## Description

571,000 passengers in 2024 and 245 highway miles from the nearest major cargo hub — that is the operating reality of Grand Junction Regional (GJT/KGJT), the busiest airfield on Colorado's Western Slope. United, American, Delta and Allegiant fly the passengers; FedEx and UPS feed parcels in and out with turboprops, so the airport handles light air cargo but no widebody freighters. Anything heavier rides the I-70 or the Union Pacific main line, both running straight through the Grand Valley toward Denver or Salt Lake City. The valley's own exports — Palisade peaches, Colorado wine, oil-and-gas hardware — leave almost exclusively by truck. Until 2010 the field answered to the name Walker Field.
