A Vital Part of Our Local Economy

What is the Eagle Air Alliance?

Formed in 2002, the EGE Air Alliance is a 501-c6 non-profit public-private partnership that provides the funding to support a vibrant local flight service program that ensures that the Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE) remains a vital part of the Eagle County economy.

What does the Alliance do?

The mission of the EGE Air Alliance is to work with airlines to maintain existing flights and secure new flights to and from the Eagle County Regional Airport.  Air services are not guaranteed by any airline, and the EGE Air Alliance is the one organization that works directly with them to maintain and grow new flights and air routes into Eagle County.
