## Description

318,000 enplanements in 2025, up more than 13 percent year on year, and 245 highway miles to 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 carry the passengers; FedEx and UPS feed parcels in and out with turboprops, so the airport handles light air cargo and regional-jet belly loads but no widebody freighters, and its 1,480-metre elevation trims payloads further. Anything heavier rides Interstate 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, from Palisade peaches and Colorado wine to oil-and-gas hardware, leave almost exclusively by truck. Shippers planning larger consignments should budget road feeder service to Denver (about 390 kilometres) or Salt Lake City (about 450 kilometres), where customs clearance and international lift are available. A USD 40.5 million runway replacement is under way, alongside a planned terminal expansion; until 2010 the field answered to the name Walker Field.
