COS Airport (City of Colorado Springs Municipal Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

A 13,501-foot main runway at 6,187 feet elevation lets Colorado Springs Airport (IATA: COS, ICAO: KCOS) handle almost any aircraft type despite the thin air — 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, Delta and Allegiant, and the airport counted 501,547 passengers in the first quarter of 2026 as carriers added frequencies to Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Salt Lake City and Atlanta. The 45.5 million dollar ElevateCOS concourse modernisation reached its final phase in 2026, expanding gate capacity and passenger facilities. Air cargo stays regional and belly-based, with no dedicated freighter operation: 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 five-storey Amazon fulfillment center, Northrop Grumman and The Aerospace Corporation. For forwarders, COS is a regional feed point into Denver International (DEN), with Pueblo Memorial (PUB) to the south available for charter work.
