable freight capacity. Scheduled air cargo for the region moves through Salt Lake City International (SLC) roughly 130 kilometres west, where FedEx and UPS operate their own facilities, with Denver (DEN) as the eastbound alternative. Day to day, Evanston's goods travel on Interstate 80 and the Union Pacific main line that created the town.
