Sheltair

Sheltair's FBO at Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport won Aviation International News' 2020 Top Flight Award for Best New FBO Facility in North America, and the facility has continued to expand since then. The 10,400-square-foot terminal sits at the base of the Rocky Mountains between Denver and Boulder, offering panoramic mountain views from a modern, well-designed space. The standout feature is a 162-foot airside canopy that shields passengers and aircraft from Colorado's variable weather during boarding and deplaning. Nearly 11 acres of ramp space accommodate everything from light jets to ultra-long-range aircraft. A 31,050-square-foot hangar with 4,455 square feet of attached office space handles large-cabin class aircraft. In April 2024, Sheltair completed a new state-of-the-art hangar complex comprising three separate structures, further expanding the facility's capacity for based and transient aircraft. Charter passengers arriving at BJC benefit from the airport's position as the preferred general aviation field for the Denver-Boulder corridor. Unlike Denver International, which sits 25 miles east of the city, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan is about 15 minutes from both downtown Denver and the University of Colorado Boulder campus. The FBO offers full concierge services, ground transportation arrangements, rental cars, and crew amenities. The COVID-era terminal design incorporated health-conscious features that earned praise from the AIN editorial team. For passengers headed to ski resorts, the FBO provides a faster start to the I-70 mountain corridor than DIA.
