Description
KEGE - Eagle County Regional Airport
KEGE is a high altitude regional airport located deep in the Rocky Mountains in the town of Gypsum. Whether departing or coming in to land, this airport offers some of the best views in the country. The airport has a single 9000x150ft / 2743x46m runway with two instrument approaches and three departures. In 2019 the main terminal underwent a $32,000,000 renovation to increase the space inside the terminal and add the airport's first 4 jetways. Additionally, the airport has recently paved out a dedicated de-ice pad on the east side of the airport while the airport's primary FBO has begun cnstructing more hangers to the west of the terminal.

Hi there, Thanks for your effort, but would it possible to add lights to the interior of terminals? The Terminals/ buildings are pitch black as if the airport is closed?

What a fantastic airport, and for free none-the-less. Should be 5.5 stars, but the rating doesn't go that high... Great work.

I just checked and they are still connected on my end. I have no clue how they could be disconnected for some people but not others. Only thing I can recommend is double check you are on version 1.1
