What is the closest private airport to Denver?

Denver Centennial Airport is a general aviation airport located in Centennial, Colorado to the southeast of Denver in the United States. Dubbed as one of the leading general aviation airports, the airport only handles private and charter traffic.



For travelers looking to arrive as close to downtown Denver as possible, Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (BJC) in Broomfield is the top choice, located just 16 miles northwest of the city center. While Denver International (DEN) handles private jets, BJC is often preferred by business travelers for its faster "wheels-down to car" transition. Another premier option is Centennial Airport (APA), situated 18 miles southeast of Denver in Englewood. Centennial is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the U.S. and is the preferred hub for the tech and financial sectors in the Denver Tech Center. Both airports offer 24-hour operations, multiple high-end Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) like Signature and Sheltair, and on-site U.S. Customs services, allowing private flyers to bypass the congestion of the main commercial terminal entirely.
